Sweden

Hej! Loving the Swedish summer- very sunny and lovely.

We spent our first few days in the south of Sweden staying at Tammy & Mahesh`s place in Almhult. Got to spend lots of time with their gorgeous 7 month old daughter Poppy who is completly delightful :) We also visted old towns and Tammy & Mahesh`s huge farm house they are renovating and went bike riding around. A really relaxing, lovely time.

Now we are in Stockholm and have been exploring the sights. It`s a stunning city, a lot like Prague but on the water with loads of sailing boats. We`ve wandered the old city and some of the islands (there are thousands of them) and visited a museum with Viking stuff. I discovered the Vikings didn`t just sail around killing people but had a lot of culture and ritual and they reminded me of the Incas.

Turns out Sweden is the home of Pippi Longstocking- cute dolls galore! And the Swedes must have a killer sweet tooth. EVERY store has Pick-N-Mix... have been eating waaayy too much. Yum!

Tomorrow we fly to Amsterdam- yah! Hope you`re all well :)

Next: Amsterdam, Brussels, Prades, Barcelona and Madrid
Previous: London and Leeds
