Sweden

Friday I worked for a couple of hours before going to Sweden, me and Claire and her room mate kelli... we didnt get to the hostel until 2.30am and into bed at 3am, so woke up saturday absolutley shattered.

SATURDAY

Headed out bout 9am and caught this hop on hop off bus thing that takes you round the main harbour part. First we went to the Vasa Museum, which was of this massive ship that was iconic to Sweden - was pretty cool. Then we headed to the next little piece of land and went to the theme park, it was raining, so we went into this illusion house and then onto a rollercoaster - which was freaking scary! but so much fun!
We then were back on the boat and headed round to the other part of the city - the old town, it was still kinda wet so we went and had coffee and cake and wandered round a bit, walked past the Royal Palace and Opera

House and stuff on our walk back to the hostel.
Had dinner then got changed and went to the Stockholm Absolut Ice Bar - so cool (excuse the pun) stayed there for about 15 mins cos i was too cold, then headed to the casino - where i lost 20 Krone (bout £2) in 30 seconds a slot machine - but we had some wine and watched others waste their money!


SUNDAY
Sunday we were up at 7.30am so got almost 6 hours sleep this time and, we headed out and around the city again, went back to this little village thing, that had old swedish houses and a zoo park thing, seen some bears and wolves and these cute little baby donkeys (not in the same cages obvioulsy) hehe!
patted some cute fat pigs then wandered some more- along this boulevard that was inspired by the streets of paris and then back to the hostel to get our 7pm flight home
