When Jules Verne published his popular book "Around the World in Eighty Days", the journey was still slow. A journey through the world in eighty days seemed impossible in the real world. On November 14, 1889, Nelly landed on the steamer Augusta Victoria, leaving Hoboken, New Jersey. The race on the clock began at 9:40 in the morning. She went to France, where she met Jules Verne. She learned that the young reporter was sent by the magazine and outstripped her. This did not stop Nellie. She moved to Hong Kong and Japan before crossing the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. Then Nelly traveled through the southern United States by train to New Jersey. Her amazing race made her a national heroine.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, located on the British Isles. The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh, famous for its castles. Glasgow is the industrial capital of Scotland. It is the third largest city in the UK. Golf is a Scottish national game and it originated in this country. And, of course, everyone knows about the Loch Ness monster. They say, "Nessie" has a length of about six meters and a long thin neck. Scotland is also a country of myths and mysteries; every castle has its own ghost.
