Stockholm, Sweden

Saturday, May 14

Day #49!   We were up early this morning.  The best part of the day to enjoy the best sail-in to Stockholm.  We sailed past hundreds of islands, some of which were inhabited.  It was very scenic and very Scandinavian.  We watched for 3 hours while packing and eating breakfast. 

We decided we just could not handle  another city tour. Muscles aching everywhere, sore butt, sore back.  It makes it difficult to get on and off buses at all the different spots.  Besides, do we really need to visit another church?  At 10 am we hopped on the shuttle bus.  You guessed it.  Geocaching led the way.  It is a very cold and windy day.  We walked over some bridges and found ourselves in Old Town.  By now y'all know what that means....
yep....cobbled streets!  Bob was happy he found some caches.  We were headed to the shopping streets when our eyes came upon a café with interesting food.  We went in to take a look.  Bob asked if they had coffee and hot chocolate.  The answer was yes.  Then we spotted a pretty good looking apple strudel to go with that.  It came with vanilla cream.  It was melt in your mouth good!  The hot chocolate was served in a huge bowl with a couple of small meringues and a huge piece of whipped cream.  They sure know how to make hot chocolate in Scandinavia!

Bob succeeded in his mission of finding at least one cache in each country, including the Vatican, Monte Carlo and Russia.  He is very happy.

Tomorrow we are homeward bound.
