We have a nice tradition of going to Sweden a few days before Christmas by boat. It's a good way to start the holiday, and still have time for Christmas preparations. This time we went with Viking Gabriella. On our way to Stockholm it was quite stormy, although not as bad weather as it could have been. So we managed to eat at the restaurant and went shopping. In the morning it was calm again.
Beautiful sunrise after the storm.
Kids enjoyed playing in the cabin.
In Stockholm we took the bus and metro to downtown. There we went to the railway station to buy some Swedish magazines and a book for the kids. Of course we visited Åhléns department store as we always do. After that we took the metro to Stockholm's Old Town. There we had lunch with Swedish friends.
Downtown without snow.

When we came back to the boat there was enough time for swimming, sauna and eating at the restaurant. The sea was calm, and the kids stayed up a bit later, so we could watch some of the programs at the boat.
