Today is our final day. We arrive into Stockholm at 8am. After a slow start - checking email and getting packed, Brook, the ferrets and I head into town. WHat a GREAT city. It is large and modern, but extremely clean. The people are ridiculously tall and gorgeous - all of them. It is like America's Next Top Model has taken over town. The Swedes are friendly and smiling all the time. Despite the absolute pouring rain that comes and goes and is a staple of daily life here.
We walk about town sightseeing and searching for a new backpack for me. I wish I could stay here a few days, I just love the vibe of this city. Very energetic and happy. We find our way to the Ice Bar and pay the crazy entrance fee to stand in a freezing room and drink a shot of vodka. Yes, I nkow I already did this, but when will I have the chance again?
The ferrets head back to ship and Brook and I eat dinner in Stockholm. We have sandwiches that are out of this world! We then return in the pouring rain to the ship.
The night is low key as I am officially exhausted. I say my goodbyes and turn in early. As I write this, I am in the airport awaiting my delayed flight home. Think good thoughts for me that I finally end this trip that has been challenging at times to say the least!
I am off to Sea Isle for the week tomorrow! Woo HOO!
Have a great week!

Wow Irene! That is quite a story . . . I enjoyed reading it and had a couple of laughs along the way. Sorry about the robbery . . It happened to me once in London . . . not fun but all will work out. Where are we vicariously going next? KW
WOW - so enjoyable to keep up with you in somewhat real time! You need to work on finding a publisher so that you'll be all set to publish your memoirs one of these days :-)
