Tip:  Take a moment to read the History Lesson 1 & 2 tabs.  Both pages provide interesting background to the regions we’re visiting, including useful info on relatively recent events.

Remember:  Always click on the photos to view them in full size.  But don’t bother if you’re reading this on a phone!  In fact don’t even bother using a phone, it’s a pointless exercise IMHO.  Just get your butt in front of a decent PC monitor!
