Here’s an interesting story about a man who tried to visit 12 European countries in 24 hours.

Colonel Ray Pye’s eyes bulge with disbelief. The owner of Folkestone’s Harbourside Hotel has just asked what he always asks guests eating his full English breakfast. ‘Where are you going today?’ ‘France,’ I reply. ‘Well, have a safe…’ he begins before I interrupt: ‘…and Belgium and Holland.’ The colonel looks mildly impressed. ‘Then through Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland.’ The colonel stares as if I am having some kind of fit. ‘Then into Austria via Liechtenstein,’ I continue. ‘Down into Italy. And finally Slovenia and Croatia by the end of the day.’ As I leave the restaurant and head upstairs to pack I’m sure he mutters: ‘Nutter’.

Here’s a good travel guide to Dubrovnik in Croatia. I’ve never been there but this could be a good read for your future travel plans.
| When people talk about Croatian tourism what generally comes to mind is the gorgeous city of Dubrovnik, which is located on the southern coast. Dubrovnik is now one of the hot spots for tourism and for good reason, as the city is absolutely gorgeous, which is an understatement like saying Italy has decent food or the Eiffel Tower is a nice structure. |
| The city of Dubrovnik is spectacular itself, but the main tourist destination is inside the city walls. Inside the city walls there are gorgeous churches, many restaurants, shops, souvenir shops, and cafes. A visit to Dubrovnik is not complete without taking a walk on top of the city walls, where you can walk around the entire walled city center and have fantastic views of the coast and the lively town center. The walk takes a couple of hours, but it is something that can’t be missed and it only costs around 50 kunas, which is only 5 pounds. |

Here’s some pics of Venice where they can get to places on boats, how cool is that?
|
“Without streets and vehicles, the uproar of wheels, the brutality of horses, and with its little winding ways where people crowd together, where voices sound as in the corridors of a house where the human step circulates as if it skirted the angles of furniture and shoes never wear out, the place has the character of an immense collective apartment, in which Piazza San Marco is the most adorned corner”.
