Stockholm, Sweden
We slept late this morning, since our excursion was scheduled for the afternoon. We had breakfast in the Lido restaurant and then headed up to the Crow’s Nest on Deck 11 to work on notes for photos and this narrative. We had a nice view of the city, with a 270 deg. panoramic view. It was fun to watch the various commercial and pleasure water craft make their way past the ship in the harbor. Since it was the weekend, there were plenty of small motorboats and sailboats headed out for the day…or more. The weather was cool and sunny, a delightful day...again.
Another jigsaw puzzle was started, the one from the previous day was complete…with the exception of two pieces which had apparently jumped ship or found their way into the vacuum cleaner. Pam found a jigsaw puzzle without the box top…so no picture to use as a reference. This one is for those jigsaw puzzlers who claim that using the picture on the box top is cheating.
We had American Cheeseburgers and French Fries for lunch before departing for our Roof Top Walk. There were only 11 people in our group, so that was nice. Everyone was suited with hard hats & safety harnesses (Shell would be so proud!) It was a nice view of Stockholm from an uncommon vantage point. We had a walk through the old town with a narrative from our guide. Lots of old buildings and lots of old cobble stone streets. We even walked up the slimmest street in the old town. The street is named after a business man who was killed on a business trip to northern Sweden in the 1500s. We were also told about 500 meters of shore land that was built on garbage many years ago, and is now sinking.
