After a few relaxing days at Petter's cabin, we headed onward to get a taste of big city life---STOCKHOLM!
Martin turned 30 while we were in town, and we celebrated with a
delicious dinner at
Gondolen, a fancy restaurant with a killer view of
the city.
The dinner was amazing, but the highlight of the birthday festivities for me was the night before when we stumbled across some live music at a Irish pub.
As midnight approached, Lars and I got a round of Jager Bombs and an awesome note taped to Martin's back to get the party rollin'.
It worked--Martin got three generations worth of kisses and shots given
to him by complete strangers. He didn't have a clue until we mentioned
that it might have something to do with the message on his back! ;)
I could have
lived in this city. Easily.
Cantineros (such good mojitos!), Grill, and Gondolen are restaurants I can recommend!
I also recommend eating multiple ice cream cones from Gamle Stan. The smell of fresh waffle cones is irresistible.
And, the
Vasa Museum is definitely worth your time! It's the most visited museum in Scandinavia and was easily one of the coolest museums I have ever been to. It houses an old ship that was dragged up from the depths after it sat on the ocean floor. Really cool. And educational.
Stockholm is a gorgeous place--I definitely recommend making the trip if you have the opportunity.
