The highlight of today was a visit to the Vasamuseet which is a museum built around a 17th century warship built by King Gustav Adolphus to fight in the wars against his cousin, deposed king of Sweden, current king of Poland. Unfortunately, this huge and ornately decorated ship sank only about a kilometer after first setting sail. Due to the lack of shipworms (the kind that eat wood under water) in the Baltic, the ship was preserved for almost 330 years before it was resurrected from the mud and restored into the museum. Very cool.

We also took a boat tour which allowed us to view many of the islands which make up the city of Stockholm, all diverse, with different communities physically separated.
