Denmark

Though we visited Denmark after Norway and Sweden, we actually spent time there in a layover, though it was an insignificant amount of time.

Czech Republic

This is one of the unfinished countries. What I mean by this is we only scratched the surface, having visited the Czech Republic for a grand total of around 10 hours. Those were some productive hours though. The first time we visited the Czech Republic was on our train ride
