Where I stayed
Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Started the day walking around the main shopping streets, not just to look for things to buy but get my bearings on exactly where I was & what I wanted to see. I quickly worked out that Stockholm was a much bigger city than the others I've visited this trip, with places spread over many islands. So for the first time this trip I decided to buy a ticket for a sightseeing bus tour. 24hrs ticket & I could get on & off when I wanted. The good old red double decker bus that you see in major cities everywhere. Complete one way the tour took 2hrs so for the first time I just stayed for the entire trip & figured out what I wanted to do for tomorrow.
The rest of the late afternoon I walked around & took photographs of street Christmas decorations at night. I have to give Stockholm the award for the most bright & colourful decorations I've seen all trip. The photographs really don't do them justice, as they need to be experienced with your own eyes.
Despite my searching in both Oslo & Stockholm, I've not managed to find an antique shop like I saw in Bergen. The only antiques I've seen have been in those type of shop where the items are placed neatly & dusted regularly & they check your bank balance before you're allowed to enter. Sorry no enamel signs, except the ones I saw in that trendy cafe in Oslo, but they weren't for sale.
