Last week my friend Zuzanna invited me along with her other friends to do a walking tour of Stockholm. It was free, so we were under no impressions that it was going to be great. We figured if it was horrible we could opt out early and go shopping or get fika, but we were pleasantly surprised. The tour was full of witty comments about how IKEA (one of the most famous Swedish companies) names its couches after cities in Sweden, and their rugs after cities in Denmark, as to make sure the Swedes always stay on top of the Danes. Of course we learned more practical knowledge about the cities history as well.
Zuzanna, myself and other friends beginning the walking tour of Stockholm on Kungsgatan (Kings Street) Who says we can't act like tourists for one day?
Myself in front of the Royal Palace (although the royal family doesn't live there anymore) and Parliament.
An ice rink downtown Stockholm, can't wait to go ice skating!
All of us girls after completing the tour of Stockholm, in front of the Parliament building. We were freezing after an hour and a half of walking around Stockholm and definitely ready for some fika! (4 our of the 6 of us are au pairs in Stockholm)
