Rented bikes this morning. Heidi went for a spin around the block to test the bike. She got lost. Then we visited the Kastellet and the Designmuseum Danmark. Some great chairs here. The Danes love their chairs. Surprisingly little Bang & Olufsen. Then a beautiful Marmorkirken. It was almost painful to bike through the iconic [...]
Today's diary entry: "A long boring train ride, but we arrived in Copenhagen. It's pride week; that's not boring." H1, if you are reading: Here's H2 after unexpectedly discovering Københavns Biblioteker. We will be going back, I'm sure. We wandered past the grounds of Christiansborg Slot but didn't go in. We may go back, we'll see. Scandi-palaces [...]
Walking to dinner last night we saw these folks hanging from wires in a rehearsal for the Stockholms Kulturfestival in one of the harbours. Apparently the theme for the festival this year is Kanada. Then, dinner in the cellars of Gamla stan, and a walk home in the rain. Its a new dawn, its a new day, and the sun [...]
But there was "NO COLLUSION". Wait, that's a different story. First here is Heidi having a laugh at the sculpture gallery featuring the plunder of Gustav III. We visited the Royal Chapel / Slottskyrkan, and had a peek at the storm coming in to the gardens, and went into the foundations of Kungliga Slotten to see [...]
Andrew and Isabella arrived in Stockholm. Here we are together. We spent the morning touring the Kungliga Slottet (royal palace) in Gamla Stan.

Hurra. We spent the day trying to stay awake and exploring Norrmalm And we ended up at the Stadshuset and stumbled on the Riddarholmen Church on the way back to the hotel.
Walking to and from the train today was sweltering; like living a re-enactment of "The Bridge Over the River Kwai". Here are some assorted shots from July. Include a lovely visit to Greg and Maggie on Yoho Island. Canada Day in Hoboken, and killing time before a matinée at a park in Manhattan.
