In Stockholm now

After that wild trip to Bergen and back to Oslo... I and Maki took the train to Stockholm.

Stockholm really shocked me. We arrived in the central station and it was busier than anything I saw in New York. Ok maybe it was AS busy, I just did not expect to be trapped in it. Walking across a hallway was difficult. I asked someone a question and was litterally about 30cm from his face and he completely ignored me and walked quickly away like he was blind. Blind and able to walk really quickly through foot traffic...

Maki and I spent yesterday going to a bunch of museams because we bought a 'Stockholm card'. Saw a national museam (saw my first real Monet there), a dance museam and a music museam (yay Abba!)

Stockholm prices are more sane than Norway or Iceland. We are now able to get coffee for about 2.00 and dinner entrees are about 20. Speaking of which we went to a swedish restaurant and I had reindeer and herring in three sauces.

Today I said goodbye and booked a ticket to see the MODO hockey team play in Karlstad tommorrow. MODO is where the Sudin Twins and Forsberg are playing now. Markus Nasuld should be playing for them in December or January.
