MUM's MEMORIES: One day in early 2008, on the phone between Scarborough and New Jersey, mum reminisced about her Trip to Europe April-September 1937

Ida and her dad Romulo left Montevideo in April 1937 on the Oceania. The were member of a party of 10 (Ida, Romulo, Mrs & Ms Vidal from Uruguay and a family of 6 from Mendoza, Argentina, organised by an Argentine with a Jewish surname who also accompanied them.

At every port the ship remained for a whole day for them to visit the place. In Brazil they visited Santos, Sao Paulo, Rio, Bahia, Recife, then to Gibraltar, Argel and Naples their European port of arrival. Then stayed on land for a while.

In Naples they rode on 'volatas'. From Naples they visited Hercolaneum and Pompeii. In Pompeii because she was a woman and young she was not allowed to enter certain sites that depicted brothels (?). She decided to stay in the car at Vesuvius – young as she was she was wearing extremely high heels that were killing her feet and could no longer walk that day. So Romulo went up by himself and brought back as souvenir a piece of lava stone with a coin embossed in it. The trip through Italy was made on an electrical train. They then travelled to Florence, Rome, Venice, Milan, Genoa, Torino. At the Vatican they visited the Gold treasures of the Vatican, a sight that ignited fury in Romulo and disgust at the richness of the Church! Romulo was a very social minded person and could not conceive the idea of a Church being so rich, richnesses which has mostly come from poor people's donations, many of these in our poor Latin America.

On to France, Marseille first, then Paris. They had to weeks for this stretch, so Ida suggested to Romulo that they travel to London and he thought this was a good idea. They flew to London, Ida's first time on an airplane! In England they visited Strattford-on-Avon, Shakespeare's home town. They returned to Paris, then on to Brussels, Cologne, Frankfurt am Main and Berlin. Nono Romulo became ill in Berlin, something he had eaten, so they did not see much of Berlin, however, Ida thourgh Berlin was very beautiful, at least the bit she did get to see. Still in Germany they travelled to Munich, and then to Vienna. From Vienna they took a small shop on the Donau and travelled to Budapest. This was her favourite city, Buda and Pest divided by the river. I told Ida how Laila had also loved this city when she recently visited on work. Last stop to Trieste where they boarded the ship back to South America.

Spain was still in Civil War so they missed out on this country, so she caught up with this wish after Bautista, her beloved hubby, passed away in 1974.
