Vulgaria? Hardly!

What a tempting and delicious mélange is Europe. Ever-changing, never-changing and full to the rim of things to do, the Motherland will keep you entertained and enthused until you take your last breath, practically. After all of the world wars that this place has endured, it still remains, almost like 27 birds flying…

Halligen’s Island

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. Does that ring any bells, Cap'n? If you lived in North America or Canada in the 1960's you'll know that song - the theme from Gilligan's Island. …

It’s not an illusion….

.....  it's an Ilyushin IL-96-300 from Madrid, touching down in Havana, Cuba. And the blogger here is rather pleased. It's less about the flight and more about the aircraft, the Ilyushin il-96-300. In some countries, the idea of Russian planes and the country of Cuba get sabers rattling and spittle splattering in all directions.…
