Eurovision The morning of Eurovision started with another visit to the Royal Palace where we visited the underground wood storage vaults which are now also an exhibition area which encompasses amazing tapestries and artifacts. Then a walk through the collection of marble statues and a view of a garden. It was getting cold so we found a little street cafe and had wine and cheese in the warmth, people watching. We dressed in our best travel clothes and th...

Meeting up with Darryl for the first time after being away for two weeks was exciting. We arrived pretty much around the same time. It was great; Darryl was very excited about the trip which was also great to see. We headed off to our accommodation. Stockholm was a great place; we didn't really like it that much the first time we came but, hey. The next day we went to the ABBA museum. Here there was heaps of ABBA things to see and do. Rod and I sang karaoke to Ma...

After breakfast we caught the bus and metro into Slussen then a ferry across to Djurgårde...

We caught a ferry across to Djurgården and walked up the cobbled street to the ABBA Museum, we explored the three levels, and I did a photo...

Good Morning, It is now 05:00 and I feel quite refreshed after a great nights sleep and scrumptious dinner cooked by Rod, dessert of fresh berries and chocolate by Chris and I provided the French wine and the biggest smile chatted to my 2 great friends at our quaint hotel on Lidingo Island, having traveled for 30:5 hours from Sydney. I had three great flights - Qantas and 2 with Swiss Air, all flights were flawless and Rod organised extra legroom for my 13 ...
