Jack and Katrina's Place

Hi All, we are now actually safely back in Wellington New Zealand, but we didn't have any internet access there for a while so I'll pick up the story again from Stockholm.

We had only three days in Stockholm and what a wonderful three days they were. Long warm summer days, the city looked really beautiful and I envied these guys going for a kayak through the city after work. Stockholm is built on a very unique site, where the series of lakes in the interior of Sweden connect to the deeply indented coastline. The town is built where the freshwater flows out into the slightly saltier sea over a series of rapids. This is where I am standing with the backpack, Guy was having a sleep shaded from the bright northern sun.

While we were in Stockholm we were fortunate to be able to stay with our family's Swedish friends Andrejs and Lars. Having such hosts made it soo much easier for us to get quickly settled in and orientated. Guy of course made friends quickly and is enjoying a bounce on Andrejs's knee.
