First attempts of travelling abroad
and on to Dover to spend my summer vacation with a family there.
I had just then studied English for 3 years
and sure enough did have quite a few language problems.
But this was the first time that I ever went to a non-German speaking country
and this was the foundation of many more trips to come!
Please forgive the bad quality of the pictures,
but keep in mind, that this trip dates back some 30 years
- and I just found them again!!!
I do hope, you will enjoy them anyway!!

Lovely little page Christine! I never tire of learning more about London :)
Tini, I still haven't heard anything about your London trip. And here it looks like you haven't been to London since 1973. :-)
Love these old photos Christine - especially the Piccadilly one with all the old cars!
Good morning, Christine. Great idea to document your first foreign travel ever. I enjoyed reading the tips and looking at your historic photos. Have a good day, Don.
an interesting page, bringing back great memories ! Und die verwaschenen Farben der alten Fotos sind auch really "very british" ! alles Gute aus Österreich !!
The Tower Bridge ! Hmm indeed a landmark in London, next to the Cuban "restaurante" Floridita.
Nice step back in time - but London never changes - good page
Christine, you certainly did a grand job on a trip from 30 years ago. Your photogrpahs look good, too. Your details are important to travels and quite helpful. Thanks for rekindling my love of London!
Great informations and stories!!!
Nice to see London in there with all your other world trips, you are very lucky to be so well travelled. Keep it up
