Stockholm story


Stockholm Posted by Picasa

"The trip to Stockholm was lovely! I had such a good time. We went to Stockholm on a weekend, from Thursday to Sunday. 2 nights on the road: Thursday night on train to Copenhagen and then bus to Stockholm.We arrived in Stockholm on Friday morning at 6:30 am. Took the metro T-bana ("the banana") to our island. We had breakfast at McDonalds. I had tea and sandwich+cookies. Delicious! After breakfast we went to leave our luggages at the hostel, Abbes Hostel on Skepsbron Street, just near the harbor.Then we started on the nicest pre-planned adventure. Seven people, childish and mature, Latins and one Indian, funny, friendly, cool and each special in his own way.We took the ferry from Gamla Stan (Old Town island) to Djugarden. There we visited Vasa Ship Museum and Nordiska Museum.At around 3pm we took the bus back to "our island". We had a fast lunch at the hostel, boiled eggs and sandwiches as I remember. Then left again to the city, wandered on the streets of the Old Town, took photos with the sunset, with a guard from the Royal palace, group pictures and group hugs.We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I had fried rice. They gave us free lemonade (with tap water of course, but tap water is delicious in Scandinavia).After dinner, we split in two. I went with Mario, Eugenia, Eduard and Andreia for a walk, to find the IceBar. We were planning to go there that night. Mohan and Fabi went to the hostel to rest for a bit. Also, Bobby was alone and "grandpa" (Mohan) had to take care of him/it. If you want to know who Bobby is, read Mario's Blog :))We were nuts :) we played football with a can in the street. Then we "visited" the fanciest hotels and pretended we wanted rooms, asked for price, sat in the lounge. We had twix bars in 7-eleven (4 stk for 20kr, that's 5kr each). Then we met Fabi and went to the IceBar.IceBar is a nice place. You paid to "freeze your ass" :), but it was worth it. At least we think so. We had cocktails in ice glasses, took dozens of photos with ice sculptures until we couldn't feel out hands on the cameras. Crazy people. Cool place in both senses of the word!"
