Make sure you budget for this. We liked to buy snacks and lunch stuff at grocery stores because lunches are as expensive as dinner at restaurants.
We began our adventure in Stockholm. I have never seen so many Teslas in my life. Public transit, walking, and cycling are the ways to get around here. The weather was nice in early June. Compared to our sweaty, nasty southeast US summers, it was lovely! You will feel like you have shrunk. Michael and I looked like shrimp. It was highly amusing. Here are some pictures. I apologize in advance for the number of animal pictures that will be in any and all of my posts.
They had an open-air walk-through lemur exhibit. They were everywhere, and this baby came right up to my camera and grabbed it! It was very amusing to watch children, however. Ok, moving on. Another favorite was the Vasa Museum. This was located very close to Skansen, which worked out nicely for us!
The Vasa was a Swedish warship that sunk on her maiden voyage in It is definitely a must-see when you visit Stockholm. Michael and I love theme parks, and we tend to hit as many as we can when we travel, assuming we have time. Stockholm has a really cool park called Grona Lund that we were excited to try out.
Even better, they have a music festival series every summer with famous bands and artists weekly. We saw that Beck was going to be playing while we were there, so we planned our trip to Grona Lund around that.
