Day trip to Birka, a Viking island museum two hours west of Stockholm
It was actually pretty cozy and fresh smelling in here, and I could imagine how nice it would be to fall asleep on the straw padded beds with a fire going in the pit.
Here are some ship reconstructions.
Perhaps my favorite picture, taken through a tiny window in the side of a locked hut.
And then it started to rain harder, so we just waited inside the cafe for shelter and scurried aboard the boat when we could. On the journey back we had a table reserved with fish and potatoes prepared for us, and it was a delicious way to end the day and relax.
After eating, I went up to the deck and took more photos of the approach into Stockholm.
This picture was notable because of the epic castle house.
Looking at this next one reminds me of Norway.
I love how pretty and colorful the house is on this private island. How truly awesome it would be to have my own!
I guess the underbelly of this bridge is the hip place to hang out on a summer afternoon.
This shot of Kungsholmen looks so dreamy, I love it.
I pessimistically tried to make a panorama while sailing through the water, which totally surprised me when it actually worked.
The end!
I probably won’t have have another update for a while as I sort through the >10k pictures I took while on my eurotrip, but I’ll try to churn out new posts as fast as I can.
