Watching the &quot;midnight sun&quot; touch the water, move slightly across the top of it, then start back up again from the back of the Hurtigruten mail boat.<BR><BR>Eating hot waffles next to any fjord in Norway.<BR><BR>Drinking beer on a floating barge bar in Oslo and walking around enjoying the incredible pary atmosphere in the streets every night.<BR><BR>Sorry all three ended up being in Norway, I just liked it even better than Sweden, Finland, and Denmark even though I enjoyed those as well.

The Fjords, with or without waffles.<BR><BR>The walled village of Visby on Gotland Island (and the rest of the Island too).<BR><BR>Tie: Ribe (including the Viking Village) and the Vasa Museum in Stockholm (utterly amazing).<BR><BR>Hard to leave out Bergen; The Ales Stenar (Ale Stones) at Kaseberga (not just the stones, but also the awsome views of the Baltic Sea from the bluff); the 16th Century farmstead at Roisheim; the beautiful, peaceful Island of Aero (bike the Island and buy farm produce, home-made preserves and lace at unattended stands in front of the farms). There are many more. What a wonderful part of the World.
