The flight over went well, despite the lack of sleep which has continued until the present (6pm local time), so that many of us are on our 30th+ hour of being awake. In one day, we have already seen quite a bit of the city. After getting our luggage to the hotel (some of us did not get their luggage, but they'll be delivered by tomorrow morning to the hotel), we went back to the central railway station, T-Centralen, and took a tour on the "Hop On Hop Off" bus. The bus drove us around the Skansen open air museum and dropped us off at Kungsholmen, the King's Castle, from where we strolled around Gamla Stan (the Old Town) and had pizza and a warm place to sit down for a while.
It is freezing here, today's temperature has hovered around +5 C, which is about 40, but feels like 30-something with the wind factor. It is always windy in Stockholm, just like in Helsinki, because both cities lie on the sea coast. Shay and Rachel bought some warm clothes at the H&M to survive the elements, if temperatures do not rise in the near future. We were told in the train that last week, it was 80 degrees and sunny...a typical May here much as it is in Utah.
Our first visit will be tomorrow, we'll be at the University of Stockholm. So in order to get up bright and early, we must get some shuteye soon. Tomorrow, we'll post pictures. Stay tuned.
