Den Zesden Augustus 1881 Vertrokken Wij Met De Transatlantische Boot _Lafayette_ Uit Saint-Nazaire En Kwamen Omstreeks Veertien Dagen Later Te La Guaira, De Haven Van Caracas, Die Ten Gevolge Van De Hevige Branding Dikwijls Zeer Moeilijk Te Bereiken Is. La Guaira, Amphitheatersgewijze Tegen De Berghellingen Gebouwd, Is Eene Zeer Schilderachtige Stad Met Smalle Onregelmatige Straten, Die Slecht Zijn Geplaveid En Door Lage Huizen Omzoomd. De Roode Pannen Der Bijna Platte Uitstekende Daken, De Blauwe Of Groene Tralies Voor De Vensters, De Wit Of Geel Gepleisterde Muren Brengen Toon En Kleur In De Donkere Massa Van De In Schaduw Gedompelde Straten. Een Bergstroom, Waarover Zonderlinge Bruggen Zijn Geslagen, Loopt Midden Door De Stad. Aan De Zeezijde Wordt La Guaira Door Wallen Verdedigd; Voorts Heeft Men Nog Een Fort, Op Een Heuvel Gebouwd, Dat De Stad Bestrijkt. Het Volgende Station Is Puerto-Cabello, Aldus Genoemd Omdat, Zoo Als Men Beweert, Een Schip Zich Daar Met Een Haar Zou Kunnen Vastmeeren. Zooveel Is Zeker, Dat De Haven Volkomen Veilig En Tegen Alle Winden Gedekt Is. De Straten Zijn Hier Breeder En Regelmatiger Dan Te La Guaira. Wij Maken Eene Wandeling Door Een Soort Van Park, Waarvan Het Onderhoud Veel Te Wenschen Overlaat. Den Zes-En-Twintigsten Augustus Komen Wij Eindelijk Op De Reede Van Savanilla, En Zien Vergeefs Uit Naar Eene Veilige Haven. Weldra Steekt Eene Kleine Stoomboot Van Wal En Komt Naast Ons Liggen Om De Reizigers En De Goederen Over Te Nemen. Onze Bagage Is Niet Zwaar Of Omvangrijk: Nauwelijks Weegt Zij Voor Ons Vieren Driehonderd Pond. Zij Wordt In De Boot Overgeladen, En Na Afscheid Genomen Te Hebben Van Onze Medereizigers, Dalen Wij Ook Zelven In De Boot Af. De Stoomfluit Gilt: Wij Stoomen Naar Den Columbiaanschen Oever. [more]

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor Will Go Down In History As One Of The Most Famous And Beloved Queens. That Has Ever Walked On The Face Of The Planet Earth. Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states, known as the Commonwealth realms, and their territories and dependencies, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. She is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and, in some of her realms, carries the title of Defender of the Faith as part of her full title. On her accession on 6 February 1952, Elizabeth became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon. From 1956 to 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became republics. At present, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. Her reign of 61 years is currently the second longest for a British monarch; only Queen Victoria, her great-great grandmother, has reigned longer, at over 63 years. Elizabeth was born in London and educated privately at home. Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII, from which time she was the heir presumptive. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. In 1947, she married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, with whom she has four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. Her coronation service took place in 1953 and was the first to be televised. Elizabeth II's many historic visits and meetings include a state visit to the Republic of Ireland and reciprocal visits to and from the Pope. Elizabeth has seen major constitutional changes in her realms, such as devolution in the United Kingdom and the patriation of the Canadian constitution. Times of personal significance have included the births and marriages of her children, the births of her grandchildren, the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and the celebration of milestones such as her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees in 1977, 2002, and 2012, respectively. Major events in Elizabeth's reign have included the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Falklands War, and wars with Iraq and in Afghanistan. There have been times of personal sorrow for her which include the death of her father at 56, the assassination of Prince Philip's uncle, Lord Mountbatten, the breakdown of her children's marriages in 1992 (a year deemed her annus horribilis), the death in 1997 of her son's former wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, and the deaths of her mother and sister in 2002.
