Gamla stan

Ok, we love Stockholm. The city is gorgeous people are friendly but not intrusive and its easy to walk everywhere. After breakfast we started our trek to Gamla Stan. We are two islands south of Gamla Stan and it took about 45 mins to get there. The entire walk we passedadorable shops and cafes with outdoor seating that provide pillows and blankets. Mom fell in love with each one. We passed a trendier neighbourhood with lots of clothing shops... We popped into a few.. And promptly got escorted out for looking like bums. Mom saw a big bird... Adding this becasuse there will be a picture. The amount of bikers here is amazing; almost no cars. Can easily cross main streets because there will be so few cars, however we both almost got run over by the bikers during rush hours. Typically they have their own roads , but sometimes you have to cross their path... Remember to look both ways!Read more
