Look for discounts

From page 21
Senior travellers: In Europe,
with proper I.D., look for 50 per

- cent discounts on rail travel out of

France. The card may be obtained
in any French railroad station and
is called the Carte Vermeil. In con-
junction with this is a RailEurope
program good for 18 countries, ei-
ther first or second-class rail fares
reduced by 50 per cent (30 per cent
in some of the Iron Curtain coun-
tries such as Hungary).

Eurail passes are still an ex-
cellent buy, but the .traveller is
limited by the travel dates on the
pass. The Carte Vermeil and the
RailEurope reductions allow for
sporadic and spur-of-the-moment
journeys at half price.

Here’s one I'd never heard of
but it might be one of those island
get-aways that come to mind after
a lousy week at the office.

I might be way off base, but I
got the feeling that Vachon Island
might be where many of the flower
children of the "60s decided to ride
out the storm of approaching
middle-age on herb and goat
farms.

Anyway, you can get there by
taking the Fauntleroy ferry from
West Seattle. It’s a 15-minute boat
ride — take your car as the island
is 15 miles long and between one
and seven miles wide.

I learned about Vachon from
one of the operators of a stall in
the Pike Place market in Seattle.

The Country Store and Farm
sells an interesting array of herbs
and herbal vinegars.

Vachon is hardly a tourist trap
— there aren’t any hotels, but
guests are welcomed at any
number of Bed and Breakfast
homes.

Here are four of the listings 1
located: Beach Cottage B&B, (206)
567-4689; Purple Finch Haven,
(206) 463-5631; Smyth House,
(206) 567-4049; Swallow’s Nest,
(206) 463-2646.

Ali can be reached by mail by
simply writing Vachon Island,
WA, 98070 or you can get more
information by phoning the
Business Association at (206) 567-
4179 (P.O. Box i035, Vachon
98070).

Washington State Ferries infor-
mation can be obtained by dialing
(206) 464-6400.

Why are these intrepid Canadians
smiling?

ts it because they've made it to
China, or is it because they're into
something other travellers aren't?

Maybe it's both. Ah, fo be on the
Great Wall — and to be wearing
Tilleys!

Even ( can't be sure how many
hidden Tilley security pockets and
secret pockets there are in this
photo. But the washing instructions
are "Give ‘em hell!”
