Let's go on a world tour? Part 1

[Victoria_v]

I have not been in a world tour. But I have already visited many countries and if I add small trips together it  can be a world tour. Let's go on a virtual world tour together.

The Google Earth allows you to see places we have never been and may never be. But we see these places on photos! And it is very interesting.

Well, let's go on a trip? I will upload photos of the places I have visited and will build a world tour around them. All photos are made by me. If you have photos of cities that fall into this virtual route, join us!

The first part of the route is a cruise from Sydney to Singapore.

And the first city of our world tour is Sydney.

BALLADE OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS

Fair islands of the silver fleece,

Hoards of unsunned, uncounted gold,

Whose havens are the haunts of Peace,

Whose boys are in our quarrel bold;

OUR bolt is shot, our tale is told,

Our ship of state in storms may toss,

But ye are young if we are old,

Ye Islands of the Southern Cross!

Ay, WE must dwindle and decrease,

Such fates the ruthless years unfold;

And yet we shall not wholly cease,

We shall not perish unconsoled;

Nay, still shall Freedom keep her hold

Within the sea's inviolate fosse,

And boast her sons of English mould,

Ye Islands of the Southern Cross!

All empires tumble--Rome and Greece -

Their swords are rust, their altars cold!

For us, the Children of the Seas,

Who ruled where'er the waves have rolled,

For us, in Fortune's books enscrolled,

I read no runes of hopeless loss;

Nor--while YE last--our knell is tolled,

Ye Islands of the Southern Cross!

ENVOY.

Britannia, when thy hearth's a-cold,

When o'er thy grave has grown the moss,

Still Rule Australia shall be trolled

In Islands of the Southern Cross!

Hi, @helga19 !

Very glad that you went to the topic! Thanks to your stories, I celebrated New Year in Austria this year.

Que gran idea @Victoria_v , quiero ir contigo en esa gira mundial, así que cuando toques algún puerto que yo visite, te contaré cómo fue para mí ese lugar, gran viaje y muy divertido el proyecto.

Espero que sean varios los pasajeros de este gran viaje que inicias.

muchos saludos Farid

Thanks for sharing @Victoria_v. Your story and poem is very nice. I'm looking forward to seeing your future stories. I've been to 63 countries myself and look forward to doing much more.

Just remember that we are limited to 1000 photos on LG Connect. If you want to share photos, it is a good idea to put them on Google Photos and then share the link.

Thanks again. Are you Australian? I'm a Kiwi living in Prague.

@FaridTDF Thank you for your interest! If you were in some city that is not in my route, but it is near and it fits well in the route - join too. I invite to do so anyone who wants to share photos.

@TheEagleEye  Wow! 63 countries is cool! I hope in my route there will be cities that you have seen and you will want to share your photos.

Thanks for the warning about 1000 photos. I do not upload photos, but give links from my site where they are uploaded. No, I live in Russia. I have not been to New Zealand or Prague yet. But I hope to visit. Judging by the photos there are beautiful places.
