(2018) Baltic Countries

 

Up Photo Album Diary

 

In May 2018, we will join sister [Ann] and Noel for a trip to Baltic countries. Our trip starts with our flight from Brisbane to Copenhagen [Denmark] where we will meet up with Ann and Noel after their trip to Morocco, Portugal, Spain and other Mediterranean countries.

We'll spend the first week with a hire car in Denmark, followed by a cruise of 11 nights, Scandinavia and Russia [from Copenhagen].

We return to Copenhagen where we will again collect our hire car to spend 3 weeks travelling in Sweden and [mostly] Norway before returning to Copenhagen for the long flight home
