Mohr Scandic Tour 2009...STOCKHOLM!
So here we are....STOCKHOLM! The Mohr crew made it over here and we have been having a GREAT TIME!! It is only our second day (and a half) and already have done so much in Stockholm. Here is a brief summary so far. I have some time this morning so I want to keep up as much as possible. Sounds like there is some parade going on outside our hotel room right now?!?!
5.20pm I arrive in Stocholm
7.00pm John, Joy and Monica arrive in Stockholm.
Välkomen till Sverige!!!
The rental car and driving experience in Sweden.
After finding the rental car place, we got our car and began our drive into the city. John had googled the directions and with my navigation skills (haha) we arrived at the Hotel Bema with no problems. We didn't even get lost! NICE!!
Our hotel is about a 10 minute walk right into the center of city and 20 min walk to Gamla Stan. After settling into our hotel, Jonas arrived and meet the family. He was our designated tour guide for the Stockholm part of our trip. That night we did a nice walk into the city and then a quick pass-by Gamla Stan. We ate dinner right by the water and by that time it was almost 10pm. Still bright outside!! At dinner we talked a bit about what to do the next day, planned the day, walked home and went to bed.
The next day we began at 8.30am. Had a nice breakfast at the hotel and began our journey down by the water. The weather was great in the morning and the sun was shinning bright! Just not the warmest though. We decided we would take the boat tour. The boat tour is some sight-seeing around about 6 of the islands in Stockholm. It was absolutely gorgeous on this trip!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! We saw a lot of great things and a great way to show the beauty of Stockholm by the water.
On the Sight-Seeing boat
What tourist we have here :-)
Joy checking out the Royal Castle
After the boat tour, we walked into Gamla Stan to watch the Changing of the Guard.
Monica really loving this one!!
In Gamla Stan!
Eating at Pontus! Right off the water!! Great view and great idea Jonas!!
Our walk to a pretty view of Stockholm!
How beautiful!!
Anna met up with us at lunch and then joined us for the walk. Here we are at the top of the hill looking over Stockholm!
FIKA in Gamla Stan!! FIKA, FIKA; FIKA
Beautiful picture of a guy painting!
THE CLASSIC!!!
We also went to see the Vasa Museum. After that, Monica and I walked back to the hotel (which at that point took us about 40 min), while John and Joy went to Skansen.
We all met up again for dinner and ate a place just a block from our hotel, Drottninggatan Restaurang!
First day was great!!
Today Monica and I will hit the shopping while John and Joy will visit a couple of museums, including the Nordic and Armory. I think we will meet for lunch and then leave to board our cruise aroun 3.00pm. We depart for Helsinki around 5pm I believe. Then tomorrow...aka my birthday!!...we will spend it in Helsinki all-day!! Should be great!!
Talk to you soon!!
KRAM!!!
