Stockholm Central Station
On the sidewalk, just outside of Stockholm Central Station, we spotted a pair of ducks, calmly sleeping on the sidewalk in a very small puddle of water. I know that Stockholm is a pedestrian friendly city, but this may be … Continue reading
I’m Not Making This Up

Budapest – Day 2
We disembarked today and took a taxi to our hotel, since we will spend a few more days in Budapest. We considered walking – it was only 15-20 minutes to the hotel, but we had our luggage, and we thought … Continue reading
Budapest
Our river cruise is coming to an end with our arrival in Budapest early today. We spent the day getting an introduction to the city and its history. And we learned how the city’s name should be pronounced. I’ll give … Continue reading
