Journal no. 3

from Slussen, the most convenient way to get to Djurgarden was by ferry, which was covered by the 7 day transport pass.
i guess boats are quite a common means of transport since this part of Sweden has so many waterways and islands.
i haven't been on a ferry for ages so it was a thrill to see the attractions of the amusement park, Grona Lund, loom closer as the vessel approached its dock.
C said that she used to spend most of her school holidays at Grona Lund with her friends - how idyllic is that ^^

  we were going to visit most of the museums on the island except for the ABBA one, which not even my mom was interested in, so C brought to its museum shop to show us what we will be missing.
glorious bling like these key chains.

and these star clogs. SEK 695 = SGD 123.
i think they look good anywhere except on feet.

we got on the tram, which was quite packed. part of the ride was along the waterfront where many stately heritage buildings are situated. the National Dramatic Theater was particularly impressive, with its gold accents and ornate reliefs.

looking at this photo reminds me of how we were blessed with good weather during our visit.
C said that it was freakishly cold just 2 weeks before we were due to come.
