Just before jumping on the plane and leaving yet another continent, there might be still time to list eight weird and wonderfull facts we discovered during our trip through Europe. 1. The famous Titanic was built in the Middle of Belfast, in Northern Ireland, which is also the place where the rubber tyre was invented. 2.
