Vienna

Maybe more Vienna than Austria. We arrived by boat from Bratislava. Met up with an old on-line friend of mine on the rainiest day ever. Also attended an opera concert. Had some sunnier days when we went to see Schloss Schönbrunn for example.

Pre 2000 / Other

My travel experience before 2000 (or other almost not notable event) I would say consist of travelling with my family (father, mother and brothers) and that would be the following destinations, in alphabetical order:

Austria On our way to Italy. Did stop for a while in Innsbruck I think.

Belgium Went there on family vacation, went to places like Gent and the castle Gravensteen, Brussels and caverns around Namur.

Denmark I think Legoland and Skagen was the main attractions in Denmark as a child. Also been a transit country on the way to the continent. A couple of trips with Stena Line from Gothenburg to Fredrikshavn also.

Finland A cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki, I think I spent about 2-3 hours in Helsinki before the cruise vessel departed again. At least I can say that I’ve been there.

France Paris of course, with the Louvre, Notre Dame, Sacré-Cœur, the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysés. Also went to a place called Berck and then also Bretagne. Also more to the east, area around Strasbourg.

Germany as a transit country. Although, I remember spending some time at a place called Heide Park (amusement park).

Italy I don’t remember the particular order, but Lake Garda, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Moneglia and Albenga being places we went to and stayed at.

Monaco A day trip from the campsite in Italy. Did see the casino and the marina.

Netherlands Amsterdam is what I can remember. Might have visited the place where Anne Frank hid. Probably went on a boat in the channels.

Norway At some point, does not remember much except for fjords and stave churches.

Åland A cruise from Stockholm to Åland. Hardly counts since I never went of the ship. I honestly don’t remember when but I think 2002.

Sweden Since it’s my country of residence and place of birth, we’ve been doing a fair bit of vacationing around in Sweden too. (Logs from Sweden are separated from the Europe tags.)
