The next day started with, of course, breakfast. Breakfast was accompanied by some night birds.
016

I've decided to visit Drottningholm (yes, I looked up the correct spelling). There is a boat going back and forth; two boats, to be correct. So, I went to board the first one. On the way I've noticed a burglar running.
017

I think somebody was a bit annoyed our boat was moving past.
018

We've met the second boat, which was going back. I would later board it as well to return to Stockholm.
019

This is the Drottningholm palace.
020

The weather wasn't quite good, but I still went to the park first, saving the palace for later.
021

I was right. The park proved to be charming.
022

There is a so-called "Chinese pavillion" in the park.
023

It's not very exciting on the inside. Well, neither is it on the outside.
024

Although one particularly dark corner of it is somewhat amusing.
025

Strangely, the park was almost completely empty.
026

I'm sure that if I lived nearby, I would be visiting every day.
027

Probably won't make selfies every day though.
028

Then I went to the palace.
029

It was also guarded by some kittens.
030

The palace was the opposite to the park — crowded, but boring.
031

Well, there were some kittens inside too.
032

I've decided to visit the theater near the palace last. As I had some time, I walked a bit more around the buildings.
033

And found some more wildlife, that seems to think it's their home. They are probably correct.
034

The scenery is just gorgeous.
035

I don't think it can every stop being new and exciting.
036

Despite being close to civilized areas.
037

The theater is also guarded by kittens.
038

People are only allowed inside the theater in groups, following a guide.
039

Inside the theater there is a lot of painted wood. According to the guide, the royal family didn't have enough money to buy some real marble.
040

And after the theater I went back to Stockholm. On the way we, of course, met the first boat, making another trip to Drottningholm.
041

I didn't notice it at first, but there is some weird thing under the bridge here. It's not connected to the shore.
042

Almost back.
043

I didn't go to the hotel immediately, but walked around a little more. Yes, there is an owl.
044

Another body of water. They are really everywhere in Stockholm.
045

Just an interesting entrance.
046

Children's playground.
047

Another part of the playground; instead of pushing the ground, the kids can pretend they are riding a bicycle.
048

No idea what's that supposed to be.
049

Just to give some idea about how non-flat is the city.
