Relaxed Planning!

This Saturday was just super nice! We slept long and had a nice breakfast. We were sitting around a bit, but then actually quickly fixing ourselves to go out to the city. The weather was good, when we got up, but quickly some clouds came up and it wasn’t that nice anymore, but we wanted to go to the city.

 A & I went with the bus to Slussen and then with the T-banen to Gamla Stan. From there we walked through the narrow streets to Drottninggatan. We were strolling aimlessly through the city and were just enjoying the crisp air and all the people around us. We strolled back over Gamla Stan along the Palace to Slussen and Södermalm. 

On Södermalm we went to a mixture of an indoor flee market and secondhand shop, where a colleague of A. had a stand. A. just wanted to go by and say “Hi”. From there we went on to some kind of a farmers or autumn market. We tried a lot of different food and were looking at all the exotic and unusual products the vendors were offering.

After strolling around the city for three hours or something like this we took the bus back home. On the way A. bought some Kanelbullar. When we came home we had a small snack and the bullar and coffee.

The rest of the afternoon we spend relaxing on the sofa and planning a trip. A. will come to Norway after she finished her internship here in Stockholm. We wanted to use the time to go to the fjords and Bergen. We considered many options of the tour and finally, after a lot back and forth, we decided on one alternative. We will both talk to our colleagues to see if we can get special prices for the trip and maybe some parts even for free or sponsored by someone!

Then we both somehow got restless and decided to go out for a walk. We both were not really hungry, yet, and just wanted to get some fresh air and exercise before dinner. We walked through Hammarby Sjöstad, which is an old industrial area, where now new and fancy apartment houses were built around a small lake. We took a small ferry over to Södermalm and walked back to Finnberget, where A. lives.

Now she is cooking dinner, Köttbullar and mashed potatoes. This will be really good food and I am looking forward to it, since I am pretty hungry. The rest of the evening we will relax on the couch in front of the TV! Sometimes you also have to do this instead of going out!
