On our third leg of our
Scandinavian City journey we reached Stockholm.
It is a pretty city that is clean, spacious and relatively new, other
than Old Town. We began our day with a
walking tour. The guide shared lots of
history about how Stockholm came about, the various Kings and Queen of
Sweden. She also shared about how IKEA
started and the H&M stores. We
learnt about the current royal family and how they actually have no Swedish
decent in their blood. After the tour we
watched the changing of the guards at the Palace, this time the guards had a
band that marched in front of them so that was a nice change. The flag was flying at the Palace which apparently means the King was there, but we didn't see him :) Next we headed for Old Town and the
Cathedral. It is becoming obvious that
we have visited our fair share of palaces, cathedrals and castles, we were all
just happy to look from the outside. We
enjoyed wondering through the streets and choosing some souvenirs.
