St George's Kirche

Another bombed out church. The Brits destroyed this one two weeks before the end of WWII and it was just rebuilt in 2005 for the cost of 40€ million. Originally built in the thirteenth century and aЧитать далее
Dayton airport.

Getting ready for the big adventure. Plane leaves at 1:25 so that gives us time to hit Max & Erma's for a beer! Or two...
Amsterdam

Well, our plane from Minneapolis was two hours late due to running out of fuel before takeoff followed by a complete system failure. As a result, we missed the only flight to Bergen, Norway and can'tЧитать далее
De Bekeerde Suster

Stopped for a bite and some micro brew tasting after a canal tour.
Bergen, NO

Pictures from our day in Bergen, Norway. The town that Frozen was based on and the old capital city of Norway. Here is a sculpture that shows Norway's history in for scenes.
Bergen, Norway waterfront

Here is a view of the harbor within the fjord thaw Bergen sits on and some of the seafood we had there. The mystery meat floating in the red sauce is whale!

Riddarholmen Kirke, Stockholm

A church originally built in the 1300s by the Franciscan Order and later modified by Reformists until it no longer resembles what it once was. The asymmetry is very unusual. There is a lot of deadЧитать далее

St Geoege Kirche

Rebuilt in 2005 after being destroyed by the Brits two weeks before the end of WWII. The George and Dragon scene are from the handles to the front door.
Wismar fish market

Lots of vendors with all kinds of fish. Had to try the salted herring and onion sandwich...mmmmmmmm. Seriously, it's a lot better than it looks!
Last beer before departure

Stopped at the last remaining brew house in Wismar for some beer and snacks before heading out. Wismar used to house over 150 breweries due to their proximity to the seaport and ease of facilitatingЧитать далее
