Stockholm cruise

We checked a piece of luggage this trip and wouldn't you know it didn't make it to Stockholm with us yesterday. Fortunately it arrived around midnight last night. I was very excited to see it, even though I had finally just gotten to sleep. As usual we're struggling a bit with jet lag - we're 5 hour ahead of Mahone Bay, which makes getting up early a challenge. We managed to get up by 10 am this morning - 5am NS time. Hoping to actually get to breakfast tomorrow, which is included in our hotel stay!
By the time we finally pulled ourselves together it was lunchtime - so we headed to the waterfront for lunch and booked a cruise tour of the archipelago. We had some time to walk around before our boat tour. Our tour was on a gorgeous reconditioned wooden boat. Lovely boat, great weather and spectacular scenery. We both definitely want to come back, this is an amazingly livable city, lots of outside space, waterfront walks that go on for miles, all kinds of boating and outdoor cafes.
This is a great map of the old town. Our hotel was in Gamla Stan and our cruise took us out beyond this inner Old Town. Sweden has the most islands of any country in the world, over 11,000 most of them quite small. The city has lots of bridges making walking around and exploring some the islands quite easy. 
We had dinner at a lovely Italian restaurants with our friends Mary and Steve.
