When Jason Smart decides he wants to visit Western Europe, the main obstacle in his path is the number of countries it contains. From Scandinavia in the north to the sweltering Mediterranean nations of the south, Western Europe contains over twenty different countries, and so he realizes that the only way to see as many of them as possible is to hop, skip and jump between them. One day here, a couple of days there: rapid fire stays in one city after another. Along the way, Smart battles with a nun in the Vatican, gets lots in a tunnel in Luxembourg, is almost run over by a tram in Lisbon and meets Jesus in a Madrid hotel. He witnesses the wealth of Monaco, the mountainous beauty of Liechtenstein, the neon of Amsterdam's red light district and the place witches once gathered in Stockholm. Rapid Fire Europe is a travelogue through twenty two of the most beautiful cities in Western Europe. Jason Smart is a published author of seven other travel books. He has also published travel articles in print and internet-based magazines. Find out more at his website www.theredquest.com.
