10th July - Around the Home of ABBA, Vikings, Volvo & Ikea


Stockholm is beautiful! Made up of islands linked by bridges, the locals even fish for salmon on the steps outside the Royal Palace. The people are friendly, open-minded, cultured & laid back. It feels nice here.
On my first day, I took the free 45-min boat canal trip I got with my Stockholm card & it was pretty nice for a very touristy thing to do. I also visited the National Museum (wonderful art) & the Royal Palace (Royal Apartments, Treasury, & Museum tre Kronor) which were splendid to see.
Surprisingly, I was charged 15 Krona (about A$3) for a glass of tap water with dinner - unbelievable! It's so bloody expensive over here in Scandinavia!!
