The next day we were in Helsinki, Denmark. Since we docked a ways from town, we took the Hop-on, Hop-off bus around town. We visited the Rock Church, the Sibelius Monument and other interesting sights.
Our last stop was Stockholm. Since I had been involved with the Stockholm Junior Water Prize for many years, I was anxious to see the city. I wasn’t disappointed. I just wish we had more than 7 hours to see a city full of interesting sights. We spent the morning at the Royal Palace, watching the changing of the Guard and a military parade. We saw the royal jewels and several museums. Pat wanted to go to an Ice Bar. It was cool! After two more days at sea, we were back in Dover.
