Stockholm-Helsinki

On Sunday afternoon me, my boyfriend and his mother left the beautiful Helsinki to sail away and see Stockholm. We started off wet while waiting the buffet to open.

I actually had a head ache. The next mornig we woke up super early and went to see the views on the deck. There were none, just thick fog.

After eating some wraps and sipping coffee we were in Stockholm. We had hotel rooms near the bay at Scandic, and what nice rooms they were. Jamie Oliver's pictures hanging on nearly each wall... Hehe. Wlan was awsome, super fast. Why does it seem as if in Sweden everything is so much better and works so much better than in Finland?

Then me and the prince went shopping the usual tourist course - T-central, Åhlens, Drottninggatan. I found absolutely diddly squat. I felt depressed. Even my forever favourite Weekday let me down. Instead we went on to explore some game shops and second hand boutiques.

Soon we caught up with bf's mom and she was craving for a Swedish hotdog.

The excellent scifi bookstore at Gamlastan (the oldest parts of the city) has become a regular spot to visit on each trip. It's filled with literature treasures such as these comic books my boyfriend bought and the Lolcats-book his mom got for herself.

We went to at in a place called Lilla Karachi. The food was great and customer service even greater. Serisously, visit the place if you're in Stockholm.

The next morning we had delicious pancakes and then me and bf went to see Södermalm for more second hand stores and perhaps some more Weekday...

It's a bit more advanced in Sweden than in Finland, this whole blogging thing.

From the Weekday at Götgatan I found many splendid things! I was so happy. They were on huge sale too.

Then we had a date with his mom at NK. She bought a silk blouse.

The ship was leaving in some few hours, so we started heading back to the hotel. Made a little sidesweep though....

Back at the ship my cruise mates went to try out the sauna and the pool, I was sufficiant with a shower and photographing my new thing. More details coming up soon enough!

Next up: buffet, wine and sleep. Next morning we were back in Helsinki, up and going. Though I wasn't so much, I hit my head just when were about to drag our asses off the ship. My head hurt all day and I felt incredibly dizzy. I was sure I had a brain damage. Luckily, here I am still.

So, great trip, ehh ^^
