Free Time on Stockholm Day 2


So, what with Stockholm being a city on the sea and spreading over a large archipelago of islands there are a plethora of boat trips on offer to tourists and we're suckers for those, so no surprise that we spent the morning doing that very thing. The one we chose was relatively short as we had other plans for the afternoon. In effect it just chugged out to one of the larger islands - Djurgarden - and motored slowly round it. It was very pleasant though, there's nothing quite like being on the water on a sunny day, enjoying the view, sipping coffee and  watching people go about their daily lives.
 
There are pictures, naturally
 





 
 
May have overdone it there with the pictures but it's hard to choose.
 
The afternoon we spent wandering round Stockholm's Old Town - Gamla Stan, mainly looking at shops and buying a few nice bits and pieces, mostly for other folk, it must be said. I heroically resisted the urge to find either of the excellent wool shops that I know there are in Gamla Stan on the grounds that I am not in need of Any More Wool. There are a couple of pictures of little details I took in Gamla Stan
 


 
I should have taken more and probably will when we go back in December.
