Momboisse Family Adventures Baltic Sea- Stockholm, Sweden, Stockholm, Sweden

The Norwegian sun arrived in Nynashamn, Sweden about 1 1/2 hours from Stockholm. This would be our only tender transfer.

Originally we had planned on touring this city on our own. We spent hours learning the various islands, streets and sights. As we got closer to our arrival we decided with three hours plus by train from Nynashamn alone and only ten hours in port, a guided tour would cause us less stress. Glad we made the change. Armed with plenty of knowledge we were on the first tender at 7:30am and one of the first tours to leave Nynashamn for Stockholm.

Our bus took a little over an hour to reach our first destination, a viewpoint at the corner of Katarinavägen and Fjällgatan on the island of Sodermalm.

The city of Stockholm was built on 14 islands, we will visit many of them before the day is over. From our view point we recognized The Vasa Museum on Djurgarden, the clipper ship turned youth hostel on Skeppsholmen, the Grand Hotel on the tip of Blasienholmen, the Storkyrkan Church on Gamla Stan and the Town Hall. This is a spectacular and beautiful city on the water.

Our driver crossed the Centralbron to the island of Gamla Stan (Old Town) and parked by the Royal Palace. Here we were given ninety minutes to explore this island on our own. Without the research we had done on Stockholm our precious little time on this quaint island might have been wasted. Instead we took off heading straight down Slottsbacken waving at the Royal Palace guards. They didn't wave back. The following is a short video of our walk. ......
