Stockholm Syndrome

Stepped down from the train, I’ve thought to myself “I’m going to eat the crispy anchovy and walk around Stockholm – so I could spend as much time here as I expected to” But then Christ said “Let’s go dine somewhere nice today, I’ve made the reservation for us already – You deserve something great after a long ride” Unexpectedly, he made the reservation? Never love his accent more LOL

So for the breakfast at Stockholm, we were having an “island breakfast” at “Fjaderholmarnas Krog” – this place is on the deck beside the water. Christ told me he made the reservation since we’re in Narvik – the place needs to book in advance. When I arrived there I totally understood why this place is always fully booked. The view is incredible. We had wine in the morning with the breakfast that seems more like lunch; we are tired and hungry so ‘no ordinary breakfast for us’ – needed something huge and I don’t have any problem with alcohol in the morning (even though it was 8)

After we’d finished the incredible breakfast we go for the sweets – I love sweets …. and the sweets in Sweden is totally awesome. The first stop is the shop calls “Cupcake Sthlm” or we can easily call it Cupcake Stockholm – the cupcakes looks gorgeous I bought it along with me too; this will be very reasonable for the trip to Helsinki, don’t you think? (my accompany doesn’t seem to agree) It is lucky for me to have a great metabolism – I love to eat … it maybe because I eat a lot and walk a lot – eat all day and walk all day – that’s my motto.

We’re in the Old Town of which is stunning and I want to photograph every single building and alley. We’ve found a really nice menswear shop calls “Kocksgatan 17 Herrekipering” and I sneak in to buy Christian something nice as a thank you gift while he’s smoking outside. After that we went to other bakery shop, Satunus, there are lots of great looking bread I bought it back with me too (but I don’t think I’m going to eat them anytime soon) They also have a really great looking sandwiches according to what I saw on other customers’ table. Not too far from there (I honestly don’t know how far because I was like running around with excitement) There’s a french bakery shop call Petite France – their stuff looks cute and delicious.

Then at noon, Christian took me to lunch at a very stylish place calls “Operakallaren” and again we drink (the whole trip with Christ is more like having alcohol drinks … wine, champaign, beer, vodka -I love it) The lunch is extravagantly GREAT!!!

After lunch we went to the Central station to take some pictures before we took off to Helsinki. The place is absolutely beautiful I think I really haven’t take time to get to know Stockholm as much as I want – and this is the lesson learned for me “never deadlined the time for travel and focus more at one place” For me this trip to Stockholm is like a date (I secretly hope it is)… but I really don’t know what’s going to happen next. We have to wait and see, aren’t we?

See you again soon!!!
