Day 10 of our Baltic Cruise and we arrived at 7 am in Stockholm, and a departure at 2 pm, so not long in this beauiful city. We opted for the Hop On Hop Off water bus this time and were so pleased as it was a lovely way to get into the city. You would think we would not have wanted another trip on the water but it was better than queuing up for the bus. We took a lot of photos, as usual, but from the water it was different to the other places which we often had to photograph from a bus window.

After breakfast we headed off for a walk around Stockholm. What a beautiful city, and from the Gamla Stan, the Old Town, to the new part, we were completely enthralled by its beauty. On leaving the waterfront we headed off and had no idea where would end up, but we had heard that the Gamla Stan area was well worth a visit.
