Fort Lauderdale to London

Scotland

Around the Netherlands

Denmark

Norway

Germany

We docked at Kiel Germany and took a short trip to Schwerin.  A very nice, typical German city with a beautiful castle. 

Riga, Latvia

What a fun city to explore.  Beautiful art deco architecture along with very old construction and soviet era very plain apartments.

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn is a great example of a city rebuilding after many years behind the iron curtain. New modern buildings are going up near very old and well preserved examples of medieval architecture.  

Helsinki, Finland

Stockholm, Sweden

A beautiful, clean and friendly city.  We missed the Abba museum but thoroughly enjoyed the Vassa museum.  The ship sank on its maiden voyage while still in the harbor.  It was raised after a few hundred years and is over 90% intact.
