Stockholm- meeting my sister

 First day in Stockholm, meeting my sister

When I saw my sister I was full of happiness. Together again. Well, honestly we have last seen each other on the second of January. But it felt like forever! We took the bus back to Stockholm city and talked the whole ride. There was a lot to tell about, the first few weeks in Student’s village, the first few courses at university and of course also the first few nights out. 

After storing our suitcases in the hotel, we went back to the city centre and allowed us to try one piece of the Swedish pastry called “Semla”. It is hard to describe how it tasted. It was a mix of sweet bread with vanilla cream and almond mousse. So far, it was very nice, but for me a little bit too sweet.

 With new energy we met Ruben to do a little sightseeing tour. We went to the famous Vasa museum where we visited the amazing ship. It looks breath-taking with all the tiny figures made of wood.

After five o’clock we had to leave the museum because it closed. Despite the chilly wind we decided to walk to old town via the central station. The walk took us nearly 2 hours, but it was worth it. The houses are decorated with old fashioned clocks and wild growing plants. As soon as we have seen the palace we decided to go back to the centre to have a coffee in Wayne’s coffee to heat up

Due to our empty stomachs we asked for a device where we can have an affordable dinner. The waitress suggested us to go to Vapiano.

 

First we wanted to have some typical Swedish food, but the  feeling of starving was stronger. So we went to the nearby Vapiano restaurant. Unfortunately there was a waiting time about 50 minutes. However, the warm and windless restaurant had its power. After waiting for nearly an hour we had an amazing dinner. I ate some pesto rosso, which was more than delicious. But by finishing the dinner, it was already half past nine. My sister and I decided to go back to our hotel to fill up our lack of sleep. But we had still so much to talk about, that we did not fall asleep before midnight.
