Stockholm, Sweden

Today we arrived in beautiful Stockholm!

Stortorget, the main square in the old town (Gamla Stan)

We will be here for four weeks, so we rented an apartment from AirBnb.  It's a studio, but it feels pretty spacious and it's in a great location (the Södermalm neighborhood, just south of the old town).


We did have to laugh at the sleeping alcove with it's "I Love Lucy"-style twin beds.  I'll admit it's a clever use of space; IKEA designers would be proud.


Stockholm covers a much larger area than Copenhagen.  The town is spread out among several islands and part of the mainland.  After spending a bit of time figuring out the bus pass and transit system, we managed to get into the old town for a quick walk around before hopping on a scenic cruise to get our bearings.  It was a good introduction to the city, but it made for a busy and exhausting first day!
