Visby

On our cruise, we are stopping at Visby, Sweden, a little island in the Stockholm archipelago. Apparently the whole island can be walked in about an hour.

Copenhagen

After our cruise, we have a day to enjoy Copenhagen. We are staying at the Nimb hotel, which is right next to the Tivoli gardens. From our room, we will be able to look out the window onto the gardens.












The gardens at night are apparently quite beautiful. The company that owns our hotel also owns the gardens, so we will have free admission and a very short walk :-)














Copenhagen is home to a very nice museum called the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The museum has a well-rounded collection of ancient and classical art, as well as a strong section of French 19th century art (your favorite!)









A = our hotel
B = the museum.

Hurray!

The Usual Present


It wouldn't be your birthday if I didn't give you flowers (in some form or another). I know you are so sick of them, so maybe this nice virtual bouquet will do.
