The Day After

The Almqvist family awakened in Stockholm, tied up outside NORDISKA MUSEET. We realised that we would not 'possess' this prime loca tion in Central Stockholm for very much longer.

We were all in recovery from THE NIGHT BEFORE - which turned into a PARTY attended by Peter, Eva, Annika, Alexandra, Remi, Mattias and Bodil.

Quinn seemed to feel that Alexandra was not eating enough and was throwing crisps and treats at her...

A good time was had by all and red wine stains were found on deck this morning.

Good job we had decided not to relocate to VALDERMARSUDDE as Nordiska Museet is easier to get to...

We all had a walk in town, visited a Chandler and had tea + treat at Sturekatten pa Normalm.

Then we cast off, stopped at Valdermarsudde to fill the water tank and headed for Vaxholm.

It is still 'off season' in Sweden and considering the Arctic temperatures I can quite understand why. Sensible people are in their HOUSES at this time of the year....

We had pizza in a 'Football Restaurant'.

Everyone was asleep by 8.30 pm.

And actually... I could get used to 12 hour nights....
