39 more photos just added tonight from today's sightseeing.

The weather was a bit cool and we had light rain off and on.
We went to Hovs Hallar in northerm Sweden near the coast for some of these pics and also visited a little town named Torekov where I found the architecture quite appealing.
We ended our day in Downtown Helsinborg where they were having the annual town outdoor festival.

I met this guy and his fiancé at Hovs Hallar here in Sweden near the bay and he has had his Crossfire now for a year.
It looks just like mine.
He had not heard of the club or the forum but I told him all about both sites and encouraged him to join

Maybe we would have preferred a picture of her, even you and her.

I am now in Cheltenham England.

Traveled here today from Sweden by ferry boat over to Denmark and then drove the coastal highway back to Copenhagen to get our flight to London.
Our friend picked us up at Heathrow airport and we then drove to Cheltenham were I will be for the next 4 days.
Internet at the hotel here is slow so pics may be only posted while we are at our friends house with better internet and free.
At the hotel it is 12 pounds a day (approx. $18)


Planning a meet up with Steve - UK at our hotel in London for dinner on Tuesday night at our final stop.

So for now.....CHEERS

Gary

If you have the time I would suggest a tour around London by bus when you get there. These tours last for two to four hours, This is a good way to see the main sites and you can always go back and visit something on your own.
The Tower of London and Tower Bridge is a good start, Whitehall, the Mall and Buckingham Palace is another little jaunt, they are close together. A trip up river is nice as well.
Whatever you do, you must have a pint of bitter. You can get all the other beers anywhere on earth, maybe start with a half pint, you may not like it.

We spent the day at Warwick Castle in Warwickshire England seeing outdoor shows and walking the entire castle inside and out...climbing over 500 stairs to see all the views as well.
I took some really good pics of a bald eagle in flight too
I hope you enjoy them...........

Well it's been a long 2 weeks away here in Europe.
I can actually say we are ready to come home from this trip.
I took 749 photos in all covering Sweden, Denmark and England.
Of course they are all linked throughout this thread and I'm sure most of you have been following along.
I'll be returning home tomorrow and look forward to a king size bed again and cheap American food too

Here is my last link with all my pics taken today in London.........Cheers, Gary

I forgot to say thanks for posting the pics. I was born in London and left 40 odd years ago.

Thanks for the photos, brings back memories of my travels through Northern Europe in the 80's, sadly cut short when the Chernobyl nuclear plant blew up and spread fallout over the area. If not for that, I still might be there

Gary, it is interesting that we are in the same place you were a couple of weeks ago...we arrived in Copenhagen Wed. August 29th and wil be back for three days after our baltic cruise so we will be seing some of the same siights...I tried to find out if there were any crossfire members in Denmark but couldn't find any...too bad....so far haven't come across any crossfires but we will still have a couple of weeks to keep our eyes open ...your thread and pics were helpful...thanks..I don't know if I can match your timing on getting pics on the forum, it always seems to be something that is nice to think about but harder to implement...talk to you agian on our travels
