Stockholm pics

Not a lot I'm afraid but it gives you an idea of what a beautiful city it is. Built on 14 islands, one third is built, one third is 'green' and one third is water. Did quite a lot of s/seeing and travelling round whilst OH was working - the public transport is just amazing!

Stockholm looks a lovely place DM, the buildings are beautiful!

It's completely different to how I imagined it to be too!! Looks like you had gorgeous weather....nice to see you topping up your tan!

Stunning!!! I too find it a lot grander than I imagined. Having been to both Oslo and Copenhagen, I think Stockholm is very much more imposing . . . has more water than I imagined too - but not really surprising I suppose

What a beautiful place, everything looks so clean!

Wow what a beautiful place. It looks gorgeous and as Moli says 'so clean'

It is clean. You can catch salmon in the middle of the city. And eat it without ill effects.
Did you stay in the af Chapman boat-hotel?

Looks like a brilliant city a friend of mine went therea couple of years ago. They loved it too will put it on my list of places to see I think. Glad you had a great time.

No, we stayed out at Arsta, which is where OH was working. However, we have stayed at the Hotel Esplanade, which I think is the left hand building in the 3rd pic. Lovely place, quiet and spacious and a tray with glasses and a bottle of Croft sherry and cheese nibbles appeared at 5pm each day, with a little handwritten ticket saying - please help yourselves!

Now that's what I call service H

Bet Årsta didn't match up with the sherry-and-nibbles bit.

Noted for next visit, though - good recommendation!
