The Spectacular Scandinavia Tour, June 24 - July 5, 2004, is now complete. Enjoy the picture journey and the WOW experience of tour members.

Denmark's capitol city - Copenhagen

Beautiful decor and lovely plantings - Tivoli Gardens, first evening dining and after dinner walk

Waterfront streets and...

Soren Kierkegaard,
Copenhagen thinker, philospher.

harbor - surrounded by industry and the quiet of the Hans Christian Anderson's "Little Mermaid."

Outside of Copenhagen in the state of North Zealand, is open countryside and this old castle, still the site of summer Shakespeare drama.

Norway, known for its many mountains, lakes and valleys.

Bergen, "Gateway to the Fjords", on rainy west coast; Norway's first capital is surrounded by seven mountains.

This is "Norway in a Nutshell"

Rail ride to Myrdal

with tremendous waterfalls and deep, deep valleys.

then... the 12 mile journey down a 3,000 ft descent on the Flam Railway and cruise on the Aurland and Naeroy Fjords.

This is "Norway in a Nutshell"

Another glacier visit...

Up, up, up the hill
on horse drawn
carriage to the

edge of Briksdal Glacier

...beautiful group in a beautiful setting. Time for some group fun, camaraderie, and worship.

what fun exploring new foods - have you ever heard the Scandinavian word, "smorgasboard"?

Small but well kept farms. Farming is heavily subsidized in Scandinavia. Our mid-day waffle "snack" in an old barn, was wonderful!

Another fjord cruise...

on the lake, past waterfalls...

and a view of the little towns at lakes-end

Enroute to Oslo, the capitol -

a visit to the 1994 Winter Olympic Ski Site in Lillehammer

Oslo, half million population in the center for education, culture and government.

Stockholm, Seden

A center for Viking study and museums

City Hall where the Nobel Laureates are honored in the Blue Room.

A beautiful city for walking, for artist and performers and shops and eateries.

To these hospitable Scandinavian countries - Denmark, Norway and Sweden - and to the legendary troll and robust Viking, we say "takk" - Thank you, but more than that we say "tuss and takk" or 1,000 thanks.

This was a journey worth remembering!
