Monday June 25, 2012 Day 3
After getting on the bus again, our sit downs are getting very used to these seats.  We traveled to the country side and visited the Vaxholm community and took a boat out to the fort.






 The fort was built to protect Stockholm from invasions from the North including Russia. We are looking at a deep water channel and had to take a boat to get out to the fort.











We climbed 93 steps to get out on the top.  The wind was blowing and wanted to rain and the umbrella turned inside out, we had to throw it away.

After this we went to board the ship.  This was quite a process by the time we checked our luggage and went through two security check points, we also had to show our passports each time.  We finally made it to our room. This is the Vision of the Seas, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.   We were on the 7th deck with an open balcony, nice!!!!  If you look close you can see our room, we are the second one back from the front, bottom row of small windows.




Once aboard we set sail for Helsinki, Finland.  We had to move our clocks ahead one hour, again.
