Baltic -Blog - back at sea
Stockholm, Sweden was a great day! First, a group of about 20 Stockholm Trekkers met us at the dock with a wonderful welcome! We had a group of 7 cruise trekkers and 5 or 6 Stockholm Trekkers together for the day to check out the sites and then go to a SF bookstore for Robert and Garrett's booksigning event. I have so many pictures that I'll post when I get home!
First up was the Vasa Museum, which contains an entire ship that sank in 1628 before it ever made it's maiden voyage. The ship keeled over right before the first sailing and was lost to sea until 1956, when it was found and brought back to land. Because the ship was so well preserved, only a minimal amount of work has been needed to preserve it.
The fun thing about being with the Stockholm Trekkers, is that we were able to see the city through each other's eyes. We had the added bonus of simply by being Trek fans, we were all able to get along.
There are a lot of waterways in Stockholm and we took the ferry to get around to the various tourist points. It was another warm and sunny day so water transport was perfect. We ended up in the city center and it was time for ice cream! After that, we went to the SF bookstore and it was crowded with Trek fans from all over Sweden and Norway! (And we were far from Norway, but there's a big con there next year.)
There was now just a short time left so we said good-bye to our new friends and rushed off to Hard Rock to get the guitar pins! All in all, it was a great day.
