Stockholm Trip, 15th February 2011

DAY 1 - On Tuesday early morning (15th February 2011), I, Gar, Enrico, Aaron and Joe set off to London Stansted Airport in a taxi, where the entire students of L6 and Bridget Snaith would then meet before boarding our flight at 08:00 to Skavsta Airport just outside of Stockholm in Sweden. I had no idea what to expect of Stockholm, though considering the time at which we went during winter and the longitudinal situation of Sweden I gathered that it would be pretty chilly and snowy (which happens to be my favourite weather of all). Once we landed at Stockholm we immediately set forth to Gamlastan, Stockholm where we all stayed for the duration of our trip. I was instantly taken back by the unique characteristics of the landscapes in which we passed by bus, though in particular the ranging characteristics of Stockholm city were most captivating for a new visitor like myself and the majority of students alike. After checking in to our hostel in Gamlastan we then went for a walk around the city centre and Soddermalm, we took a lot of pictures followed by an expensive pint on Regeringsgatan.
