Day 14 - Warewolves

Day 14 was to be our last day in hostel before we switched into the city center. We left kinda late, I dunno why really.

We started the morning with a boat tour around the Islands of the Archipeglo of Stockholm, saw some of the nicer sights and all for free on our stockholm card. The tour was savage we just managed to see a lot of the Stockholm as the city is based on an archipegelo of like 14 islands.

We went to visist this Island park called Skansen which was a bit of a mystery to us, we knew there were like old style buildings and animals there, but no one could say if it was a park a musuem or a zoo. We ate there which was probably a bad economic decision, before heading into the park, not entirely thrilled with the inital look of the place. However we headed across the park to the animals and it was kinda cool, we saw some wolves, bears and elk and stuff, then moved on to a lemur enclosure where we could just walk around with them, then various baboons and a things, before a small aquarium.

Once we left Skansen we went back to our old hostel and lay around before heading off to our new one with no directions or anything. Banter, we reached the old town Gamlastan and started walking around trying to find the place, after several failures I whacked out the laptop and found some wifi (thank you Sweden) and within minutes we were in our hostel, or rather outside it. Too late for check in, I had to do it over the phone. The place was small but nice, and more importantly bang in the center of the old town.

Half the old town was a pub club district which was dominated by Irish pubs, places like "Temple Bar" "The Liffey" "O Leary's" and "The Dubliner" were all down there, however everything closed at around midnight there. We met some South African lads and bantered with them for a while before heading back to our hostel.

At around 12:30 we went off to the cliffs on the islands opposite to see Stockholm from above at night, it was amazing. While up there we met some of Stockholms less well off young citizens. For some reason though they didn't mug us just sat and talked and told us they hated Stockholm. Was an experience.
