Stockholm, Sweden, Post-Cruise

I got to my hotel, but the room wasn't ready.  I walked to Old Town and took a short cruise around the islands that make up Stockholm.

The most expensive homes/apartments are in this neighborhood.  Bjorn Borg lives in one of these buildings.


A shot from the boat interior on the city tour of Stockholm's main islands.

The royal palace of Sweden.  The King and Queen actually reside about 21km outside Stockholm rather than in the palace.

The Swedish guards, here at the royal palace, aren't like the British soldiers at Buckingham Palace ... they speak to people.

A view from the palace looking toward the Parliament and square.

Stockholm is a beautiful city.  It's clean and the folks are friendly.  Everyone (especially the young) speaks English, too.
