Denmark 1960

This is the hotel where we stayed 1960. But the photo is actually taken in 1968.

Ferry

Silja

This was the ship we took to Finland 1964. Our car had to be taken on board by a crane.

Finland 1964

Me and my sisters in front of the little house we had rented for our holidays.

Note: This house had no electricity, no tap water, no water toilet, no washing machine, no nothing.

We used an outside toilet, the lake for swimming and cleaning ourselves and the water from the clean lake for cooking and washing the clothes. My mother did a great job and I admire her deeply for all the hardships she took just to make it a great holiday for us kids.

Of course we had to help her: fetching the water from the lake or from the well and cleaning the dishes. And that we did not cry, when being washed in the cold water of the lake, was a help, too!

Gotland, Sweden 1966

Visby with its old citywall was very fascinating.

Gotland 1964

Old church in Gotland

I was already interested in old things at that time.

Oland, Sweden 1968

Denmark 1968

Our car got stuck very often in the sand.

I have always dreamed of going to Germany but unluckily I don't know anyone there so can we be friends if you don't mind to share your thoughts so that I can know more about your country. Regards Sadiq

Some of the reasons I love V T is to read the true life stories of a traveler in China. I enjoy reading your homepage and other travels. I just marvel at your pictures also of all the place you have been. Great job and it is noted that it is noted. I have read every word with the thought and passion of my travel experience,
