That was the theme of my day. And with it, I saw the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace, old Swedish style cottages, beautiful churches towering into the sky, amazing views overlooking the city, and walked about 15 miles. My feet can vouch for that.
It's been amazing touring a new city by myself. Although I wish I had friends or family by my experiencing it with me, it's also incredible to go where you want, when you want. I feel completely free. Today I walked from my hostel down to Soldermalm and around the southern area of Stockholm then back. I saw the central area and shopping street, Gamla Stan which is the old town, and Soldermalm with had beautiful parks and views overlooking Gamla Stan.
Stockholm is also a beautiful city full of diverse people. There aren't as many blondes as I'd expected. Everyone is also kind and helpful, well at least every store clerk has greated me with a smile and listened to me say "jag talar inste Svenska. Tala du Engleska?" Then has responded kindly with English.
But for now it's bedtime because I'm exhausted! I barley slept on the plane here (it was a red eye flight) then unbeknownst to me, the sun sets after 11pm and rises around 3:30am! Hence, I haven't gotten much sleep. My body woke up ready to go around 4 am today and my head was not on the same page. So for now, I have some sleep to catch up on!
