Thursday 16th - Travel day today - Helsinki to Stockholm - A short 1 hour flight - Weather was nice on our arrival but as soon as we settled into the hotel and got out to have a look around, it started to rain. We did manage to get out later for a look around.

Some of the views around the city area

Friday 17th - A typical tourist day. A walk through the city, a boat cruise, a look through the Royal Palace (no photos allowed), a walk through the old city (Gamla Stan) and then onto the Vasa Museum. Unfortunately the heavens opened and we got a bit wet so it was into a taxi back to the hotel.
