What are you top experiences travelling in Europe?

Grabbing them at random from the top of my mind, and for different reasons,
in no particular order. . .

Although Germany and Austria are my favorite places to vist, for one-trip
experiences:

Orkney with my very own archaeologist guide and no group to leave me
behind.

A bit of England and Wales hunting castles and even older sites with two
friends was also the most sheer fun.

A saga-emphasis group trip to Iceland with one of my all- time
single-moment high points: Thingvellir all to myself when cold rainy wind
had driven the rest of the group back to the bus.

Sunnier places don't rate?

Other group members don't flee to the bus as quickly on sunny days, of
which we had many. It was May in Iceland, however. Nevertheless, it was
mostly warmer than early May in Orkney. Cold doesn't bother me much, but
heat wipes me out quickly.

You can always put on more clothes.

I like the cool overcastness of the British Isles.

Which is a problem for me since I am also a fan of ancient Greek ruins,
and Greece is the antithesis of the British Isles.
