If I could walk one week, why not six? If I could walk to London, why not to Paris, to the Alps, to Jerusalem..I would show with money and a pair of strong boots you can get to Rome. Good-bye, all ye vampires of modern travel. Good-bye, insistent cab-men, and tip-loving porters. Good-bye, mis-directed luggage and dusty railway carriages.. Good-bye, trains - punctual and unpunctual, I am your slave no longer. I am free. I am FREE. . A.N. Cooper
