Stockholm

We're back! Stockholm was very nice and we happened to catch a few good sunny days. The city is quite interestingly spread out over a few small islands, all of them quite different in character. The old town island (Gamla Stan) had quaintish narrow streets with cobbled stones. The "fun" island (Djurgarden) had amusement parks, open spaces, an open-air museum and various other museums. And the city area (Normaalm) was pretty much like any other city with trains, buses, lots of cars and tons of McDonalds..

We spent most of the time walking/pottering around and brought Matty to the amusement park twice (in 4 days!). He had tons of fun there -- I'll do another post later with some pics of him -- and we had to drag him away quite reluctantly. I think he now understands the concept of a holiday and will probably start bugging us to take more of them (daddy especially).
