English, as on the record

SKIING ON TROODOS E. M. Yiaxis. "If Mount Olympus were on the European Continent, hundreds would climb to its summit in the course of the year. Alpine travellers alone can appreciate the enthusiasm that filled my heart as I inhaled deep draughts of ozone and gazed upon the scene beneath me." Franz von Löher - 1877 (Cyprus, Historical and Descriptive).
