Last weekend we returned from our summer travels in Europe, and once again it was a great time checking out some new places for us.
The way this trip came together was that we wanted to visit some of the southeastern European countries we hadn’t been able to visit during COVID, especially to see Sofia, Bulgaria. Kuniko had a student working at a ballet in Romania, and we both wanted to see what Serbia was like.
Because of the rising temperatures in both Japan and Europe in the summer time, we thought the second part of the trip should be a visit to Norway and Sweden. We had really enjoyed summer in Finland before, and I have really wanted to see the fjords of Norway at some point.
So we figured out the logistics and pulled off the trip. It went very smoothly, involving airplanes, buses, a boat, and lots of trains..
As usual I took lots of pictures (that are still being sorted) and wrote in a journal as we went. You’ll find the descriptions of our trip below, from the oldest at the bottom of the page up to the latest posts at the top. Enjoy reading!
