This morning we planned to walk through Stockholm with Hanna starting at the old city (Gamla Stan) at 10:30. After a quick breakfast from 7-11, we went up to the theatre to deposit our bags at Anders' studio. Anne was there to meet us and unlock the doors and then we all walked together to the city so that we could chat. Chrissy was slightly taken aback by the swift walking pace set by Anne (some kind of champion speed walker/Swede walker) but she kept up!
When we met Hanna, Stockholm was still very quiet and it turned out that it was one of those secret public holidays that I don't find out about until I'm already at school or have walked half an hour to get to a certain shop which is closed. Most of the shops were opening, but just a bit later than normal and we wandered around the old town for a while, looking at historical things such as gnomes and comic shops.
Next on the agenda was some vintage clothes shops and fashionable design thingie shops on the south island, so we wound our way across the bridges and up the hill into Södermalm. In Design Torget we saw some cute things and I almost bought an iPad bag by "Unit Portables" and then we looked at lots of crazy clothes in Beyond Retro and some other vintage shops.
Before too long it was time to go meet Anders and Anne for lunch so we all went back to Kura to meet them. They were really happy to see Christina again and to meet Hanna and I was happy to show off my team of Australians.
Soon enough it was time for us to go and get the bus to the airport and that very evening we got back to my little apartment in Piteå and our Christmas holiday was at an end. Now! Time to practice!
