pictures from stockholm


Beautiful Stockholm from the sky.


On the way out of Stockholm city centre to the airport. Absolutely tranquil. The water looked almost glassy.

Posers! I had a sunglass urge!

This large swing we took, i love this picture! The swing was right beside the river so it felt as if we were flying over the river. Cool!



Free-fall -- almost!


Theme park! Kids once more :) But we realized that we were way too old for themeparks! Squeezing with the little kids and screaming like teenagers!

Vasa (Ship) Museum. This ship was lifted out from the coast just off Stockholm like 50 years ago, almost in entirety. It sank in the 1600s.

Nordic Museum

Outside the Nordic museum which explained the Swedish way of life.

Out-of-place Chinese Pavilion which the King built secretly for his wife as a birthday surprise hundreds of years ago. No idea why a Chinese pavilion though.

Outside this Guard tent. We saw many guards and everyone wanted a guard each cos they were rather good looking, on our way out, we discovered to our horror that they were all girls with boobs cos we saw them training!?!?

This Extra guy who insisted on taking photo with us. Cheekopek!



Tada! Drottingholm palace for you!


The ferry which would take us to Drottingholm palace.

Stormy. View from the cityhall just before our boat ride to Drottingholm Palace.




Pretty Stockholm.





Walking the streets of Gamla Stan (Old town), most European cities split their towns into old and new ones.


Royal Palace
