Scandic Bromma

... up was done. They also had us wear some of the Russian amber that they are selling on the ship. The show was up in the one of the lounges, and after they added the mink stole, I was sure I was channeling Norma Desmond. See for yourself in the pictures.

Steph was so bored yesterday, she kept her career stable (of a Faberge Egg Historian). It was must more exciting today, so she has been inspired to become a fashion ...

... since France. It got itchy again on the way home. Not fun. I didn't really like the hostel I was in, but I hope it wasn't a bedbug or something that bit me. Either way, it's gotten more red, but for the moment I'll assume it's from my recent scratching of the area. Now, go away tiny bite of doom. Go away. Amanda, I may need your help in wishing it away. It worked when you did it for my sore throat, so cast your powers onto the random bite of doom, okay? It's definitely ...

... But definitely not worth all the hassle. My goodness. Once I had that out of my system, I headed to the more traditional Stockholm sites. First I headed right down the street from my hostel to the Kungliga Slotten, The Royal Palace. There were all sorts of different "museums" that you could pay upwards of $10-15 each to enter, the actual castle, the treasury, the dungeon, the antiquities... so, it was all included with my pass, but seriously, if I had just ...

... live in a palace on another island, but stay here when special events and dignitaries are here.) * The Royal Armory (we even saw the changing of the guard - not just the daily one, but the one that happens every 28 days to completely change all the guards on duty at the palace! Very interesting, especially when they do their funny run steps!) * The Ships Museum (Sweden's first icebreaker and lightship) * Tre Kronor Museum (the original palace, or ...

... over to charity! We ended up at the University of Stockholm, which had a really cool campus. There was a free music festival. We were surrounded by goth kids wearing black. It took me back to middle school and high school.. so I expected Marilyn Manson-esque music to take over the festival, but it wasn't meant to be. The music they played was strikingly similar to AHA!'s "take on me". The festival goers referred to it as "synth pop". How funny ...

... in a picture.. Oh maybe not. Apparently I can't until I've already written anything: Don't know how I feel about that. But I guess i have to wait and see what it looks like... until then! Oh apparently i can add photos in now. That's cool!

... location on the east coast of Sweden at the mouth of Lake Mälaren, by the Stockholm archipelago, it is widely renowned for its natural beauty. History of Stockholm The location appears in Norse sagas as Agnafit, and especially in connection with the legendary king Agne. The earliest mention of Stockholm in writing dates from 1252, when the mines in Bergslagen made it an important site in the iron trade. The first part of the name (stock) means ...

... the next hour! After a quick cup of coffee and a sugary treat we were off again! Finally we were on our way to Kvillsfors (little did Sheana know, this city is located 4 hours away from Stockholm!) So, a short 27 hours after we left Orlando, we arrived at our destination, fully rested, of course =). We made it to dinner with the Ahlqvists (A delicious roast beef and potato salad) before hitting the sack. More tommorow!

... checked in together and from the looks of the restaurant and reception area, the room should have been great. Too bad it wasn't even close to good! Jenna and Sara beat Kate and I to the door of our room and all I could hear was Sara screaming!!! and Jenna was just in shock, so Kate and I run over there to check it out and no joke, the room was no bigger then a full size bed! It had two bunk beds that had about 2 feet of room between them and the length of the room ...

... and he pointed out places worth visiting. I then went to the Info Centre to get a decent map of the city. The ones Topdeck give us are **** and made to get us lost. Then walked back to the bus and met the rest of the group. We drove to the Vasa Musuem where we were all dropped off. I spent the day sightseeing with Jen and Anita. First we went into the Vasa Musuem, which has a huge war ship that sank soon after leaving port. It sank in 1628 and was recovered in 1961. It was too ...
