THE FOUR CORNERS OF EUROPE
Barry and Margaret Williamson
February 2008
Once upon a time, we planned to visit the four corners of Europe in one journey. We did make it from the bottom (Punta de Tarifa) to the top (NordKapp), including what was then the Easternmost Point of the EU in Finland, all in one journey via Layoune in the Western Sahara. We have also been to others (*), but not all of them. Not Yet.
What's your score?
