Our return Ferry from Drottningholm Palace back to Stockholm was worth its own post. Normally, I wouldn’t think that a 50 minute ferry ride back the same route would need a second post but this one deserved it.

We took the Drottningholm Ferry which was built in 1909. It’s in the first photo and this was before we boarded it, in Stockholm. But this was the ferry that we took for the ride from Drottningholm back to Stockholm.

You can see Vicky getting ready for a glass of wine on the ride back in the second photo.

The third photo is very near Drottningholm Palace as we started back. You can see that this area of the islands is quite rural in character. I think the yellow area is a farmed area with a crop of either mustard or rape seed.

Once again I will tell you that this trip had more good meals in peculiar places than perhaps any other trip we’ve taken. We had perhaps three lunches in museums for instance and all were good. In this case, we had lunch on the way back to Stockholm aboard the Drottningholm Ferry. I had low expectations but I was wrong to have had them. Our lunch aboard the ferry was excellent. Everything was specially prepared and they did an excellent job.

Our first course was a salmon salad which you can see in the photo below. It was excellent and I cleaned my plate.

Next we had Herring over potatoes with salad and lingonberries, photo below. It was very good as well and I again cleaned my plate.
