A quick look at Stockholm ~~~


These stops along the Baltic Sea have been fabulous - not more than a day in each city

(except in St. Petersburg where we had two) so a quick glimpse required much fancy 
footwork over the cobblestones…..

 …..and several stops at sidewalk cafes to rest our legs while sipping coffee and tasting local delicacies!

 At the royal palace we were able to watch the Changing of The Guard.

Many more pics to share with you later.

Just spent today in Copenhagen, Denmark. Now back on the ship and will be heading 
to Norway tonight. The weather has been grand - how lucky we are.

  2. I love the colours in the first photo - pale pink geraniums against the grey shutters and trim blend so well with the wood and stone all around. Light and lovely. So glad the weather is pleasant for you.

  5. My husband is always telling me that Stockholm is lovely now I can see why. I wonder if you are going to Stavanger? it is a stop for many of the cruise ships - my eldest son and his family lived there for 5 years until last summer.

  10. At last, some places I'VE actually been to - namely Stockholm and Copenhagen. I was also in Oslo but my friends didn't want to go into the "heartland" of Norway - the Gudbrandsdalen Valley where my grandmother grew up.

  12. Oh I say Mary, I do declare that those Soldiers look rather smashing. I may have to book my next trip to Stockholm sooner than expected;)
