| Classification of the countries visited |
We decided to make a classification of the countries we visited according to a dozen of criteria. The quotations we gave are, of course, our own feeling but they can obviously vary form one person to the next. The quotation might also vary from one season to the next or may vary if we were living on land. Click on the countries to have more informations. |
