20. 08. 1999 San Sebastian (SPAIN)
Amano. 23 year old Japanese who went to Bilbao vacation before going to study architecture in Moscow. Had lost and we helped a new adventure companion to Spanish stage!
In this quiet Basque town there are posters and stickers everywhere against Spain and the Basque pro-independence! I like being in a Belfast Latin ... These Spaniards are very nationalistic, few speak English, perhaps because they are committed to studying the Basque is difficult? Who knows!
How strange to be sitting on this beach after a month of summer rain, wind, fog and cold!
[Paul from Vercelli, Italy]: The Inter Rail you tiring body, you free your mind, you smoked the lungs and liver survives only those steel. The Inter Rail you live in, the journey take him with you, your backpack is your home, your way tomorrow.
All men die, not all men truly live.
21. 08. 1999 Monaco (Principality of MONACO)
Takx He's set for casinos ... Thus we have a goal to be VIP to see if we can satisfy this desire ... Already we have anticipated that one must have to play 21 years (and we do not have them!)
Wandering notice that Monaco is a city out of town, is a concentrate of all the rich men of France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany. And 'super mundane, just in front of me were dozens of moored yachts super luxurious, more expensive machines everywhere: Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini ... There is so much advertising in Formula One, do not forget that here we run a leg of the Grand Prix ...
Takx back defeated. Here they do not play. Let in Nice, France, tell us that there are different rules ...
22. 08. 1999 Nice (FRANCE)
We are facing the casino "Ruhl. Takx decided to play for 100,000 pounds (50 euros), about three points, "or go 'or nothing!"
[Takx]: Do not go. But the money still here are safe. Did not go because we had to wait until late evening (open late here) and then entering only cost so much ... Patience ... It 'was the fate ...
Finally he returns home. I say finally because yesterday as I turned the streets of Monte Carlo I saw a beautiful free-range chicken, juicy and inviting in the rotisserie and I've got homesick ... As I write we arrived here in the Italian territory and our inter-rail ticket is no longer valid. If you will discover a beautiful fine, but sometimes we "c'arrangiamo, right Mark?
Now I begin to understand the wandering adventurers, the homeless who obtain food every day and never know what will happen the next day or where they are.
While returning home tired, dirty, thin and hungry after this trip, I can say I enjoyed it!
Takx I left an hour ago and I am continuing to Trento to Bolzano. I go to my parents who are on the border with Austria.
After 29 hours of train, twenty minutes riabbraccerò them after all this time ... It returns to normal but it is not the same thing!
