Stockholm, Sweden

So far this is my favorite city I have stopped in! When I looked out my window I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was! I went on a tour in the morning “The Best of Stockholm” which took us on a tour of the city via bus, stopped at a viewpoint, and visited city hall and the Vasa Museum. The Vasa Museum was unbelievable, all based on the wreckage of a great Boat the king had ordered built, which sunk while only 20 minutes into its journey. They recovered it from the ocean after over 300 years and house the original here. It was so interesting, I just could not believe my eyes really. Very cool! Later Nikki and I met up and went on a tour of the Absolut Ice Bar! They put us in furry winter coat like ponchos and gloves, and we were served vodka in a glass made of ice. I was wearing flip flops so my feet were freezing, but it was still really neat! Later we shopped around a bit, Sweden has some amazing shopping streets, and I had some Swedish Meat Balls! Yay! Sweden is absolutely gorgeous, a city made up of a bunch of islands. When we sailed away, passed the archipelagoes, it really reminded me of the Gulf Islands! If the tax wasn’t the highest in the world, I could definitely live here! Stunning!!!
