Reading this thread of comments make me feel like an idiot.

I live in Stockholm and curiously enough – if I read the map correctly – I'm even very close to where the Vasa sank. My favorite means of transport into central Stockholm is via ferry. One of the stops is a very short walk from the Vasa museum. It takes me probably all of 30 minutes door-to-door to get there.

I love museums. I love history. I love anything maritime. One of my favorite museum visits when i lived in London was the national maritime museum in Greenwich.

Alas, I've never been to the Vasa museum.

Fortunately, it's an easy problem to solve – I'll go next week. Thanks for (unintentionally) kicking me into gear, much obliged!



I lived in Los Angeles for more than five years before accidentally seeing the Hollywood sign. (The Vasa is much better.)


I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I've lived in London for about 20 years and really must get around to visiting St Paul's Cathedral one of these days :)


Oh, I am jealous of what you will experience when you go next week!
