A Virtual Tour of Iceland, Stockholm and Copenhagen by Andy & Susanne Carvin |
|
In May 2004, we spent a week hop-scotching around Scandinavia, working our way through the capitals of Iceland, Sweden and Denmark. Along the way we saw Iceland's famous waterfalls and geysers; explored the islands of Stockholm and the archipelago; and strolled Copenhagen's famous pedestrian mall and the Tivoli amusement park. This website tries to capture some of our experience, in words and pictures. You can read the journal that Andy posted on his blog during the course of our trip, or you can visit galleries displaying hundreds of photos we took along the way. We hope you enjoy this virtual trip through Scandinavia!
