I am from Denmark, the country from where the charter tourism started. The Danes sailed to Ireland, England and many other countries to visit. Peaceful as they were, they only defended themselves when being attacked.
Now I live in a country far more south, with a lot of mountains, but also here are traces of the early Norse. In a chapel at the Wierwaldstettersee there is an inscription in runes, and the Norse were of course also life guards in Constantinople, which can be seen there.
