Stockholm

High costs aside, Stockholm is a great city to visit. It is just the right size to be able to explore in a few days; different islands with their own subcultures, it is very clean and the seamless combination of classic and modern architecture gives you something new every time you look up.

Visited the Vasa Museum where a 350 year old shipwreck has been put back together from pieces scattered across the Stockholm Harbour. The then king built the giant warship to invade his cousin in Poland, but it sunk after 30 minutes of sailing.

Walked accross rhe city to the residential island Södermalm through the old town to have dinner with Rach's second cousin Andreas. Dinner in a local restaurant in the middle of a village of appartments was a great night out.

Local architecture/ good thing we did not send our jackets back home/ upmarket ikea- please come to Aus!
