Sadly, been, gone and now back :(

Loved middle Dalmatia, though, first time there for me, as have been to Istria and Dubrovnik / Korcula previously. 4 nights in Sibenik, 4 in Trogir, 3 in Zadar - which gave me plenty of travel options. A day in Split, a day on Bra&#269; island, stunning Krka national park, etc. Visited three of Croatia's seven UNESCO heritage sites, too, which were all breathtaking. Bloody marvellous. My Merrell walking boots took a bit of a pasting, though! <laugh>
 
Speaking of travel though, has anyone got any experiences of Scandinavia to share? I'm planning a trip this summer which will probably take me through Talinn, Helsinki, Stockholm, Malmö and Copenhagen. Not an area of the world I've ever visited before, so any advice would be much appreciated.

As reported on another thread DH, just returned from Copenhagen and thoroughly recommend it (as would RBF)
Clean, tasteful and the people are lovely but take plenty of cash as things are pretty expensive! Pint of lager £8, burger £17 and a small bottle of water £2 odd but if you can swallow that it is a wonderful experience. Tivoli is a must as is a walk up the coast past the Little Mermaid as there are lots of things to see just off that stretch like the Royal Palace (we saw the changing of the guard) and the wonderful churches and Castle. Christianborg (the Parliament building) is worth exploring and the door is open most of the time, finally, the Botanical Gardens are good if you are into plants and stuff and it is free (which you will appreciate) - hope this helps!
 
That's Plitvice, which was too far from me on public transport.
Generally regarded as the 'next best thing' is Krka national park, near &#352;ibenik, which is similar - but minus most of the crowds <ok>
