A whole basin of yachts
|
Fort barracks near the Copenhagen harbor entrance
|
Roses and fire alarm
|
Playground at the park
|
Sculpture/fountain
|
Arbors and sculpture (no fountain)
|
If you look closely you'll see the fountain part
|
Logos anyone?
|
The main entrance to Tivoli
|
And back to the Marriott
|
Finally aboard ship for a day at sea
|
The Crown Princess had 3200 passengers and 1200 crew
|
First stop was Stockholm where they were rebuilding the bridge to the Royal Palace and old city
|
The Royal Palace was big and rebuilt after a fire in the 1680s
|
Where royal horses drink
|
Here comes the Royal guard
|
We chanced upon the changing of the guard in Stockholm
|
Old Town in Stockholm had narrow cobblestoned streets
|
Quaint cobblestoned street with al fresco dining
|
Those storm clouds eventually burst, but were our only bad weather on the trip (it didn't last long)
|
We took a short ferry to the Vasa Museum
|
Stockholm's answer to Tivoli?
|
Stockholm had yachts too
|
A model of the Vasa (sank on it's maiden voyage)
|
Another model -- reason was that the non-boatbuilder mucky muck wanted another deck above what the boatbuilder said was safe
|
Detail of the real ship (recently dug up -- was preserved in the harbor by the salt water)
|
Leaving Stockholm in early evening
|
The Stockholm archipeligo was unbelievably beautiful and took and hour to traverse
|
There was a parade of several liners through the archipeligo
|
The aft pool (all the pools were body temperature)
