2019 Travels
Sweden, Finland and Denmark

June 2019

We got our fill of castles and churches in these fairytale Scandinavian countries. Stockholm, Sweden was our favorite - we loved the architecture.

Sweden

Below: Photos from our tour of Stockholm.













Below: The 'Vasa' is an ornate wooden ship that sank on its maiden voyage in Stockholm harbor in 1628. The ship and its crew were raised in 1961.







Below: We cruised around on the amphibious 'Ocean Bus.' That was fun.



Below: In the city of Malmo we took a boat ride through the canals and enjoyed the historic architecture.

Finland

Below: Our apartment in Helsinki was a nice home base to see the sites in the area.













Below: Exploring the Suomenlinna Sea Fortress was the highlight.



Below: The 'Temppeliaukion Church,' built in a rock, is rather unique.

Denmark

Below: Copenhagen was delightful and colorful.











Below: Christiania is a 'residential' area for free thinkers and, apparently, budding grafitti artists.



Below: The Royal Castle contains the crown jewels, and quite a few other marvelous works of art.







Scandinavia was nice. Next stop: the Baltic Countries.
