Stockholm Sweden.

Yes, it’s been a while since my last blog. I was a bit under the weather

But here we go again . I still have photo’s from our last cruise around the Baltic sea. This time I want to show photo’s of beautiful Stockholm, Sweden.

Swedens capital city spreads out over 14 islands in lake Malearen and looks out to the Baltic sea.

And this is what I want to show today, not the old city but just some of the islands and the beautiful sights .

 

 

 

 

 

 

To live here would be a dream. The clean air , the peace and quiet. Wonderful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ferry , much needed if you live on one of the islands.

Thank you to the hosts.

still more trip photo’s.

 

 

One more set of photo’s from that beautiful little part of our country just north of Amsterdam.

Today back to Durgerdam .

 

This lovely building once used to be a school and a townhall. These days it is a home that you can rent for a lot of money , but then of course you have something very special and directly at the lake.

 

Houses along the dyke.

Lots of blue in this post for Blue Monday with Smiling Sally.

 

So good to be on your bike on a sunny day .

 

 

More old houses and look at the front , these two neighbors both have a rabbit cage in their front garden.

and on the other side of the street you see this, down here

What better to dry your goods than sun and wind.

 

 

And what a view these people have when sitting in their front gardens.

More summer trip.

 

Last Sunday we visited our friends who have a summerhouse in a tiny lovely little village called Holysloot . There is only one street there and most of the houses are situated at the water. It is quiet and serene there and what is so special it is only a few miles north from busy city Amsterdam.

Wonderful to be there.

 

 

This is a bike and hikers ferry and as you can see it was a beautiful day.

 

 

 

 

The end of a beautiful day.

Reflections in every photo.

Wednesday.

 

Last Sunday we visited our friends who have a summer house in the country just outside the city of Amsterdam. On our way there we visited a lovely little village called Durgerdam that is stretched along a dyke at the lake IJmeer part of the IJsselmeer lake.

 

Nothing better than sun and wind for drying the laundry.

 

Just watching

 

and there it is

 

 

Beautiful weather for sailing on the lake.

 

so nice and peaceful.

 

Resting behind the dyke.
