Winter holidays! Jack travelled to Finland with me for pre-Christmas. We had been thinking of going to Tallinn for a day trip during his eight day stay, or maybe staying overnight, but we happened to find a cruise to Stockholm instead; the short cruises are a good way to explore cities, and the atmosphere on the ships is worth experiencing as well - for better or worse. We did have fun, watching children roam around "drunk" from sugar, and adults actually drunk.
Stockholms is a beautiful city, and six hours always ends up seeming too short. You can easily spend it just wandering around Gamla Stan, and that was what we mostly spent our time doing. The small alleys are charming during Christmas time, and there's always another lovely design shop around the corner. It is a shame though, that the weather was not so good - we left snowy Helsinki for a foggy, grey Stockholm. We wanted to go to Södermalm as well, to see views of the city from higher up, but it started to rain and the winter months left us in the dark.
Maybe we need to return to Stockholm in the spring to see a bit more?
