Welcome at Ciska's Travel Corner
Hello everybody, on this page I'll show you all the places I've been already for vacation.
Scandinavia
Amsterdam canals in Legoland
Our vacation of 2003 went to the northern part of Europe, to Denmark, Sweden and Finland. We left on the 8th of July and first we went to
Legoland in Denmark. I really liked it very much, apart from the fact that they have there an awful lot of Lego, there is also an amusement
park. From Legoland we went to the town of Bogense on the island of Funen. One of the things we visited there was the Egeskov castle and what
I really liked there was the treetop walk. On a kind of suspension bridge you can walk through the tops of a number of trees. From Funen we
drove to Sweden over a very long bridge. We went to Stockholm and we visited the Skansen open air museum. I liked the animals they have there.
From Stockholm we took the ferry to Finland and we slept in a small cabin. The next day when we had arrived in Finland we drove to Helsinki.
In Helsinki we visited a number of sights, but what I liked was the Sibelius monument and the boat trip through the harbour of Helsinki.
On my mothers birthday we had a very nice dinner in a restaurant together with Heidi, a former colleague of my mother. I really liked Heidi and later
on I even sent here a postcard from Sweden.
Running across the arctic circle
Also in Finland we saw Aura, a friend of my mother from the time she stayed in the USA. She lives with her husband and children in Oulu in the
north of Finland. She just had a baby and it was nice that we visited them right now, as Aura had visited me in the hospital right after
I was born. They also have two dogs and I really liked Rossu. Also in Finland we went to the arctic circle to visit Santa Claus. In Finland I
also got addicted to the Moomins, an adventurous hippo family. Unfortunately they are not very well known in The Netherlands. Through Sweden
we went down again. We visited the Dalarna area were the famous red Dalahorses are made. I really love these horses and we visited a factory
in which they are made. All by hand. From there we went on to Copenhagen en there we saw the famous mermaid. I have also made some pictures
during this holiday and to see them,
