Stockholm is 1/3 water, 1/3 greenbelt and 1/3 buildings. It is indeed a very beautiful city. 40 bridges link its 14 islands. We had to leave our ship by tender (rescue boats which hold 120) as the ship couldn't dock. We somehow picked the wrong tour and did a 4 hr "Stockholm Highlights" but missed going in to see the Vasa Museum (just passed by). The Vasa is a ship which took 3 years to build and on its maiden voyage sunk within 15 minutes of sailing - a record yet to be beaten. They bought the boat up in one piece. In the winter you can ski in the gardens and skate on the canals. Our elderly but very energetic guide Lillian said she could ski from her front door to work. We got back about 2pm had lunch and spent some expensive time on the blog. Booked a 4 hr tour of Copenhagen after which they will drop us and our luggage off at the Hilton. Had a well earned drink in the Sports Bar and went to dinner. Met up with John and Judith in Dazzles.
