Ok, Mandy, here is a blog for you. Chris and I are on the M/S Viking Grace. It is an 11 storey high Baltic Ferry that is taking us from Stockholm, Sweden to Turku, Finland via a stop on the Åland Islands (blog location). But is fairness we are currently moving through the Swedish Archipelago at a leisurely pace and drinking wine and beer at 10 am. We are taking heaps of photos as we plod along. I will spend the day writing this blog. Chris and I are really re...

The title of this blog is soooo appropriate right now. Sweden has failed on everything post 1600. The buildings around Stockholm are beautiful and the many photos I took will have to remain locked in my digital camera because there is no way to down load them onto the blog.

Even though Reykjavik was amazing we had to move on to Oslo. We walked around the city of Oslo and enjoyed the each other's company of course. We first explored the Opera House. I must say Sydney Opera House is much better then this one. Then we went and saw a castle. The things you see around the world is amazing. Sydney thinks they have old buildings, these are much older. On the second day we followed a Mayday parade and saw heaps more. This city is so good. W...
