More Photos!
We finally got down to touring Stockholm yesterday; and it was a very lazy, relaxed and carefree Saturday afternoon. Thank goodness the weather held out (cos it seemed as if it was gonna rain when we were leaving Lappis) and it wasn't too hot or too cold. ;)
We actually hopped onto random buses which brought us around Stockholm, into the neighbourhoods and not to anywhere in particular. Got off as and when we liked and walked around the areas...
I think the thing about Stockholm is that there isn't any particular landmark which MUST be seen (unlike say Paris or Rome etc...) therefore, having a relaxed, nothing-in-particular-to-see mindset and walking around the different areas in Stockholm is the best way to enjoy this place. For you'll then be pleasantly surprised by what you see. :)
Stockholmers really know how to take it slow and enjoy life. Check out the numerous benches where people just sit and do absolutely nothing. Being puzzled by how they can just sit there and stone, me and Shu sat there too. And really, 1 hour past by in a flash, as we sat there people-watching.
We were just taking buses to nowhere when we saw this long flight of stairs and I suggested getting off the bus to take a look at what was at the top. Turns out to be an attraction - this photo explains why the place is special.
The slanting house
Shu in front of one of the houses
Bird's eye view of Stockholm. Stockholm's made up of 7 (i think) main islands all connected to each other by bridges.
Walking along one of the many "bridges" in Stockholm.
A church in Gamla Stan (Stockholm's Old Town)
The interior
The Royal Palace - Sweden has a King (or Queen) though they are just representatives of the people and are actually powerless. (Sounds familiar...)
Whilst walking, we saw a huge crowd of people by the water. So being kpo Singaporeans, we walked over to see what was happening. Turned out to be a Mercury F2000 race (Scandinavian powerboat racing - the equivalent of F1, albeit on water). It was quite exciting and very interesting. We were lucky to catch the Stockholm leg of the race. Though the commentary was in Swedish and we really didn't understand who was what etc...
Stockholm!
