Leo had to get me out of Sweden before I went too native.
At the Skansen Folkmuseet
When we purchased our tickets for the Finnlines ferry from Stockholm to Turku, Finland, we didn't expect to be the only tourists. But when we arrived at the terminal we were the only passenger vehicle to be seen amidst a sea of transport trucks.
We convened in the drivers lounge to a hearty (read heavy) breakfast in the company of truck drivers from all over Europe.
Only a short portion of the trip was across open water; most of the time we were travelling between small, low lying islands. There were groups of whooper swans all the way, with some ducks and cormorants. The highlight for us was when a migrating sparrow hawk hovered over the ship, ready land, until he realized we weren't an island and continued on his way south.
Cute! Until I noticed the elegant hands with long slim Swedish fingers I thought they were letting you dress up in the costumes ;) Sybille
