Shall blog a bit on my trip. No pictures though. Lazy + i havent got their pictures yet.
1stly, we took the long distance bus to Turku at 7.10am. Reached there at about 2 plus pm.
We walked around Turku, went to the church, "yellow river", castle, and a garden filled with nice flowers! Pictures will show you all. Which will be soon.=p
We had Rax pizza buffet for lunch + dinner. Damn full!
We also bought strawberries for supper at a very cheap price! 1.50 euro for 450grams (times 3). Delicious!
Next, we took the Isabella cruise at 9pm!
There was nothing much to do on board.
Oh, we slept at deck 2!
Underwater okay! Beneath the vehicles which were parked at levels 3, 4 and 5. OMG.
So, we didn't spend much time sleeping, we went to have our "san ba" talk as well as our supper which consisted of Cider (alcohol), chocolates and strawberries! Damn full again!!!
Reached Stockholm at about 6.30am (Stockholm time), bought the 24-hr bus/ tram card, and off to search for our hotel!
It was hell carrying our bags and walking & reading maps (Not me though. LOL!)!! Calista almost died i know. So sorry!
Anyway, we successfully found the hotel (Hotell Norrtull)!
Btw, we stayed at their hostel! 16-bed! Shared toilet (male/female). Luckily we weren't staying at the 30-bed one!
Ours were stuffy enough already!
Although we stayed at the hostel, the price we paid was quite expensive! Like 70 euros each for 2 nights (S$140 plus).
That day, we went to : National Museum, Royal Palace and Gamla Stan.
We walked rounds at those places! I think we walked 4-5 hours continuously without stopping.
And we took those "jumping" photos in front of the guards at the Royal Palace. They must be thinking we were crazy bitches. HAHA.
AND, my disgusting King Kong in Spiderwoman disguise photos were taken somewhere near that place! OMG.
Calista haven sent me yet.
I shall just post it here anyway because Pearl and her will be putting that pic on facebook. =(
So mean. Hmph.
We parted with Calista that evening as she went to meet her mum in some other city. I wanna meet my mum too!!=(
Third day, me and les went Skansen, Vasa Museum, Nordiska museum and shopping at city area!
We kinda "bluff" into the museums for free!! Cus those museums are free for those under 18. And they don't check! =p We saved like a lot! (:
I like Vasa Museum! Though it felt creepy.
Vasa is actually the vessel's name. And on 10th August 1628, she set on her maiden voyage and unfortunately, sank in the Stockholm Harbour.
So the wreck was salvaged in 1961.
They recontructed the vessel, but 95% of her is original.
Cool right?
They even displayed the skeletons of the dead!
This museum was the best that i ever went! (:
To end that day, we went to shop at H & M, Gina Tricot and other departmental stores!
Forth day, we went back to Gamla Stan in search for the red building!
Yes, we found it! It's like a tourists' attraction. We tried to find it on the first day with Calista but no luck.
Btw, there was a celebration going on at the Nobel Museum. They said it was their 40th economy pride's day. People were dressed in traditional costumes and holding flags. We went around asking people to take pictures with/for us. =p Cool leh.
They were cheering and singing (we don't understand their language). Anyway, the admission was free for that day. =p
To end the trip, we went shopping again!
I also must mention that on our return cruise (Amorella) back to Turku, we slept at deck 9!
Promoted! hehe! At least we were above the vehicles!!
We had Mac for like 3 days, and also Bk on the first day of Stockholm. LOL. So happy!
Cus Finland's Mac is overpriced!
We didn't shop a lot, because things are actually more expensive than in Finland. Rich country.
Alright, that's a very long summary of the trip. Pictures soon!
BB!
p.s. I realised that our initials make up P.C.C. (Pearl, Cheryl, Calista)! HAHA, that's random. =/ And one more thing to add, I had to pay 10 sek= about 1 euro= about S$2.10 for going to a public toilet!!! Crazy! But Calista paid 2.50euros in Germany for the public toilet and that was the most expensive that i've heard of! So next time if you guys go Germany, don't drink too much water! My dad went there before but he didn't mention this to me! hehe. Or maybe she chose the wrong toilet!
i am who i am
