"A Tramp Abroad — Volume 05" by Mark Twain is a humorous travel story from the 1800s, recounting the adventures of the author and his friend Harris as they explore Europe, especially the Alps and Switzerland. The story kicks off with a funny, messed-up morning where the two travelers aim to catch the alpine sunrise at Rigi-Kulm but point themselves in the wrong direction. The rest of the story continues that tone, combining funny tales and vivid descriptions of their surroundings, the people they meet, and the unique things about European culture. It shows how travel can be unexpected and how people can bond, even when things go wrong.
