Day 23 - A Final Stroll around Stockholm. Next stop - Helsinki!

Let’s start with last night - after a lovely dinner I did indeed go up on the observation deck nearby and got some lovely views of the city.

I had a slow start this morning on account of a busy day yesterday and my bed being very comfortable! I also had to pack up my belongings in my box and check out.

I had a vague notion of going to the Nobel Prize museum, but the weather was absolutely delightful, and it felt like a waste to go indoors, so instead I wandered back over to Gamla Stan to a few areas I had not yet seen.

I stopped off for some breakfast and then went to visit Riddarholmen Church, a medieval church and the final resting place of Swedish royals.

It was soon time to head to the ferry terminal. I must confess to having been quite nervous about the ferry, as I do not have good sea-legs and it has been many, many years since I last spent a night on a boat.

Despite being advertised as a ferry, this is very much a floating hotel. The giveaway was definitely when I found out that there is a nightclub and casino onboard!

I had paid a bit more for a cabin with a sea-view to stop me freaking out too much, and it is quite cute:

Clearly they wanted me to feel at home onboard, as soon after we set off there was a pub quiz - with all the questions about the duty free shop! I did not win, but fun was had.

I am now just having dinner at the buffet restaurant. There really is ALL the food. Luckily the boat is big enough for me to be able to have a bit of a walk afterwards!

Day 1 - It Starts……..

Image
Having been thinking and talking about this adventure for months, today rather crept up on me. As well being a little hurried in actually packing a rucksack for up to three months of travel (I had been organised with packing lists, just not the actually putting things in a bag bit), I was also a bit last minute in tying up loose ends at home, mainly the boring things, like sorting out my car tax that I realised expired whilst I am away. It was therefore also a bit of a late night doing the really important things, like finishing the hardback book I had no intention of travelling with, and downloading some shows to watch onto my Chromebook. But, after a bit of last minute re-packing (Do I really need that extra T-shirt? Probably not. Where did I put that charging cable?), my rucksack was ready to go, and I had sorted everything I needed to in my flat. I am pleased to report that I have not left anything in the fridge that is likely to be gross on my return. Then off through the rain to ...

Day 2 - Touristing it up in Brussels

Image
The Eurostar journey was pretty uneventful yesterday. Despite looking out of the window, I did not see any fish 🐠 as I crossed the Channel, and I made sure I was on the look-out for small boat crossings too.....  It was early evening when I arrived in Brussels. The metro system took me a few minutes (and one journey in the wrong direction) to figure out, but Google Maps did its thing and got me to my hotel safely. The hotel is near the Royal Galleries, close to the Grand Place, and it is pretty busy around as apparently this is a big weekend with Belgian National Day tomorrow.  An evening quest for food (success) was followed by a walk through said Royal Galleries and then a test of my photography skills at the Grand Place. It is, as the name suggests, pretty Grand. Pleasingly for me, there were lots of Geocaching AdLabs around for me to use to learn some history. My visit here was then followed up with some good wandering around, with the highlight undoubtedly the Brussels D...

Day 3 - Happy Belgian National Day!

Image
Yesterday evening was fairly quiet - a stroll to see Jeanneke Pis, all in the name of gender equality.... and then an ice-cream and soaking up some of the holiday vibes.  Today, in case you did not know, is Belgium's national day. I had read a bit about some celebration events, some of which I am hoping to see this evening, but I did not know that as I walked to find some breakfast this morning, within 100m of my hotel I would stumble upon the whole Belgian royal family arriving for the Te Deum mass at the St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral. Having previously sat opposite the Swedish royal family at a concert in Stockholm when visiting with Lizzy, I am starting to appreciate European royal families turning out for my visits.... Apparently it was King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, and their four children (Elisabeth, Eleonore, Gabriel and Emmanuel) who were there. You can read all about their outfits on the Daily Fail Online, if that's your thing.  Anyway, I enjoyed the experience, ...
