Well Vulva and I have now returned from our European vacation and – well bless your heart, thank you for asking – yes, we had a very nice time. We saw tons of beautiful scenery, quaint villages and ancient architecture. But of all the fascinating things we saw, at the top of the list I might have to put the view out the plane window as our flight path on our return trip took us smack dab over Greenland. And it appeared to be a beautiful day in Greenland, ladies and gentlemen, a most beautiful day. This was among the best photos we got, but even more impressive were vistas of huge glaciers that truly looked like massive rivers of ice, and enormous bays filled with icebergs. It was truly an alien-like landscape, unlike anything I’d ever seen before.
I won’t bore you with all the details of where we were, but here’s just a few quick snippets.
The most spectacular scenery had to be in the Alps – unfortunately only one of our three days in that area was sunny, but that one day was amazing. I’m guessing that if we had been lucky enough to see Innsbruck in that type of weather it would have seemed like a fairy-tale place.
The “neatest” place we went that I had never heard of before – and I mean that sincerely – was Brugge in Belgium (pronounced like Broozzhh). I give it a “Double-Duncan.”
The worst driver nightmare ever was in Basel Switzerland where we managed, after apparently taking a few wrong turns when not understanding the traffic signs, to find ourselves in the middle of a huge pedestrian plaza with no idea how to get the hell out.
And the most alive city we saw was Amsterdam, where you could walk forever and see nothing but beautiful canals and architecture, hundreds of restaurants, and literally thousands of people sitting outside at those restaurants enjoying the beautiful fall weather. (And a special thanks to our friends “W” and “N” for their great hospitality.)
But now we’re home, and that’s swell too.
