Travel (3/4)  European Trips
 
 
(15:57:30 UTC)



Since retiring, we've made some trips to Europe. We've been to Finland three times to visit our friend Veli-Veikko. We had a Christmas vacation with VV in Tenerife when we retired. We went to Rome to a Steven Mead concert. We went to Normandy to run in the D-Day Marathon.

I've spent a lot of my life on the continent of Europe. I worked for a Finnish company for seven years and at AGFA in Belgium for three years. We've had vacations in France and Spain. As a student, I spent three months in both Australia and Denmark.

When we retired, we extensively remodelled and renovated our house. That project limited our ability to travel, and the covid years of 2020-2022 restricted our travels to the United Kingdom.

Our first travel plan in retirement was to visit many places in the UK. I'm pleased to report that we've travelled the South Coast to the North Coast and Wales to East Anglia. Our journeys on PS Waverley have enabled us to visit the coastline in many parts of the British Isles. We know our motherland well.

In the same style as our train and road trips in the States, we have plans to tour Scandinavia, Iberia, and Eastern Europe. These trips will take us to 20 European countries, bringing our global country count to more than 30.
