Let's take a break from Stockholm.  I think I am going to go back to shaking it up a bit and writing about my last two trips in no particular order.  Hey, the way our world is right now with Covid-19 we need all the little changes and excitement we can get!    The International Volkssport club I belong to has map walks all over the world.  I've done the London walks multiple times.  It's crazy but I didn't do the one in Bath; don't ask me why.  Next time!  I had printed off the walk instructions before I left home so on January 2nd I set off on the twenty-minute train trip to Bristol from Bath.  The walk began at Temple Meads station so it worked out perfectly.  The walk was 12 km and I wasn't sure I'd be able to walk that long however I was going to give it a good try!  The walk went through the back of the railway station and onto the pathway beside the river Avon.  The path then curved to the right still following the river and meander

There are around 20,000 in Sweden.    The folk art was beautiful.   My pictures were absolute sh*t - anyway above is what is called an Angel cupboard due to the Angel near the top.  I really enjoyed the Nordic museum and I would go back.  Next up was the Viking museum!   Now this was a museum for the
