Cold and rainy walking tour

5.00Blue skies were never going to appear on the morning of our walking tour in Gamla Stan, regardless of the cold and rain it did not get in the way of the tour, although it was difficult to talk to fellow visitors. Our female guide was knowledge and engaging and spoke loud enough for the group to hear, navigated the large group through the narrow streets and welcomed questions from the group. The starting point at the entrance to a metro was relatively easy to find. The tour finished a short walk away from the Royal Palace where we were able to rush over to catch the changing of the guards.
We enjoyed a lot...
