We have arrived in Stockholm very early in the morning, before the sun rises over the water.

The city is situated on 14 islands.

There are majestic architecture, numerous palaces, many outdoors statues and old-fashioned street lanterns here.

It is really a palace.

We have met the sunrise with the Hermes bronze statue. It is wearing only sandals and the helmet.

Rocky streets of the old city.

Flowers

The tiny park is ornate with flowers.

Bicycle lane

We have met the Russian tourists. It seemed to me there are more of them in Antalya than in Northland.

Defining route

It’s time! We have to plan the next route.

Street cafe

But the comfortable caf? looks so seducing.

We have found the poult of sparrow. I believe he survived that day!
