"Is there anything, apart from a really good chocolate cream pie and receiving a large unexpected cheque in the post, to beat finding yourself at large in a foreign city on a fair spring evening, loafing along unfamiliar streets in the long shadows of a lazy sunset, pausing to gaze in shop windows or at some church or lovely square...I just love it. I could spend my life arriving each evening in a new city." — Bill Bryson (Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe)
