Just a few steps from our hotel in Gothenburg, we found a wonderful botanical garden – lovely to walk in and a great chance to rest after a day of sightseeing.

We stumbled across this sale driving across the Swedish countryside.
So many of those historic tractors on one spot – we had to stop and take a photo!

Stockholm

Walking to Gamla Stan, we passed so many wonderful buildings – what a pity the weather was not better!
Having taken a guided tour before, we felt confident we’d remember the buildings – built I’m at a loss now 🙂

Mariestadt

Driving from Gothenburg to Stockholm, we made a stop to visit Mariestadt and spend a while walking through the city and enjoying the view – and enjoy fika of course 🙂

A memory of our visit to Stockholm – walking through the city was one of our favorite things to do. So many wonderful sights and buildings at every corner!

Little Red House

One more memory of Sweden – a friend reminded me of our visit to Sweden yesterday and we talked about the little red houses – so I just had to get out a photo of a little red house 🙂

Skokloster

One of the castles we visited on the day of the four castles in Sweden – Skokloster.
It was one of the most beautiful castles we’ve seen – and they had a small cafeteria where I could get waffles for lunch 😀

Sailing through the seven seas

Captain Bear – we found him in a shop window in Gothenburg, Sweden. He looked like he had already seen the seven seas – I hope to someday sail on such a ship…

Changing of the guards

Walking out of the hotel, we came across the royal guards walking towards the changing of the guards – a spectacular sight.
