    Stockholm Walking Tour

    June 28, 2022 in Sweden ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Well, we weren't expecting it to be in the 90s here too on our northernmost city of the trip! Our tour guide says she usually has to worry about people being too cold, haha.

    I didn't know much about Swedish history, so it was interesting to learn more. Lots of kings named Gustav. We also managed to time it right to get to see the changing of the guard.

    We also heard about the longstanding rivalry between Sweden and Denmark. Even today, IKEA names some of its rugs that you wipe your feet on after Danish places.
