"If you're looking for ideas, or planning a bucket-list adventure,
you'll find page after page of sepia-tinted inspiration in the
revised edition of teNeues' Nostalgic Journeys." - Irish
Independent The seaside or the mountains? Today's most important
vacation planning question never came up in days long past. Both
seemed unappealing and nearly inaccessible. It wasn't until the
invention of the railroad that previously sparsely visited and
overlooked areas opened up, and Thomas Cook, the tour operator and
founder of modern tourism, was born. Fishing villages became
sophisticated seaside resorts, remote mountain areas became
destinations for hiking and skiing enthusiasts, and inns became
grand hotels. Nostalgic Journeys takes you on a journey back in
time, through the last two centuries: Ride the Orient Express to
the East, cross the Atlantic on huge ocean liners, travel Route 66
through the United States, and break the sound barrier aboard the
Concorde. As you browse through the pages of this book, you will
get the idea that travelling was, and can be, more than just being
stuck in a traffic jam or passing through numerous security checks.
It can be a stylish and sometimes adventurous way to explore the
world and return home feeling transformed by your many and varied
experiences. Bon Voyage! Text in English and German.
