Stockholm, Sweden. Monday July 16th, 2007.
Today I went swimming in Haninge at Rudans Gard. Its an outdoor recreation area with an old farm and some lakes and lots of running and hiking paths through the woods...
Some of the playing fields and the old farm buildings...
Here is one of the two lakes.. Lilla Rudan (little Rudan). It is surrounded with forest all around with lots rocks and cliffs to use to get some sun...
This is the Rock I found and managed to get some good swimming in as well as some good reading done...
That evening, Niklas and I took the train to town to meet some friends for some ice cream. We saw this old car pass as we were waiting for them at Medborgarplatsen on Sodermalm. We met up with Jens, Ann Marie, Angelica and Viktoria. There is an an awesome ice cream place with tons of great flavors there....The other day I tried the licorice flavor, its totally black and a bit salty.. kind of interesting.
Viktoria and Ann Marie.....
Niklas and his vaffla (waffle) cone....
After that we walked to the lookout on Sodermalm for the view of Gamla stan and the rest of downtown.. It was really beautiful up there with a great sunset....
Here is a view of downtown.. with the Statshuset (city hall) on the left...
Angelica taking Ann Marie's picture.....
Viktoria and Ann Marie... rockstars...
Here they are again after we walked down from the cliffs to the waters edge...
Angelica.. a bit shy at the moment....
From there we all took a walk past Slussen (the locks between the lake and the baltic sea) to Gamla Stan...We met Anna Maria there as well... We just all sat by the waters edge and watched the boats bringing people into town from the amusment park GronaLund on the Djurgarden island.
We also took a walk past the royal palace and saw the guards marching past....
On our way to the night bus home we stopped for a while in Kungstradgarden. The big round light in the background says NK which is the big department store in town... It stands for Nordiska Kompaniet (which means Northern Company). Its kind of like Stockholm's version of Herrod's in London....
We then caught the night bus home.....
