SWEDEN, Gamla Stan
August 30, 2013
Sweden is built on 14 islands and Gamla Stan is the oldest (13th century) and most beautiful. My hostel is located right in middle of Gamla Stan near the Royal Palace.SWEDEN, Stockholm, The Royal Palace
The Royal Palace has 608 rooms making it the largest royal palace in the world. I toured it today but unfortunately they do not allow photos.
SWEDEN, Stockholm, Vasa Museum
September 1, 2013
My cruise ship leaves at 6 pm so I decided to go to the Vasa Museum and see the world's best preserved 17th century naval ship. The ship was incredible and well preserved even though the exterior no longer has its vibrant color. After a few hours here I walked the 45 minutes to the cruise port and checked in. Unfortunately 2 hrs before boarding, but I am a "get there" early kinda guy. Note: Also bought double cheeseburgers at McDonalds for dinner on the ship instead of paying $20-25 for dinner on the ship. A pattern that would occur on a daily basis. Saved at least $50 by doing this which is 10 nights in a private room in San Pedro, Guatemala. Perspective.
SWEDEN, Malmo

Only 39 minutes by TRAIN from Copenhagen, Denmark is beautiful town of Malmo. From the waterfront you can actually see Denmark.SWEDEN, Gothenburg
June 22-24, 2019
2 hour train from Malmo but then 45 minute walk to hostel. Gothenburg was not what I expected. The "old town" does not seem very 9ld and really not a lot to see. The hostel recomnended visiting the nearby islands but doesnt really interest me. There is a large park neaarby where EVERYONE is catching "rays" when possible. Scandinavians LOVE their sun and I would too with long nights and cold in the winter. Lol
