Day in Stockholm

We had a very pleasant and enjoyable day in Stockholm. Our shore excursion consisted of a bus ride around the city, followed by a boat ride to see many of the same sites from the water. Overall, very enjoyable.
Stockholm hasn't impressed us as much as Copenhagen. We've actually been more fascinated with the trip up the Stockholm Arpeggio and back than the long list of buildings. One very exciting event is the Volvo Ocean racers arrived in town today so the crowds were all over the place waiting for these large sailboats to sail into the harbor. We only saw one up close and it was rather impressive.
Amazingly, we did not get to do much souvenir shopping. There is a small store at the dock where Mary picked up a few postcards but that was it. And that shop operated in US$ so we did not get any Swedish Krona. Oh well.
On to Helsinki tomorrow!
