The Love Boat Marathon Starts
Today was the start to our 10 day cruise around the Baltic States! We got to know our stateroom which was quite large and very nice, except for the huge lifeboat blocking our window. Oh well we'll be happy it's there if we need it. We are very ...
Road Trip Begins
... There really are so many beautiful cities here we feel we're beginning to be reduntant, but with the thousands of lakes in Sweden, every town is a medieval Muskoka. How could we object getting semi-lost in Karlstad, where we had lunch, with views like ...
Stockholm
It rained virtually my entire stay so I apologize for the quality of the photos. There was no brilliant blue sky that would have enabled me to take some great ...

12 timmar kvar
Mitt flyg går om 12 timmar, och jag är i princip färdig med packning och allt. Ska bli spännande att se hur jag klarar av att landa i Mumbai klockan 4 på natten och leta hotell och taxi. Mumbai (Bombay), har 19 miljoner invånare... helt galet. Men ...

Quick stop in Sweden
Stockholm was a great city to visit - very picturesque. We unfortunately only had one full day, which was not enough, but we crammed in quite a bit anyway. After a boat cruise around the islands, which was really pretty, we walked up the City ...
