I'm Back

I have been home for two weeks after our fantastic Baltic Cruise. The places we visited were amazing and the crown jewel was St. Petersburg, Russia. We spent two days touring St. Petersburg and only touched on the splenders of this historic city. I will be posting in small posts of all the wonderful sights and Russia I will leave until the end.

I really got hit with jet lag this time and it took a little over a week to get back to normal. In between sleeping I had a swap to get ready for and was so happy to see that my Etsy orders of supplies had arrived while I was away. And I did manage to get my swap items out on time. Last week was full of catch up appointments and of course the never ending chores we sometimes have to do.

My husband took over 2300 pictures and I have been trying to upload some of my favourites of each city.

Our first stop was Stockholm, Sweden. We visited City Hall. This is the place that the Nobel Prizes are presented each year except for the Peace prize which is presented in Oslo, Norway.

The interior of City Hall is beautiful. This only gives a little taste


Next the Vasa Museum, this was one of the places I would have loved to have spent much more time at. Vasa was a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship sank on it maiden voyage after sailing less than a nautical mile in 1628. She was salvaged almost intact in 1961 and the museum was built around her.



Old Town in Stockholm is a lovely place to wander around with it's many shops and places to eat. It is also the only place that I found a gargoyle



I have been trying to catch up with all the wonderful posts I've missed and will be around visiting soon.
