Berlin / Sachsenhausen

A quick trip to Berlin, Germany for the last of the money we won back in 2019. Pandemic prevented us from going on any trip at all. But finally, last money spent and we ended up in Berlin. Spent most of the days looking at things about WW2 and the Holocaust. Took the train to Oranienburg to see the Saschenhausen concentration camp. Over all, Berlin is a very nice city.

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.)
