Europe in 18 Days was a trip
of a lifetime this summer for
JoAnn and Odus Smith and their
daughter, Teresa
The Smiths, who own and
operate Western Auto Store in
downtown Kings Mountain,
decided to visit their son and
daughter-in-law, Airman Greg
Smith and Dana, in Leiston,
England, as a vacation trip away
from the store. After looking at
numerous tours and talking with
friends who had been to Europe,
the Smiths decided to take an
18-day tour, which included
visits in Belgium, Holland, Ger-
many, Switzerland, Liechtens-
tein, Austria, Italy and France.
“We found the inexpensive
way to see all these countries
was to travel in most areas by
boat train and coach”, said Jo
Ann, who said that after flying
to England on June 24th to visit
with Greg and Dana, that Odus
Smith joined them on July 12th
for their tour of eight countries
before returning home.
Coach tours have become
more popular to the continent in
recent years and according to the
Kings Mountain Smiths it’s the
way to travel. The Smiths
brought back numerous rolls of
film from the areas they visited
and a few souvenirs, including a
leather pocketbook and per-
fumes for Jo Ann and a leather
jacket for Odus.
Teresa said that before her
Dad arrived to join the group she
and her mother and Greg and
Dana Smith saw the British idea
of an American Theme Park. “It
was different, but fun.”
Teresa said that their first. day
boat train from Dover to Vic-
toria Rail Station and crossing
the English Channel on a ferry
which took seven hours to reach
Vlissigen, Holland. They then
took a bus to Amsterdam and
spent the night in Hotel Ibis and
while in Amsterdam visited Van
Moppes, a diamond factory, and
saw the worlds’ smallest 58 facet
diamond with perfect cut. Later
they took a boat ride on the
Rondvaart and saw most of
Amsterdam and their large
seaports. Before leaving
Holland, they enjoyed shopping
in Volendam.
The afternoon drive through
Holland to Germany followed
‘the Rhine to Cologne. They
. visited the gothic cathedral
which was dedicated to the three
kings and the church was
dedicated to Mary and St. Peter.
They spent the night in Bonn,
the birthplace of Beethoven, in
Hotel Consul which was across
the street from Beethoven’s
home.
The third day of their trip
found them in Lucerne,

Day 8 found them crossing
the Apennines to reach Rome in
time to enjoy their first evening
in that great city. They visited
The Vatican, museums and saw
great paintings and sculptures by
Michaelangelo. They also visited
St. Peter’s Church, the largest
church in the world which took
120 years to build and stands
420 feet tall. They also dined at
Alfredo’s, Rome’s famous
restaurant where presidents, ac-
tors and actresses have dined
and spent two days in Rome
traveling north on day 11
through the Tuscan countryside
to Florence and visiting the ex-
traordinary Leaning Tower of
Pisa., which Teresa climbed to
the top, 294 steps. Each year it
leans one mm more and since it
has been built has leaned 29 in-
ches, says Teresa. They also
visited the Square of Miracles
before skirting the lovely Italian
Riviera and crossing into France
to reach Nice by way of Monte
Carlo, where they saw the
Palace of Princess Grace and
Prince Rainier and visited the
famous casinos. Teresa said the
family really enjoyed the 19th
century atmosphere of this
resort.
Teresa said the family swam in
the French Rivie Riveria and a
highlight of the trip for her
mother was visiting Grasse, the
perfume. capital of the world
where Jo Ann purchased her
favorite perfumes and from
there traveled to Lyon, the third
largest city in France for a night
stop.
On the 15th day of their trip
the Smiths headed north
through the neat vineyards and
fields of Burgundy to Beaune
and reached Paris in time to “go
on the town” in this Europe’s
sparkling . capital. They visited
Nortre Dame, the L’Arc de
Triomphe where the enteranal
flame of the Unknown Soldier
burns, the Eiffel Tower, Palace
Luxemborough and saw the
original Mona Lisa, and much,
much more. A real thrill for
Teresa was going to the top of
the Eifel Tower, during a two
day stay there. The many places
they saw in Paris brought back
many memories for Odus Smith
who was stationed in Europe
during his hitch with Uncle Sam.
The Smiths headed back to
England on a cross channel ferry
to Dover and then rode a con-
necting train to London, visiting
wth Greg and Dana Smith in
Leiston, England before return-
ing home.
Jo Ann said she highly recom-
mends that local citizens going
to Europe think about using a
similar tour which features lux-
ury coaches with professional
drivers and representatives of
the tour company on hand at all
times to see that you get on the
proper train, at all channel ports
and departure airports. “It’s a
