Okay, so I felt like getting at least 5 “S” words in the title of this post. Have 5 beers then say that line 5 times. Anyway, early morning is the time to be in Gamla Stan.

Within a couple of hours of these photos, you really couldn’t move with any freedom agmonst the tourists who gawked at everything and everywhere – except where they were walking, such is life.

So I disappeared off to Kungliga Djurgården, visiting the Stockholn Rowing Club (of course) and the quiet of wooded trails.

I even surprised a deer nibbling on some grass beside one of the trails. Being a true recluse, he trotted away before I could get my camera out. I wonder how many photos have been taken in Stockholm today on iPhones, Samsungs, etc, etc?

Not surprisingly, I was somewhat zombied out after the ‘night’ on the boat. At 6:30 in the morning the place was deserted, I cycled thru the Main Street in Gammla Stan with not a sole around. Of course 6 hours later was a different story and you couldn’t move.

I staying on one of those funky little old coastal steamers. When? Cos they’re about the cheapest thing, apart from a park bench and, well, kinda fun.

Not a bad view from the boat.

You’ll notice that the sky doesn’t have that clear Swedish blue, let’s just say the rain and lighting put on a good show in the afternoon.
