GOOD video's from start to finish brought back so many good memories ! You mentioned Norway definitely go there . We traveled from Scotland. Newcastle ferry to Amsterdam through Germany,Denmark,Sweeden,Finland up to Knordkapp and down west coast of Norway just as beautiful as Scotland but on a far BIGGER scale.
