craft for a 40 minute channel cross-
ing to Calais. They travelled by an In-
sight Tours bus up to Amsterdam,
which they described as wall to wall
people, a high .percentage of them
tourists. They had a boat tour of the
canals, visited a wooden shoe factory
and a cheese factory which used cow.
sheep and goats' milk. Some wind-
mills were seen on their trip in the
country.

try with velvety green .fields,
vineyards and flowers everywhere.

where beautiful blown glass obiects

supposed house of the Romeo and
Juliet. drama.
In Lucerne, Switzerland they went
up 10,000 foot Mt. Titlis by cablecar,
and Bill climbed the glacier to the top
of the mountain. Most people take a
camera with them on their travels, but
Bill added a tape recorder to capture
stories, etc. He has very clear recor-
dings of the music of the cowbells.
The best milk producers in the herd
have the most melodious bells. The
cows pasture on the plateaus, and
farmers have cablecars to get up to
them at milking time.
They visited Geneva and Paris, and
toured the palace and gardens of Ver-
sailles, also the Canadian Cemetery
at Vimy Ridge where so many First
World War soldiers are buried.
Following their return to Dover,
again by hovercraft, they rented a car
and toured Wales and the Lake
District, then travelled as far north as
Perth and Errol, Scotland, and Edin-
burgh. They were unable to find
relatives in the area, or much infor-
mation on their ancestors.
James Ilerriot's hill country in
Yorkshire was very beautiful, and
Hadrian's Wall was an interesting
historical site.
They were very impressed with
their tour guide and the wealth of in-
formation he shared with them, and
with the beautiful scenery and flowers
in most countries.
