Scandinavian Tour: July 2007
http://dick-scandinavia.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. Orebro, Stockholm and Upsalla, oh my! The guide books say that Orebro is a picture postcard city. I can see why, with a castle on an island in the middle of a river. Then there's the really big town park, filled with grass, trees and flowers. After that, there isn't too much to talk about, though. On that subject, I've stopped condemning myself for not knowing the languages. I do have a little bit of condemnation for the US as a whole for not encouraging more foreign language i...

Scandinavian Tour: September 2007
http://dick-scandinavia.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 5, 2007. Home Again, and the Final Wrap-Up. Home again, and I have to admit, I’m happy to be here. I did arrive home safe and sound several days ago, September 1st. The house was intact. A fair number of weeds had built a barrier around the place. I guess in my absence, they felt the place needed their protection. Thanks, but no thanks. This one wasn’t one that had been rebuilt to look like the original. It had been left to the mercy of wind and rain, and looked the part...The isl...

Scandinavian Tour: August 2007

Thursday, August 30, 2007. Random Photss from the Trip. Here´s one of the Church ships I´ve mentioned. Helsingor Castle, or Hamlet´s Elsinore. Posted by Dick Cavanaugh. And nearly last, but not Least, Spelunking. The next day, Tuesday, was the boat trip. Pepe mentioned a cueva. Cave) that we could enter. I anticipated pulling up on the beach and looking into the mouth of a small depression in the cliff. Wrong! 180;t huge, an outboard that held three adults and three kyds. Turns out this was a true cueva.

Scandinavian Tour: Menorca, what a fine way to end a trip
http://dick-scandinavia.blogspot.com/2007/08/menorca-what-fine-way-to-end-trip.html
Saturday, August 25, 2007. Menorca, what a fine way to end a trip. Well here I am, the last stop of the trip. And did I ever arrive at the right time! But you´ll have to skip down a few paragraphs to find out why. Or read all the way through. I won´t bore you with the names of the places I visited. Suffice to say that there is enough in Madrid to keep you busy all day long for several days. And I could have easily spent several more there and gone into the city in a little more depth. Within an hour or s...

Scandinavian Tour: June 2007
http://dick-scandinavia.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 30, 2007. What in the world is a Hurtigruten. Well, the last time I wrote, I think I said I was having reservation troubles. I did have a reservation in Honingsvag, gateway to Nordkap. But they only had a room free for the nite I arrived. It seems all hotels, both of them, were full. I did investigate a room in a pseudo-boarding house dorm, but decided against it. More on that later. So the next few days will be a cruising among the fjords holiday for me. Ill see a lot, as I’m st...I did g...
