Gripsholms Slott
Today I just made the short drive from Stockholm down to Mariefred and the Gripsholm Castle.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gripsholm_Castle The castle‘s history goes back to the 1370s and today is one of Sweden‘s eleven Royal Castles.

Northbound – Leg 1
“I’ve got my ticket for the long way ‘round, The one with the prettiest of views: It’s got mountains, it’s got rivers, it’s got sights that’ll give you shivers, But it sure would be prettier with you!” I’m on the Stena Scandinavica heading to Göteborg. It’s chilly on deck and I’m going to have breakfast…
