The fancy pictures are from the building royalty lived in until 1918. There where a lot of adults riding their bikes around town.

In Norway, instead of getting a dog park you get a downhill skiing jump park.

First picture is the castle of Edinburgh and I would have pictures of the inside if the tickets where not sold out. Edinburgh is a dreary city, it feels like it was built before the advent of colors.

I feel like this cruise has been more of a cruise and hike than a cruise and relax.
TravelerSounds perfect. The hiking should make the food taste better.

TravelerI’m thinking that a lack of trees has been a theme with much of your recent traveling. So now you need to go to Madagascar to check out the baobabs.

I am starting to think the best way to see Iceland is on a land tour. The cruise had an extra two sea days because of bad weather.

What an interesting city. The whole city feels like anything goes except for cars. I recommend visiting Amsterdam.

Three lanes for pedestrians, one lane for public transportation, one lane for cars and one lane for bicycles and very few cars on the one lane.Read more

Monkey Puzzle tree, 200 million species that developed its strange leaves to keep dinosaurs from eating it.
The picture with the white house is one of the BEST looking houses in Edinburgh. The other 99 percent of the houses look like the gray house next to the white house in the picture.

Turns out Lyn Hagg really missed out with his church. There is a rock climbing gym in an old church in Edinburgh.Read more

Got to see where they do the laundry, cook the food and behind the main stage. Sadly no engine room tour.
They have a machine to fold all the sheets.
