Thirty-six hours after saying farewell to brother Joe, dog Bronte, and Brisbane generally, Mum, Dad and I arrived at Destination 1: Stockholm!
We were welcomed by snow and -4 degrees.
On the way into the city from the airport I was looking out for Ikea, but alas, did not see it. I did, however, see a Volvo dealership. Almost, but not quite as exciting.
Looking forward to discovering more of what Stockholm has to offer tomorrow. Will people who look like your stereotypical Swedish masseuse be lurking behind every corner? Will I be able to stomache a whole dish of reindeer? Will I be overwhelmed by the discovery of super tight yet strangely desirable jeans at unbelievably low prices?
So far, we are off to a good start, with a delicious Swedish meal tonight (not reindeer for me, yet), and beautiful snow-covered vistas. I think it will certainly be an enjoyable stay in Stockholm.
