Sveriges huvudstad
July 1st Danni finally got to see more of Stockholm than the inside of Arlanda Airport.
We started out by taking a trip to old town where he got to see the guard exchange by the royal castle, "Röda torget" the red square where Gustav Vasa's (the first king of Sweden) father was executed and the famous Saint Göran and the Dragon. The knight is suppouse to be Saint Göran, the dragon represents Denmark and the fair maiden is Sweden. He also got to see the canon ball that's stuck in one of the buildings since back in the days.
We had lunch at "Grå munken", the Grey Monk, which has a cellar all the way back from the 15th century.
It's one of my favorite places in old town and the food is absolutely scrumptious.
After our little trip to old town we drow through Stockholm to the Vasa museum.
The royal ship Vasa sank back in 1628, got rescued from the bottom of the ocean in 1961 and is today one of its kind.
