Another top-notch city with lots to see and do. I really want to come back here again some other time, as with Copenhagen.
Boats lined up at the marina. There are lots of islands in the archipelago just outside of Stockholm you can sail to.
Royal Palace - where the King and Queen of Sweden receives visitors.
Colourful old houses in the Gamla Stan (Old town)
A viking ship - the ultimate souvenir. If not for space constraints in my rucksack, i would have bought this!
Full moon in Stockholm. Notice how beautiful those big yellow cranes look in the moonlight! :-)
Another day, another cruise. This one took me all the way to Helsinki, Finland. These overnight cruises are popular with locals (Swedes and Finns) as cheap weekend getaways. Think huge floating casinos, bars, and duty-free shops with aisles chocked full of duty-free alcohol, cigarettes, perfumes and cosmetics. It is all designed to make you Spend! Spend! Spend! Resistance is futile.
