Stockholm Thursday 21 August

Well, the swell got bigger and we rocked and rolled all night! We touched the edge of the storm and when I had my shower before bed, I had to hold the hand rail to remain upright! It’s lovely getting into bed and being rocked to sleep!

The weather didn’t look too good this morning; what’s it been like through the trip? Colder than Sydney on a normal winter day! Temps rarely have got to 23; cloudy about half the time. Rain has caught us unawares, like yesterday afternoon running from Starbucks. Right now it’s coming over heavily cloudy again.

I took a tour to the ABBA Museum this morning, with a scenic drive around the city. The Museum was a hoot; the music is so infectious, everyone was bopping around, singing to the songs. You could record yourself singing as the fifth member of the group.




I got off the tour bus downtown and will catch a public bus back to the ship. There’s no deadline but I’m just about caught up with emails now, so I’ll go back before too long . I’ve walked quite a bit already; lots of interesting buildings to photograph. I found myself in front of a Catholic church so I ducked in to pray for a little while. Right next door is a cafe with wifi! So that’s where I am now. Two cups of tea later, I’m ready to go.

Incidentally, my cabin is in an ideal spot; right at the aft/port corner. I don't get any "traffic" or neighbour noise mostly.
