Today, I (Pauline) will told you about Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. We went this week-end (Margaux, Anthony, Johanna and I). We took a plane Friday morning (7:10am) at Billund airport and arrived in Arlanda airport at 8:30am. Then, we had to take a train to join the center of a city divided in 14 islands.
We visited
Djugarden and
Ostermalm neighborhood and the Vasa museum. It is about a very big boat, dating from the 17th century. He sank during is first fishing trip, 5 minutes after leaving the port. He stayed in the seabed during 300 years before to be released, cleaned, and exposed. We walk around the sea, in some parks and had enjoyed the sun. The night, we slept in a youth hostel.
