Vasamuseet

This ship was meant to be used in the war against Poland. It had elaborate carvings and more canons than any other ship of the time. Unfortunately it was poorly balanced and sank in the harbor of its maiden voyage. It was unearthed in great condition in the 1960s.

Stonehenge Pit-stop

When you live in England, you sometimes pass Stonehenge on the highway.

St. Michael's Mount

At low tide you can walk to the island. It was originally built as a abbey by the same order that built Mont Saint Michel in France. It was later turned into a castle.
