Stockholm

Well loyal followers, my time in Sweden is almost up. Today is our last full day and after breakfast in the morning we're headed to the train station and on to Copenhagen. Our first night was pretty uneventful, mainly because we were all pretty tired and off, (plus we had no idea where we were going) lol.

Yesterday morning we went on a walking tour of Old Town and got to hear a bit of the history of Stockholm then headed out to the Vasa Museum which was built around an old warship that sunk on her maiden voyage before it ever got out of the bay and was found 333 years later. We wandered Old Town a little bit more after the museum and at dinner time, which was fun since we could go slower and take more time looking around and taking pictures than we could with the tour guide rushing us on. lol

Today we went out to City Hall and saw where they have the banquet after the Nobel Prize awards every year and looked around, then headed out to Drottningholm Palace and explored a bit. We didn't have as much time as we wanted before the bus was supposed to come pick us up to go back to the hotel though, so a few of us branched off from the group and stayed so we could look around at the gardens and such. The Palace was gorgeous inside AND out, but they wouldn't let us take pictures inside so none of y'all will get to see the inside....sorry! We had our first experience with public transportation to get back and rode the bus and the metro. Luckily everyone here speaks English and is really nice and helpful since we had no idea where we were or were going and couldn't exactly read the maps at all. lol We're taking a little rest break now before heading out for some souvenir shopping and dinner so I thought I'd update since my pictures took so long to upload yesterday that I didn't have time or energy to post.

Adjö,

Julianna
