Vikings
I loved reading this Bob, especially the bit with the fates of the Viking kings and noblemen - goodness, what ends these people met with. I learned similar stories from the sagas of the Faroe Islands and Iceland. The Vikings were fascinating people, and I'm certainly going to look up the series "Norsemen". I recognise the burial mounds, the Odinsborg Restaurant where I also had lunch, and the Stockholm City Hall, from my own visit there a few years ago. So nice to connect the dots in our travels. I imagine you're well into researching your East European ancestral history now, it must be exciting to be planning another trip again. Glad you arrived home safely, and had an amazing journey it seems. Thank you for letting me follow along with you in your blogs 😊

Horse Trials Judge
Maybe a white fib, but I think I may have done similar in your position. You needed better access due to your reduced mobility from the hotel incident, and some of these jobsworths' rules and bureaucracy are just ridiculous.

Castles of Stockholm
It's nice to read your blogs. I guess you very much focused on castels and palaces on this trip. If so, I totally understand the point of doing that. I could do the same thing, and I would love it. We have written a few what we call theme blogs over the years. One of those was about palaces and castles in and around Stockholm. We published that in 2013 in case you wanty to hunt it down and have a look. /Ake
