The ship sailed into the Stockholm Archipelago at dawn...cold for sure...but beautiful nonetheless...I have no doubt that this area is a haven for Swedish summer holidayers...a further two ferries were cruising just behind us as we made some fairly tight lefts and rights to navigate our way through...(in case you were wondering, this ship behind didn't tear through this island, but did a sharp starboard tack followed by a similarly sharp port tack)...
About halfway through the archipelago, we experienced a brief snowfall, this was as it looked in front of the ferry...
And when the snowfall disappeared...
Finally ashore in Stockholm, some of the guards at the Royal Palace...
The first red church that I have seen...St Jakob's church in Stockholm...
I then travelled by train to Gothenburg on the west coast (or near enough) of Sweden...
Sailing ship on harbour...
More harbourside...
The building behind is the Gothenburg -Utkiken...a fairly unique skyscraper on the harbour...
On a marvellous day such as this one, the reflections were brilliant...
Next stop: Budapest
