Dateline: 08:35 07 Sep 1996
Location: Stockholm-Helsinki, m/s Isabella


The end is nigh!  25 minutes until we dock in Helsinki and passengers start spurting out.  Of course, odds are that the friendly people at Customs will pick on me again, but no matter.  And right now, I am nearly entirely glad that this is over: vacationing is a hard job and too much of it leads to nervous breakdown.  Yet it has been a memorable trip: not in this lifetime shall I forget places like Skocjan.  Even this, essentially a cursory examination, has convinced me that there are many places -- Amsterdam, Wien, Kobenhavn, Praha and above all Slovenia -- that are worth a closer look.

But the ship is docking now and I must go.  'Till we meet again!
