View Full Version : Vacation trips you been wanting to take..
I thought it would be cool to make such a thread on good vacation ideas and places to see in Europe (and elsewhere) when i saw an article (http://www.bt.no/reise/Reise-mot-soloppgangen-2786205.html) on the Trans-sibirian railway in my local news paper just now..
So here are some of the places and things ive been wanting to do and might do in the coming years:
- Trans-Siberian railway in Russia (Great and legendary journey along a railway filled with so much history).

- Gudvangen Viking Festival Norway(village (http://vikingvalley.no/wb/pages/home.php?lang=EN), where most of my rural roots are from).

- Faeroe Isles and Iceland (both siblings sort of speak of my own culture and history).

My dream is to visit Stonehenge and many other Standing stones around Europe and especially those in the UK and Ireland. I feel so connected to such places.
^ Would be great if you guys could post some specific places and things happening in these countries with pictures also?

Orkney & Shetland. Would like to see Canada.
Orkney has more neolithic ruins than anywhere else. Much more than Stonehenge.
Skara brea is in Orkney last time i checked?

First of all I would like to visit Wroclaw in Poland. This is where my grandmother was born, and where my family comes from.

Yeah. I made a thread on it all here.. Heart of Neolithic Orkney (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9697&highlight=orkney)
Same with Jarlshof in Shetland, like Skara Brae but with Viking Norse homes also.
It contains remains dating from 2500 BC up to the 17th century AD.
