Description
In May of 1992, my wife and I departed on a honeymoon, one best characterized as the ultimate of all journeys.
Using the very last of my frequent-flyer mileage, we embarked on a 24 day fast-faced, whirlwind tour throughout Western Europe.
Landing at London Gatwick, we first saw all the sights of London, including the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, the Talk of London, the West End, Westminster, Whitehall, the Changing of the Guard, the Thames River Cruise and the Tower of London.
Boarding a ferry from Dover, UK to Oostende, BE, my wife and i continued on to Bruxelles (including Mannekin Pis and Grand-Place), Amsterdam en Volendam (seeing the Van Moppes Diamond Factory, riding on a cruise of Amsterdam's canals, seeing Hark van Haarlem's restored 16th-Century windmill, stopping at the Jacob Hoove Cheese Farm, Joyce and I finally shopped in Volendam itself.
Along Deutschland's beautiful der Rhein, we toured Kolndom, boarded a cruise along der Rhein from Loreleystadt to Sankt Goarshausen, toured Schloss Heidelberg, drove through Schwartzwald, hiked up der Rheinfels and ascended Schweizerland's Zum Pilatus by cogbahn.
In picturesque Luzern, we arrived from the summit of Zum Pilatus by gondola car and enjoyed all its sights, including Lowendenkmal, der Gleichergarten, walked along its medieval walls and lunched at Stadtkeller's Restaurant, before continuing to München and having a round of beer at der Hofbräuhaus.
Entering Österreich, we dined at Preshaus Huber in Grinzing and visited the historic district of Salzburg, moved on to Wien in all of its imperial splendor, not to exclude Belvedere, Ringstraße, Der Prater, Stephandom and Schloss Schönbrunn.
At Klagenfurt, just west of the former Yugoslav border, my wife and I reached our most distant point.
The author might add that, if nothing else, this publication is a lesson in conversational European with its local nomenclature in ITALICS.
I might also adds point out that each of the following photographs were made with an archaic 35 mm SLR camera. Without the benefit of modern high definition technology, the author has tried to compensate using BAT photograph editing software.
This proves the case when one rolls down the autobahn at 100 MPH or even faster while hardly having the opportunity at selecting a faster shutter speed.
