We docked right across the water from their amusement park. It was very active on this warm, sunny Saturday.
Elegant Stockholm is nestled where Lake Malaren's cobalt waters meet the Baltic. This stunning cultural capital extends over 14 islands linked by 54 graceful bridges. Hailed as one of the world's cleanest cities, it boasts numerous green parks. The incredibly preserved 13th century Gamla Stan, or Old Town, boasts gabled merchant houses and an array of architectural styles that spans Stockholm 's history, from the enormous baroque Stockholm Palace to the Art Nouveau Royal Dramatic Theatre. In 1897, the city hosted the World's Fair, leading to a revitalization boom designed to show off its beautiful setting.
Just a few shots of the magnificent architecture.
There were people everywhere today, with the outside cafe's being full. We actually did a tour of the city in the morning and walked around in the afternoon. Another lovely place and certainly worth a longer visit.
Yup, that is Eric doing another geocache. We travelled to 11 countries and were able to log geocaches in each country. It brought us to interesting places that we never would have found on our own.
Well, this winds up our blog. It has been a fabulous trip and we are looking forward to getting home. No matter how wonderful it is to travel and see our beautiful world, family is the most important thing.
Thanks everyone for sharing our trip and a God bless.
