2018-08-25 Vasa

Today the group went to the most visited museum in Scandinavia.  The group was excited.  They got there early and successfully navigated the rail, metro and a tram.  They were going to the Vasa Museum.   Hot Diggity Dog!

Historical moment:  The Vasa set sail on her maiden voyage on August 10, 1628 from Stockholm.   At the time, she was the most powerfully armed warship in the world, with 64 bronze cannons. Twenty minutes into her journey, the ship was hit by two strong winds. It heeled to port, water gushed in, and the ship sank less than a mile into the journey.  (Talk about a bad day.  The ship sank in front of the king and all the people that came to see it off).  Turns out that the ship was top heavy.  In 1961, the ship was salvaged after it was under water for 333 years.  The Vasa Museum displays the Vasa.  The ship was rebuilt inside the museum.    The ship is awesome.  The group went wild taking pictures.  You may not want to mention anything about the Vasa because they might get excited and never stop talking about it.

They did have one incident where Debbie and Larry were kicked out of the bathroom line.  No, they did not do anything wrong but the man decided to clean the bathroom just as they got to the door.  Joyce pretended that she did not understand, ran around the cleaner and locked herself in the stall.  Debbie and Larry, sadly, had to go to the back of the other line.   They were not happy.  The cleaner got the stink eye.

Joyce made friends with a survey lady who recommended lunch on the canal.  The four ate in a gazebo by the canal.  Joyce went all in for the Swedish meatballs.   Debbie fell back to her standby of pizza.  (Remember she is on a quest to eat pizza across Europe.)

The next stop was Skansen which is an open air museum.   Think of a Swedish Williamsburg without so many employees.    As they left, a “hop on hop off” bus came by.  The group hopped on and were happily riding  until the bus reached the end of the line and told everyone to exit the bus.  They didn’t really want to stay anyway because the bus kept playing classical music which made some people sleepy.

  1. Hmmmm. The Vasa and certain plants we have seen go up have something in common. Actually, that ship looks pretty amazing. I would have liked to see the crowds’ faces when it sank.

    1. Very astute observation but we exited the ship in time. The king must have really been upset watching all that money sink. They had an inquiry and decided that it was no one’s fault. I was pretty impressed with that. The museum did say that no one would tell the king because they were afraid. Ever been in a meeting like that before?
