Today we woke up after our first nights sleep in Stockholm to a beautiful sight of white covered roofs, cars, trees and ground. To all of our surprise it had snowed over night and we were all very excited to be surrounded by such an impressive scene.
After a banquet breakfast, we caught a taxi into town, parked our luggage in a locker and headed off for an adventurous walk to the Old City of Stockholm. We ambled our way through some cobbled stoned streets, lined with cafes and shops, catering for both locals and tourists alike. With cold fingers and toes, having stopped numerous time to adjust scarves and gloves, we explored a side alleyway, only to find the most quaint little restaurant, ready to serve us with a hot chocolate.
We headed back to the main station, after we had stumbled into the ceremony of the Changing of the Guards at the royal palace, and got ourselves organised for our next flight to Kalmar.
We arrived in Kalmar at 7pm and we were warmly greeted by Lage, what a gorgeous man, singing and laughing with us all the way as he drove us to our hotel (www.hotelpackhuset.se) in a minibus they have organised to cart us around in all week! We certainly have been made to feel very welcome already. After a quick brief about tomorrows schedule, we have just finished dinner and we are all heading to bed, to try and get our minds and bodies ready for the huge week that is ahead.
