a Dream Come True!

with Women of Nebraska!

June 14-26, 2021WO M E N O F N E B R A S K AT r a v e l S o l o T o g e t h e r

Dear Women of Nebraska,There are many ways to see Scandinavia; by train, cruising, driving ... Our tour is an awesome combination of it all, so if Scandinavia is on your bucket list, then spoil yourself and join me on this once-in-a-lifetime journey to the Lands of the Midnight Sun. Let’s experience the exhilarating landscapes of Norway, quaint Copenhagen, and stunning Stockholm together. Rough and rocky coastlines are dotted with cosmopolitan cities showcasing the famous Scandinavian design, tucked between medieval houses and vibrant colored wooden homes. These countries near the top of the world pride themselves in being some of the world’s most civilized, educated and tolerant societies.Norway - vast and wild. Homes to dazzling deep blue to emerald green fjords, snow-dusted alpine peaks, grinding glaciers and crashing waterfalls ...it is a kaleidoscope of nature at its very best. This country is a number-one attraction and top many bucket lists. Denmark - the smallest in the Nordic family and with a millennium of history. The past is stone age to Bronze age mysteries. The now is a wealth of vibrant cutting-edge designs and architecture, a cheerful open-minded attitude to life, topping the world’s list as the happiest and most habitable nation. Hans Christian Andersen, the world-famous fairy tale writer, is etched in every corner, cozy cafes and bicycles, home of Lego and Tivoli … The special feeling the Danes call “hygge” will capture you immediately!Sweden - wholesome and healthy. A unique blend of ultra-modern style, built on a group of 14 Islands, Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, is a spectacular city and one of northern Europe’s oldest recorded towns. Compact and laced together with 57 bridges, the city is a mosaic of unique areas each with its own character. A Royal palace, paper-thin cobble-stoned streets in a 13th-century medieval Old-Town, museums, posh shopping boulevards, gourmet markets, bohemian boutiques and outdoor cafés galore all set against the backdrop of a glittering blue Lake Mälaren meeting the Baltic Sea.If all this sounds as exciting to you as it does to me, then come join me on this Scandinavian Midsummer fairy tale adventure.

Sincerely,Sally DunhamWomen of Nebraska Ambassador

June 15, 2021Tuesday - OsloWelcome to Norway! Oslo is the capital of Norway, the “Viking Capital”, founded in 1040. With its location by the Oslo Fjord, it is home to many fascinating museums and beautiful green parks full of sculptures. In the very city center, you will find the majestic Karl Johan pedestrian street and the impressive opera house. Upon arrival at Oslo airport, we meet with our local tour guide and driver. We take a short drive outside Oslo to visit Hadeland Glassverk, the oldest glasswork-company in Norway, founded in 1762 and still in operation. We then arrive in the center of Oslo for an orientation tour where you get to admire the Royal Palace, the National Theater, the Parliament, the Opera House by the waterfront, and the medieval Akerhus Fortress.
