I spent the last couple days in Stockholm, Sweden doing what I do best: Walking around all day, getting lost, finding a park to nap in, and learning a thing or two about history. My hostel was located in Old Town Stockholm, a centrally located island that was a good base point to explore from. Stockholm consists of a bunch of islands and about 10 times as many bridges! Most all of them led to the old town island, so I was usually able to make it back just fine. The city was always buzzing, with boats coming in and out of the many harbors. I took a boat ride yesterday to an island called Birka, an old Viking town. While there wasn’t too much to see there, the tour guide told us a lot about the history and the ride there and back was beautiful and peaceful.
Like everywhere in Scandanavia, Sweden was very expensive, so, besides the Swedish meatballs, I had to stick to the trusty grocery store cuisine: bananas, apples, bread, and beans…mmmmm
Headed to Norway next!
