Stockholm, Day 2
06/June/2009 04:28 PM Filed in: Tourist
Our second day in Stockholm was the 1st of June, which just happens to be our anniversary. So Bob and I were thrilled today when we woke up to a beautiful sunny day to enjoy. We spent the day being “tourists” for a while and visited a couple of museums in downtown Stockholm. We first visited the Titanic museum and then went on to the Vasa museum showing off the Vasa war ship that was recovered for the Baltic Sea in one piece! I’m not really a museum person, to be honest, but I actually enjoyed these museums. At the Titanic museum we had audio guides that we could control as we went and there were lots of pictures and personal stories of those who were lost, and saved at sea when the Titanic sank, so it made it quite enjoyable. The Vasa museum had its own flair and the boat itself is something to see. The rest of the day was spent wandering around the streets and finally arriving at a nice Italian cafe where we had a nice dinner and celebrated our second year of marriage. I know it’s not much, but we are thankful for every day we have had together. And, since we have been married, we have spent nearly every single one of them together...and we still really love each other! God is good and gave us a great day, and has blessed us with a great marriage.
A view of downtown Stockholm-the shipped marked “Hotel” is actually a youth hostel I remember from when I was in Sweden so many years ago.
The impressive “Vasa” war ship recovered in one piece-the museum was built around it!
Ah, doesn’t it make you want to visit? Another downtown view.
Stockholm...the city of islands.
