Stockholm part 2

We only had one day left in Stockholm. We both woke up quite early, had our breakfast, checked out by the hotel and went to some underground stations. Cause in Stockholm you have some very special stations. All the stations have a lot of special wallpaintings and each station is different. So if you want to see all of them, we started at Sickla centre, you should take the underground and go out at each station. We found that out later but we saw 2 special ones. So the one at Sickla centre and T-centralen. So if I go back, I will go to the other ones.

As I told in my previous post about Stockholm, we wanted to see the change of the guards at the royal palace, It started at 13.15, so we stood there around 12.45 and it was really crowded already. But we quite a good place on the first row, so we could see a lot of the ceremonie. First someone tells something about the palace and a bit history and exactly 13.15 the real ceremonie starts. Someone plays something on the trumpet, and then all the 'old' guards come stand in line. Then the 'new' guards come marching to the square. Then

They kind of change there positions and the 'old' guards march away.

Then the trumpet player and the drummer play some music and that was the ceremony. If you are in Stockholm, I recommend to go here, and I heard that if you go on wednesday the royal orchestra plays a lot of music.

So after the changing of the guards we did again some sightseeing and just walked through the city. We came across beautiful buildings and other nice places of the city. Ofcourse we also had to do some shopping again. Stockholm is also a very nice place for shopping.

We had to eat a bit early to be on time for the boat. We came across a cute little restaurant, so we ate something there. After dinner we went back to the hotel to pick up our suitcase and we went to the harbour. On the way back we had a cabin included, so we had a bed and a own small bathroom. We had to spent the whole night on the boat, so I tried to get some sleep. Well I think I had 2 hours of sleep that night. The bed was really small and not comfortable at all was really small and a lot of noises. But we survived and after 12 hours on the boat we were back in Turku.

I can look back at an amazing weekend. We have seen a lot and we had a lot of fun!

If you are looking for a city for a citytrip, Stockholm is perfect for that.
