I saw the changing of the guard at noon... and that was pretty average. However... the brass band did play a Tom Jones medley: "It's Not Unusual", "Sex Bomb" and "Delilah". Kind of random for a royal guard to be playing don't ya think?
Then I met one of the people from the hostel there (Ruth) and we went off to the Nobel museum.
For those of you that don't know, a Nobel prize is the most prestigious prize you can receive in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and of course peace keeping.
Alfred Nobel was the man who invented dynamite, and when he died he left his inheritance to the Nobel Prize pool that is still active today. Of course, he was Swedish from Stockholm (that I didn't know)
After the museum, Ruth had to go to catch her train to the airport. I continued walking around the city taking more photos.
I got back to the hostel and started chatting with Andreas and Natalia (Argentinian and an Alaskan). They were very friendly and we decided to hit the town. We had a few drinks first and a group of Norwegian girls joined us. In the end the girls stayed behind and just Andreas and myself hit the town.
We were looking for a place to go and everywhere had a line... so we waited in one line for an hour. They kept letting people in front of us as well. I asked the bouncer what was going on, he said that the owners policy is to let regulars in before anyone else. After talking with a few people they said that Stockholm is very snobbish... and I am getting that impression.
We eventually got into the club after an hour... and then it closed after an hour. So was a bit of a let down.
So tomorrows a new day!
