Sat 14: Stockholm
The day dawned bright and clear and off we set being driven by Lawrence 60km to Uppsala which is a University city.  Our point of interest was the Uppsala Cathedral which was built as from 1270 and consecrated around 1435 after almost 200 years' work. It is the largest church in the Nordic countries and is just as high as it is long  - approximately  118 meters. The height of the ceiling above the central aisle is 26.6metres. It is built in the shape of a cross. As well as the splendour of the ornamentation, we miraculously encountered  the organist rehearsing, and then to add to the feast, the choir assembled for a rehearsal. Just spell-binding.

We wandered around the environment and along the weir.

Then we drove to Skokloster to a museum for Peter to enjoy an aviation collection only to discover it shifted some 15 years ago. However  it did offer us a church which was authorized by King Knut. The building of it only took from 1229 - 1234. That was not as ornate but still fascinating  to experience.

After an ice cream we drove to Sigtuna which is the oldest operating town in Sweden. Unfortunately we arrived after everything had closed but it was still fascinating to see.

We were four tired travellers by the end of the day the temperature of which had risen to 30C.
