Some terrific stained glass art that I saw in various European cities. I enjoyed going to major museums, etc. where the long history and art of a place is showcased.
Frankly, I cannot just cycle through a foreign country, particularily countries that linguistically and culturally are different than home country (Canada) and ignore the cultural sites completely.
Whereas my dearie cycled through Sweden for 2 days and then 7 days longer in Denmark. Did not stop into any sites, churches, etc. I COULDN'T do that. He couldn't give me a proper explanation except vague comments about local architecture, on interesting cultural /unique stuff.
Otherwise what is the point? Otherwise the Danish, Swedish countryside,....ends up looking like a region of Canada.
