It’s about time I got around to posting these… wouldn’t you say? I’m sort of indifferent to Stockholm. It’s a beautiful city, but very expensive (like the rest of Scandinavia), the shopping wasn’t great (no big surprise), and it’s not different enough from Copenhagen to make me want to revisit. As a tourist, I don’t… Continue Reading

We were supposed to have a day at the Louvre, but as… Continue Reading
