STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

Panoramic view

Views from our bus window

 

The perfect place to use the facilities...

Embassy of The United States of America

These countries love their statues

 

 

The typical length of the names of the streets.  Imagine trying to read their maps!

After our bus tour, we're off to shop and eat!

 

Success on both fronts!

 

Their version of earthquake bolts

The band in the Square literally plays "Dixie" as we walk back to our bus

Back to the bus for a most unusual afternoon experience at The Icebar at The IceHotel

 

 

 

 

 

The world’s first permanent ice bar is -5°C all year round. All the furnishings, including the glasses, are made from pure, clear ice from the River Torne in Jukkasjärvi.

Our visit included a warm cape, gloves, an ice-cool feeling of exhilaration, and a drink of our choice from the drinks menu, served in an ice glass.

 A visit lasts for 40 minutes..or the ice melts...whichever comes sooner:>)

 

 

 

 

Definitely not t-shirt wearing temps!
