... has graciously fixed for us and head downtown to the central square in Stockholm where all the diehard supporters are gathered before the game. Once again, EVERYONE knows Malin, and when she introduces me as her friend from New York who's visiting, each person who comes up to meet us buys us both a beer! The morning fades into early afternoon as I meet one Swedish football lunatic after the other and have an absolute blast. The parade starts and the ...

... a little in the hostel. Karla and I walked around the city enjoying the perfect day. We'd already seen all the tourist things so now we could stand by and watch all the new tourists in line while we enjoy coffee across the street. We relaxed and let the day slip away slowly. At 8:00pm we met up with the Californians again and had some drinks at some random bars. Apparently we went to Burger King late that night. I was informed of this when I found ketchup on my sleeve the next morning.

... found the best drinking partner on the boat, we headed off to his room for more drinks. After walking 50m my eagerness began to wane and that bed was looking more attractive, so I said 'cya mate' and high-tailed it back to our room. A few minutes later the incredibly drunk Russian was banging at our door, demanding 'his' tequila back. This woke benny up, who very politely (but firmly) told him that we were going to bed.

We think it has something to do with the fact that it only gets dark here for about 3 hours over night and the rest of the time its daylight!! Don't think our body clocks have adapted to this easily. It was Monday already and we had slept late and missed our first ferry to Ut ...

... this place must be like in July or August. We looked at exhibits with a chinese tour group, Japanese tour group and a group of local preschoolers. After taking a harbor tour we headed to the Silja Line ship to sail overnight to Helsinki. To save money we wanted to buy food before boarding the ship. We kept wondering where the grocery stores were but when we entered the subway stations we found that they were there. How effecient is that? Cruising to Helsinki The ...

... Luckily the Central (train) Station is just over the road from City Terminal, so we head over there. The Golden Arches draws us in, and we have the first of our holiday burgers :) It's ages since I had McDonalds, and my Quarter Pounder with Cheese Meal tasted all the sweeter for it. That finished we decide to head out of the station (it was about 12pm, train didn't leave until after 5pm) - just to see what's outside. We don't want to go too far a) we have 20kg of kit each to ...

... french roommate and decided the only thing to do was to sleep until morning so I took some Tylenol PM and slept for another 12 hours!! Needless to say, I am now well rested. I spent today wondering around Stockholm listening music (thoughtfully supplied for me by Will) taking pictures of stately ornate buildings that I couldn't tell you what the significance of. I had lunch in one of those cute little European ...
