The Viking Museum, Sweden
What we thought was our last full day in Copenhagen was spent heading out to Roskilde to check out The Viking Museum and then spending several hours at Tivoli even when it started raining in the evening. Informative and fun day! They had a build your own boat area to see if you could make […]
Wonderful Copenhagen- Øresund bridge and Kronborg Slot
On the tail end of our trip we headed back to Copenhagen for a couple more days by way of the Øresund bridge which then plunges into the water and turns into a tunnel to reach the city from Malmö. We decided to head to directly to Helsingor, north of Copenhagen, to see Kronborg Slot. […]
Bornholm Island, Sweden
So, to make things more interesting in Sweden, we decided to jump on a ferry early in the morning and investigate Bornholm Island, which is Danish.😅 It’s quicker from southern Sweden but there is so much to do outdoors and small enough to get around the island decently quick. Sorry, photos are a little more […]
Our final night in Stockholm – Lund to Ladonia to Helsingborg, Sweden
Our final night in Stockholm we had met up with a cousin to have dinner and talk. To continue a similar trend on the night we arrived in Malmö we enjoyed a lovely dinner with the family of one of Dave’s friends from his previous Spanish experience. Based on a suggestion from them, we visited […]
Malmö by bike
Windy, but sunny day in Malmö and good for a bike ride since it is also pretty flat. Explored the old town, checked out some Parks and nobody got a flat tire. Whoohooo! The main plaza, Stortorget Malmö, looking towards their city hall, Malmö Rådhus. Toren asked if all city halls looked like this. Another […]
Malmö, Sweden
On our way from Stockholm to Malmö we stopped over in Kalmar to allow me a sufficient break in driving and check out the area including our whole next morning on the island, Öland (land of the windmills) right across the way. We stayed in a hotel right on the Stortorget in the old town […]
Wandered to an Island and Drottningholm Slott, Stockholm
So, our last day in Stockholm was visiting 1 of the islands in the archipelago as there roughly 30,000 and then as we were at a loss for what to do in the afternoon we wandered over to Drottningholm Slott, a palace and wandered through the gardens. Vaxholm Castle which is on its own island […]
Visited Skansen and stroll along Ostermalm, Sweden
We had one pretty easy-going day in Stockholm as we visited Skansen (oldest open air museum and small zoo opened in 1891), took a walk along Monteliusvägen (Ostermalm) as the sun was going down enjoyed a park or 2 and Asher wanted to cut off all his lovely locks. Enjoying learning about different parts of […]
The Vasa Museum-Stockholm, Sweden
We took the opportunity to visit the Vasa Museet while in Stockholm and it is a one of a kind, must see experience. The boys enjoyed their experience in their own way while Toren played tour guide to Asher. Super cute and really allowed Dave and I to soak up all the information about this […]
Stockholm, Sweden
Our 1st day out and about in Stockholm and the rain finally catches up and pours. It was quite a day in and around Gamla Stan as well as a fun, entertaining Ocean Bus tour that reminded us of the Duck Tours at home in Seattle. It is no wonder this city is considered one […]
