Djurgarden

Skansen, the Nordic museum and the Vasa museum were all on an island called Djurgarden. From our hotel there was a lovely waterfront walk along a street called the Strand to get there.

Buildings along the Strand. Apparently this is the place to live in Stockholm.

Rosendals, one of the Royal palaces, was also on Djurgarden. They had a lovely garden but it was too early in the season and very little was growing. This stone sheep is sitting in an orchard.

The garden also had a shop and a cafe. I walked around this island on Monday and discovered how many things were closed Mondays.
