Still not feeling my best which is very frustrating. 2 nights in Stockholm with Kerstin. We did manage to spend a few hours on Friday walking through Gamlastan - the old town. A little like The Rocks in Sydney but of course much older and bigger. We met up with her sister Camilla for dinner in town.
We stayed at Hasselbacken Hotel in Skansen which is a very interesting area 75 acres of land very close to the city which was bought by a wealthy gentleman in 1891 where he has re-created a mini version of the whole of Sweden true to the original buildings and activities in each area, including planting the appropriate vegetation and animals from north to south and east to west. All the buildings and farmsteads have been relocated and re-assembled in this area to enable visitors to experience Sweden as it used to be. Absolutely a wonderful experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the raspberry tart at the village coffee shop where we were served by authenticaly dressed ladies.
