For some unknown reason the purveyors of my employer's brand of "Bro Country" think it's wise for us to put on some concerts in northern Europe. As a result I get a day in Oslo, two days in Stockholm and two days in Dublin. I know we have members who can suggest some cool things to do there...how about it? I'd list the day in London but its going to be a nonstop work day at the O2 arena after a late arrival and we fly back to the US the next morning.



If you'r into history as I am.
In Oslo a trip to the Viking ship Museam on an island in Gslo harbour called "Brygdoynne" [wrong spelling]
is worth it.Say a prayer to Odin for me
In Stockholm a wander through the "Gamla Stan" [old town]
for a sandwich.
Dublin I don't know, but it's a history rich town, founded by the Vikings too I believe.



Ed, along the same lines as the Viking ship in Oslo that Paul just mentioned, there's the Vasa Warship museum in Stockholm. The Vasa was re-floated in 1961 and centuries after it capsized on its maiden voyage in the Stockholm harbor in 1628, and due to its top-heavy redesign mid-build which added another whole deck of cannons way above its waterline.

(...Thanassis and I had a fascinating time while there back in 2009, and when we did that almost two month ride through Europe)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
