Day 11, Saturday Aug 5th, Stockholm Sweden

(Suzanne) It was around 4:20a when the room started to get bright. I left the curtains open last night to let the natural light come into our stateroom. By 4:45a, the sun was peering in. I’m outside now, wrapped in my blanket. It’s not quite 5a. I came out to our balcony to watch the sun rise and to see what was around us. We were told that we will be navigating through the Northern Stockholm Archipelago from 4:30a until arrival at 9a and it’s supposed to be spectacular

hi guys, we just came back from our Canada trip – last week at a wonderful lake, swimming, canoeing, sailing, and reading. a tornado ripped through the area mid-week and destroyed houses and powerlines, so we had no power (or “hydro” as they call it) for the rest of the time, but no matter. I took a picture of “Ruby’s Resort” which was closeby

your trip sounds awesome, and inches me yet a bit closer to maybe going on a cruise ourselves!

The sliding glass door? You mean on your cabin? That would be a pretty sharp turn for big ship.

At certain times it did seem like a wide river, but there are hundreds of islands dotted everywhere and it can go from wide to very narrow at a moments notice. And if you were on the ship when the ship was making its way into the city there were times when you were only, maybe, 50 feet or so to the edge of the island and you could see the little rowboats moored to the docks fight the wake as it came crashing in. The ship could not just come straight in, it was slithering its way. There were times when it would turn and the sliding glass door would open.

Cool… another cliff-hanger. :-)

Looking at the map, it seems like Stockholm is pretty far from the open sea. Is it more like sailing on a wide river?
