Kelsey H. July 28 - sightseeing in Stockholm

For our second day in Sweden a very full day. We ended up spending the whole day in Sweden because of a scheduling problem with the ferry. This meant we just had more time to do things. We started off the day going to drottingham palace. This palace has been the official home of the royal family since 1981. We explored the rooms from the past. We got to see how royalty lived hundreds of years ago. Although we had a private tour for our group, two Asian girls were tagging along, so we named them 30 and 31 in our group, until Hedy kindly asked them to leave. After some exploring of the palace grounds and a break with ice cream and a cold drink, we headed to the city center.

Here we did some shopping and sightseeing. We then had a boat tour around stockholm. We watched the scnery and beautiful architecture. However the rocking of the boat did put some of us to sleep. This gave some of the girls an opportunity to take pictures of jaz with crackers in her mouth. It was quite funny but she wasn't happy when she woke up. Because we had an extra night in Stockholm, Jaakko our tour guide found us some more ice to practice. We did some drills, practiced some of our plays and had a little scrimmage against each other. After our practice we went back to the hotel for dinner then off to bed.

Current city: Stockholm, Sweden
