I didn’t want to write about the trip to Sweden before I got the pictures. We made a deal with Markus, that we are going to take the photos with his camera and I’m going to get them from him. Well, sometimes things take longer than you would think… :) Now I have some of the photos, so this is my report of the Trip to Sweden!

The main thing we did in Stockholm was walking. We walked so much that our legs were still aching after one week back home. All this were, of course, totally optional and we could’ve take public transportation to everywhere, but we choose to use and ancient way of moving. Stockholm is a city full of beautiful parks and glorious water side and that’s why I could recommend walking there.

Our main purpose for the trip was to enjoy Bloc Party’s gig in Cirkus, which is a wonderful old building in island of Djurgården.

The gig it self was really good. Afterwards we all pointed out: “It was a good gig, but not the best I’ve ever seen”. I had some problems at the beginning of the gig with getting trampled by the crowd little bit too hard. I almost lost my shoes and was absolutely certain that my feet were taking a new form of mush. After the beginning I withdraw myself bit and were able to enjoy for the rest of the show.

During the trip we were able to eat the first ice creams of the summer,
