Stockholm, Sweden:. Consists of the Mainland and 14 islands. We went on a scenic cruise around Djurgarden and a bus tour of the city before the afternoon downpour.
Leaving the city of Stockholm we sailed for 5 hours along the archipelagos.
Copenhagen, Denmark:. The first stop on our tour was the Tivoli Garden and then a boat ride through the cities' canals. The architecture was one of the highlights of the city and I took a lot of pictures from the canal boat.
