I´m in a travelling mood today! Unfortunately its not possible for me to travel around the world today, but one can always dream :)

So why not post as many photos as possible of other people travelling!
But just photos where you can actually see where they are. Like the one of the royal couple at Taj Mahal, Victoria outside the Operahouse in Sydney...

I´m sure there are many such photos!
 
Lets start when the most recent ones, Victoria outside the Opera house in Sydney in March 2005!

But I´m sure there are people who can!

4. Victoria in Kosovo in august(?) 2002.
I dont know the exact location... anyone?

5-7. No place like home :)

Victoria photographed in the Castle of Borgholm on Öland. Its the summer of 1995, just a few days after her 18th birthday

...and strolling with her beloved Daniel almost 10 years later, a late evening in the summer of 2004

8. Victoria with former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildth in New York, USA. This must have been june/july 2000. It was in Battery park during the celebrations of midsummer.

1-2. The whole royal family spent a wonderful holiday together in Brazil, in 2002. They went down the Amazon river and stayed at Ariaú Jungle Tower close to Manaus. Here´s the hotel! http://www.ariautowers.com/

3-4. The royal couple, Victoria and Carl Philip went to Ibiza in june 1995. I dont know anything more about that trip but anyway, here they are in a harbour in Ibiza!

5-6. In December 2003, just before Queen Silvias 60th birthday, the whole family stayed at the famous Ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi in northern Sweden.

The whole hotel is made of ice and because of that, it has to be completely rebuilt every year.

7-9.the King, the Queen, Madeleine and Carl Philip in Thailand in january 2003.
I think this was in Patong Beach(?)
They sailed around the Thai islands on the ship Star Clipper.

Thank you Yennie for the great photos. They sure have been to some amazing places. My favourite photos are from their visit to the Ice Hotel (how nice would it be to go there?) and the ones from Brazil (they looked like they did some serious hiking or trekking through the jungle, judging from their attire :p).
 
nice pics Yennie ^___^ is princess victoria still in Australia? I haven't really heard much of her stay in Australia...
 
I love the yellow dress Victoria is wearing in front of the Opera House ^___^ This is one of the advantages of being a royal....you get to travel all the time! ^___^
 
1-2. The royal couple at Taj Mahal in India in 1993

3-4. Silvia and Carl Gustaf in China

5. The King and Queen at Royal Ascot, England on June 18 2002

6. Victoria in St Petersburg... I think it was either 2002 or 2003?

Thank you for posting all these photographs Yennie.
 
In 1992 the royal couple travelled to Egypt with a group of Swedes who were celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Traveller´s Club. The royal couple were able to relax and enjoy themselves like any other tourists.

This photo shows the King and Queen on the the royal airplane on which they travels around the world. (its the states actually but the RF use´s it)
Photo taken late 1970´s/early 80´s

aha, I see. I had no idea. thanks ursulajohanna!
 
Hi everybody, I´ve found a picture, not really of travelling all over the world, but to Germany :) and there to Prinz Leopald from Bavaria, the godfather of Carl Philip.

And it´s about the hobby of the two men in the swedish royal family, better known as Bernadotte :D

The picture shows Leopold from Bavaria and Carl Gustav motorracing.
I hope I´m right here with this picture, left Leopold, right Carl Gustav

Yes, there was some photos of her at Yale. But most of the time the press left her alone there


photos from se & hör, aftonbladet and olycom

I dont think the identity of her friends there was revealed. But I´m sure she has contact with some of them...

In 2001 there was photos of her and a male friend walking in Stockholm, and according to the magazines they went to Yale together, but I dont know if that´s true

this is the picture, scanned from Svensk Damtidning


Kenya, december 1995...
Has anyone seen this photo in better quality? Its so tiny here :)

This one is from a birthday special in Expressen, at the time for the Kings 50th birthday
