... Sweden, Scandinavian salmon, breads, jams, lamb sausage, savory cheese cake, cheese cake with jam and some goat butter. Apparently a lot of people like the goat butter but I must say that is was not tasty at all!<br><br>After we had some very delicious food, Anita went to her parent's restaurant for a dinner engagement. Richard and I decided to join her and took our time heading to the restaurant while getting an overview of the city. Richard was doing ...

... town is about 5 mins walk away and the Vasa museum and Grondland (amusement park) about 10. Arrived into Stockholm about 10 and spent the day just strolling around - visited the Nobel museum, and kids played in the fountain at Krundegarden. All tired, so off to bed and all crashed by 11pm.

... cannot do it justice. Therefore I will post pics shortly. <br>Afterwards the boat trip I stop for an icecream overlooking the Stockholm harbour. It is sunny and gorgeous!! <br>I head to a few shops (H&amp;M, Zara) to get my fix before heading back to the hostel. It is the last nigth for me and some girls in my dorm, so we decide to go out for dinner to a lovely (expensive!) little Italian restaurant in Gamla Stan. What a fantastic way to end up in Stockholm!

... Michaela and myself) who all subscribed to the one language - SHOPPING. It's like shopping in a giant IKEA (only this is an entire city to explore including clothes). We still got in all the cultural sites like the palace (from the outside it is lovely) although we could not go inside as it was closed during the winter. We went to the Vasa Museum. The Vasa is the world's only surviving 17th-century ship made by the Swedish but the glorious and mighty warship suddenly sank on its ...

... he is kept warm by a scarf or a hat and may be one of the most successful panhandlers in this neck of the woods. Jim met a man in this courtyard who asked him if he spoke Swedish, he replied that he did not - in Swedish of course - that he was an American who spoke English. The next question was...McCain or Obama. Jim gave his answer and the man said he had been conducting his own poll when people passed through the courtyard and based on his ...

... invention, mais il peuvent !). Arrivée au musée d'architecture, je (re)découvre que tout ferme tôt et que donc pour l'expo ben c'est raté ! Prune m'appelle : elle me rejoint avec Tim, on va aller dans un lieu underground en banlieue sud, où sont concentrés les rares anarchistes que compte le pays et où passent 7 groupes ce soir là ! Timoté arrive ravi d'avoir pris le train, est un peu moins enthousiaste lorsqu'il s'agit d'entrer dans le petit lieu (ça fait ...

... of mother natures artistry. "Don Johnson" rewarded my hard work with an ice-cream and suggested a final walk down to the beach. Upon arrival at the beach, one can only imagine what went through "Don's" mind when the seemingly normal Sandra he invited to his summer home radically morphed into an entomologically obsessed child before his very eyes as I spent the next half hour announcing a blow by blow of the mortal struggle between a blood sucking stink bug and an unsuspecting ...

... half an hour), and then got up and looked for everyone. I figured a bar would be a logical place to find everyone, and surprisingly I found everyone enjoying a beer on the top deck! The first thing I noticed was that Troy had his ankle in a box full of ice. Earlier he had tripped up the stairs and his ankle was quite swollen! He iced it for a while, and later got it wrapped and was given crutches for the night. He was understandably irritated by the whole ...

... clock and a projection of Gene Simmons from Kiss, this is one unique place and it's easy to see why it's one of Jonna's favourite haunts. With reggae and ska music playing in the background, I enjoyed a huge mug of Earl Grey and an even bigger cinnamon bun. A great breakfast to start the day! Later on I headed to Norrmalm - mainly to check out Sverige Huset, which is the tourist office. You can never be armed with too much ...

... to stay dry, sitting the deluge out. True to his word though we were going to see Stockholm in the sunshine that afternoon. We made it down a long and winding canal that led back to the main harbour just as the rain eased, so we were left with some stunning angles and views of Stockholm that few tourists ever get to see. We cruised up and down small canals feeding ...
