Stockholm, Sweden

During our stay in Malmo, Sweden..Tom and moi spent a couple of days up in Stockholm...The capital of Sweden and a truly beautiful city...

Thank goodness his brother, Micke and his fiancee agree to put us up at their place for that 3days! Woo hoo~

Early in the morning at 5am... two sleepyheads need to catch the 7am train!!
Tom is kind enough to make us both some sandwiches for our 4hours trip to Stockholm...

The four hours train path to Stockholm~

DAY 1 in Stockholm

While Malmo is raining and overcast, Stockholm is bright and sunny!!
Totally opposite weather!
I must admit that Stockholm is a really beautiful city (as most European cities do). It's modern and yet there's a certain old charm to it. One of the "not to be miss" touristy attraction, Vasa museum. Vasa is a warship, built for Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden 1626-1628. She foundered and sank after sailing only a mile into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. It was relocated in the late 1950s and salvaged with a largely intact hull on 24 April 1961.
Dinner was at this pizza joint that probably sell the biggest pizzas.
And it comes in just one size i.e super super large
When the guy brought the pizza over to our table, I was like "You ordered two pizzas?"
Tom said "No, i just ordered one!"

That me with my half pizza.Me with Rubik's cubes...Seriously, I'm so mystified how anyone could like twist that into the perfect cube i.e same colours at each side. Micke tried to explain to moi (apparently there's like some ways to do it) but i think i got lost at: step1
In fact, Moi managed to get one side of all whites at some point in time (jumping all around the room in joy) only to have Micke telling moi that it's not the correct way.
DARN!! -_-

*throw the Rubik's cube out of the window*
Hmmphhhhffff
DAY 2 in Stockholm

*No photos*

?????

Yesh!! Forgetful moi left the camera in Tom's brother place!
Couldnt take photos of the nice old town in the city.
Sniffies~ and Tom had to keep reminding me about it...DUH~

Back at Micke's place, The three of us decided to have a barbecue dinner!!

Moi cutting the veggies
While Micke put the potatoes into the oven.
TOM, Please make yourself useful too :P
Please don't ask moi how the onions ended up on the grass
In the end, moi had to be the one putting the veggies on to the grill cos the two big macho GUYS are afraid of the fire.
*rolled eyes*
Finally our Dear old Tom making himself usefulErmmm....what's with the smoke all of a sudden?
Yesh! Tom and his "cooking" skills....kakaka
We had so much fun!!!! And surprisingly, the food turn out quite well...Though burned in some places.....DAY 3 in Stockholm

Time to head back to Malmo...and taking the tireless 4hours journey back.
Photo for keepsake
I would love to come back here soon...
