Djurgarden in Stockholm

On Sunday I planned on getting over to the island of Djurgarden where my Stockholm Card would get me free access to a few sites. First stop was the Skansen Open Air Museum, feauturing over 150 cultural-historical buildings from all over Sweden. It was HUGE! Not only were there all these old houses, barns, shops, etc to look through, there was also an Aquarium (which strangely also had non-aquatic wildlife) & a zoo with all kinds of Scandinavian wildlife. There were also showcases of pottery & glassware making.
Next stop was the Vasa Museum which was centred around this almost perfectly preserved 17th Century Swedish ship that sank after only 25 mins of its maiden voyage because it was far too tall & narrow to keep itself upright. That's the theory anyway.
Next, on to the Nordic Museum which ran through more of the domestic culture of Sweden over the centuries.
By the end of the day, I was buggered. But I still managed to walk all the way back home, with a stop at Gamla Stan for a bite to eat first.
Ahhh...I'm loving Stockholm!
