I spent last weekend visiting Billy in Stockholm. The city is very cool and is a total mashing of nature and city, with lakes, parks, tree lined streets the whole shabang.
Shortly after take off from the airport on the way back.
This was probably one the most impressive things I have seen before, a 16th (I think) century ship that sunk shortly after its maiden voyage, it sat at the bottom of the Baltic sea until the 1950 when it was raised up. Too bad that you can't actually go into it though.
Literally walking a few feet behind Billy's residence and you are immediately in what is strangely similar Northern Ontario, around 3 minutes later and you are at a series of lakes and beaches, very cool indeed.
I was debating rock climbing here, instead I just took a few pictures.
At the end of the city hall garden, not too many city halls in the world can boast water front real estate.
H and M in Stockholm?? No way! You couldn't walk a block without finding another H&M, to give you perspective is like Tim Horton's in Canada.
At the city hall again.
After having an epic BBQ we went into town to watch the Sweden Canada semi finals. The place was packed with hockey loving Swedes and Billy and I as the only 'real' Canada fans.
These guys were hard core hockey fans, the guy on the left loved Detroit, especially Holstrom. He even offered Billy an all inclusive trip to his home town in Sweden!
In the end he ended up giving him his hat. The trip is still up for discussion I think.
Later on we went to house party and corridor party and I displayed my body checking abilities to Billy. I think he approved of it!

One of the rooms in city hall was decked out in gold and mosaic. I didn't have a good pic of the entire place but this one turned out well.
Another picture of the down town.
