Stockholm, Sweden


June.01. Stockholm, Sweden. 0600hr. We stayed at Eriksgatan Hostel, I slept and recover from the bus Ride while Raymond was working. Hostel has neatlaunches with colorful leather seats, spacious kitchen, plenty of pots and pans, no breakfast, but FREE internet in the room and in the lobby. One can buy combination ticket for both Stockholm and Helsinki, Bus combine 2 cities SEK 340.

Walked down the river “Riddarfjarden”. Take pictures even though it’s a cloudy day. Visited Stadshuset (the city Hall), walked across the Vasabron Bridge and end up at the old city. Walked across Norrbro Bridge where the shopping strip went passed Kungstrad garden (Kungstradgarden – old and new part of Stockholm, the Park) and rushed to Skasen “theme park” by bus. Vasa Museum, Nordic museum, Junibacken story book museum, Skasen open air museum, containing historic buildings, a zoo, terrarium, folk dance performances etc. What a long walking day. Very tired but very happy.
