This is the narrowest stretch of the English Channel, from which British forces launched from Dover (bottom) to the French beaches of Calais with code names like Omaha and Juno on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day.

This looks almost like a stained glass window, but it's the view of fields and windmills on final approach to London's Gatwick airport. 😮✈️🇬🇧 #london #gatwick #traveljunkie #traveladdict #travelblogger #solotravel #wanderlust #disabledtravel #wheelchairtravel #accessibletravel #ms #multiplesclerosis #mswarrior #mswheelchairusa #nolimits (at Gatwick, Bromley, United Kingdom)

Riding metro trains in Europe has been a really mixed bag. Today I survived the #Oslo @Ruter T-Bane! Cars even w/ platform, 4" or less gap.

The “it’s totally accessible! There’s just a single step” is WAY more common than you would care to believe.

I survived the metro, the cold, and the damp this morning to get out to Vigeland Park and see the famous Norwegian sculptor's work.

Even though everything was closed because it was late on a Sunday night, I was luck enough to have a little bit of time to explore Bergen before taking the overnight train back to Oslo. ⛴🇳🇴 #Sognefjord #bergen #norway #fjordcruise #traveljunkie #traveladdict #travelblogger #solotravel #wanderlust #disabledtravel #accessibletravel #wheelchairtravel #wheelchairaccessible #ms #multiplesclerosis #mswarrior #mswheelchairusa #nolimits (at Bergen, Hordaland)

I was going to quit taking photos for the day because of the extremely low cloud cover and poor visibility, thanks to the hazy mist on the windows.
