Venice of north- Stockholm

Our trip started at rainy and grey day. In my mind circulated thought-I hope in Stockholm will be better weather. Everybody put their bags and aidaaaa- our trip can start. Our bus was quite comfortable despite Dave had some rain from air conditioner.
Next stop-Turku. Harbour of Turku is big and to cheat time till our boarding we decided to play cards. Our playing manner attracted attention of young "pink lady". From secret information sources she was about 2 years old. Pink lady just simled and looked up and down to players. Specially she liked Dave funny face expressions.

Next stop- our ship- Amorella. Then we made expedition around the ship. Jap, tax free shops-old ladies and gentlemans put alcohol in their baskets. Then we decided to look about dinner possibilities on ship. We found cheapest place where hambuger was for 11 euros. It was quite funny- the place where we ate this hampurger looked like restaurant and waiter brought it . Weird situation. Then we decided to play game "WereWolves". What is card role game based on disscusion. worst thing on ship was russians(even if they were not so drunk at the beggining)- who repated phrase "Moscow number one". Their english language level was not so high. They tried to beard other people and looked that tehy were searching for fight. But now about better things.
morning. And it was still dark, but Stocholm's illumination light driveEarly in the morning we reached Stockholm. We arrived at 6:30 in the away darkness. Stockholm lights is amazing:))
Despite in Stockholm I was second time I saw new things there. After about 20 minutes walk we arrived in our wonderful hostel-Castanea- what was in heart of old city. Great location:))))
All Stocholm you can feel history breath- each building is unique and worth to be memorialized in picture. But First museum what our group visited was Vaasa museum- museum about ship which sinked at first vouyage and was found only after 333 years. Then we visited national art museum. This museum has great painting collections.

We looked in Stockholm shops too- and everything is so expensive-we had even joke- now seems that Finland is cheapest country in the world. Actually what I noticed that swedish people wear chic clothes and they have very good taste( then in my mind appeared Finn image-sporty clothes). Everywhere you can see many clothes shops and famous brand shops.

Second day started with Christmas market visiting. In the air vibrated sweat pancake smell. Mmmm. The Royal Palace guard shift was not so exciting if I compare it with summer guard shift with horses. We decided to visit Royal palace treasury. Treasyre was not so big as I expected, but I liked. Gold crowns, swords and king mantle. At the end of day we went to tower from which we had great view to all city.
And back to home we went by ship Isabella. Special memories, christmas music.......

p.s. jokes like "Look one tree, many trees"was main element of this trip.
