land ahoy!!!
Our first tourist day :D. Today bini and I woke up at 6 after almost 12 hours of sleep. Walked to the nearest 7,11 (a little supermarket) and bought milk. Had cereal for breakfast then headed off to the Vasa museum at about 10 o'clock.
The Vasa museum was amazing!!!! The whole museum is about a huge old wooden ship that was recovered out of stockholm harbour and somehow preserved by the sea. It had been restored or in the process of restoration since 1990 and was amazing!
I've seen these ships in pictures and games but the magnitude of it was awesome. In other words I loved it and bini also enjoyed it immensely. There was a huge amount of history about the ship and also about the time it was made in and how it worked e.g. How to stear :D
Morning tea consisted of a croissants and bananas
We left the Vasa about two and had a late lunch of cheap pizza from a near by restaurant. The pizza was amazing. Swedish pizza consists of a fairly thin and wet dough with minimal topping. Tasted amazing.
After this we went shopping and stocked up on everything we might need for the next 2 days as everything is shut on new years day.
Came home and are having a nice early night to wake up before 12 and watch the fire works. A great day ;)
