Wonderful! Ok so I was missing the children by day two, we had a brilliant time! It got off to a great start when we saw The Hairy Bikers at the airport, I enjoy watching their programs, their enthusiasm and love of food really comes across.
Stockholm has wonderful buildings, painted in muted colours
lots of tall, thin buildings clustered together in the old town
.
The amazing Vasa Museum with the breathtaking ship towering above you
out of the gloom
Royal Jewels with diamonds the size of broad beans!
The chilly Baltic wind blowing off the sea and over the many bridges
The pelican crossings with their loud tick tock getting faster and faster
The ferry strike which meant we couldn't island hop as we'd hoped
The grocers shop at Skansen that smells just like Popsie's shed
Moose burgers and beer at £6 a glass. Lots of apartments with lamps in the window to welcome you home
and getting home to lots of cuddles from the children. Perfect!
