The city is really pretty. I find houses at the sides of canel a beautiful sight. esp w the wilted trees. On our first nite in amsterdam we also witness a bridge being raised so tat a vessel can pass thru the canel. That was really interesting for us. hahas. tried to tk photo but was really dark didnt capture anyting nice.
back in stockholm. we went ice skating. at a real ice-skating ring! open air style. way cool man.
walked arnd museum. weather was fantastic.
went to e old town - gamla stan. place where i experience falling snow for e first time in my entire life. gonna rem tis place :)
skansen. v cool musuem where everything is lk olden days. pple working there role play (sort of). there's also a zoo in there. but tis was a really cold day. met my bro n jaime to explore.
on our way to finland!
on board e cruise ship. it's v much lk star cruise. less entertainment tho. they have a HUGE duty free shop (tink alcohol.. real cheap)
snacking at e xmas market.
back in stockholm. bunked at bro's hostel. looked so diff fr e first nite we bunked there.
kiruna!! my fav part of e trip. us at ice hotel. e overall suit that they loaned us really saved me. if not i would not have returned alive. for sure. how can we not have a drink at e all famous absolute bar. but e drink was really nice. coz there's no need to add ice to e drink.. hence it's not diluted at all. drinking out of e ice glass is really nice experience :) e bartender was kinda cute too :)
every rm had a diff theme. was amazing wat these pple can make out of ice/snow.
there was still a wing under construction (thru e tunnel in e centre pic).
tis was e airport (sorry e sequence is not right but too lazy to arrange)
us on snow mobile. on e night tat i v nearly froze to death. -25 degrees? cant quite rem exactly. just imagine e coldest ever ever ever! n imagine we were on e snow mobile.. e wind was brutal! our eyelashes were all frosted!! n to make tings worse. our guides were lost!! we were in e middle of Thorne river waiting while 1 of e guides went out to look for our cabin. to keep ourselves warm, we jogged arnd. it was really cool actually, we were just cruising on e frozen river. could really drive pretty fast since there is nothin arnd.
our v friendly n interesting guides cooking us dinner. how i envy their lifestyle. btw, tat meal was god damn gd.
activities we did there. it was so freaking cold out there. we couldnt last more than half hr outside everytime.
food tat we cooked ourselves. really enjoyed e 3 relaxing days we had at e cabin. we tot there'll b no electricity in e cabin hence we didnt bring any gadgets. so we were really cut off for 3 days. BLISS i tell u. but anything more we'll prob b bored. but i really loved cooking n napping n lazing by e fire n goin out for walks.
us making snow angels. bottom left is tis ting tat freaked me. haha. it was outside our bedrm window. hahas. looks lk a skeleton crawling out of e snow rt!!
arnd e hse.
look at all e gear we had to put on everytime we went out. loved e fireplace!
different parts of e hse. it was huge for e 2 of us though. 3 bedrms. we slpt in e same rm all e 3 nites. we saw northern lights all 3 nites. we were lucky lucky! but to tell e truth. i was more blown away by e starry stars. i mean it really just left me speechless n breathless. it was tat beautiful. we would just lay on e snow n look up in e sky. it's just so dark arnd. e stars r so near i felt lk they were within my reach!! e only star constellation i know is e orian belt. n it was not directly up, it was abt 45 degrees n it was so near!! LOVED it. really. best part of e trip!
back in stockholm stayed at a different b&b tis time. we stayed in e sodermalm area. it was a more artsy area. v interesting
end of trip! all in all, we reallly had a great time. didnt buy anyting for ourselves coz it was really not worth it. but i wouldnt say tat we scrimped on e trip lar in terms of food. we drank alot when we were there too. oks. i dont tink i'll b back. at least not soon. (mayb norway tho) loved e vibe there. n everyone speaks real gd eng. n they all damn gd looking! oks. everyone shd go! gogogo!
