unexpected semicolon or newline before else even though there is neither before else if

Question

I\'m trying to fix these errors in my golang code and if someone could help me with that, I\'d appreciate it.

Here is my code: http://play.golang.org/p/yELWfIdWz5

https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#if

You can find the explanation here, but I find it to be a bit bikeshedding. For example, this, unintuitive as it is, compiles:

    if your_age >= 16 {
    say("\n You can earn a Drivers License."); } else
    if your_age >= 18 { say("\n You can vote."); } else
    { say("\n You can have fun."); }
