It's been awhile since I have had time to post on here, but I thought a recap
of the last month that I have spent here is quite necessary.
After the departure of my two friends, Liz and Christina, I had one more visitor on the way!
My brother!
We had an exciting two weeks ahead of us including:
Stockholm, where we ventured through out the city to see the
Vasa Mueseum... An entire museum devoted to a ship that ended up sinking less than one mile into its departure into the sea. The ship may not have sailed long, but it spent a miraculous 333 years under water until it was dug out and then floated back to shore. The ship itself is in amazing condition for how long it spent in the water...
The Museum of Nordic Culture
And my favorite: the first ever IceBar... Everything from the walls, benches, bar and glasses was made of ice. 45 minutes in there, then the outside didn't feel so cold anymore:p
From Stockholm we went to Prague, Czech Republic.
It was such a fun city to visit filled with amazing architecture, the largest fortress in Europe, and cheap beer... 1-2 dollars isn't too bad for a pint when I am used to paying 8-9 for a tiny bottle in Sweden. We enjoyed roaming around in the city, but the cobblestone sure took a tole on my feet and my shoes.
Our last stop was Rome, Italy.
The historic content of this city is incredible and the views were just the same! From the Colosseum to St. Peters Basilica... Something is constantly catching your eye. And if the monuments and buildings don't... The pizza and pasta surly will!
We spent a full 4 days in Rome and still have plenty more that we could have done and ate.
Just another reason to return some other day...
