Stockholm Sweet Home - Stockholm, Day 3

Last day of the trip. I didn't get to see all the museums I wanted to but I'm okay with it because I spent a lot of quality time with great new friends and museums will always be there.

I took a tram to the Modern Museum.  I knew I was in the right place when I saw these colorful sculptures.



I always like modern and contemporary museums because they always have interesting exhibitions you don't often see. Unlike Helsinki's Kiasma Museums, these ones weren't particularly divisive and thought-provoking, but they were pretty cool.




This water display was pretty neat. It was just a black room with mist continually going.
And this room where prisms of light were continually moving around the room.

I liked this diamond wall.  It was so pretty and shiny.

This room just consisted of the string being blown back and forth in a room with sand on the ground.
Machine that powered the string!
This room was really trippy. The lights made everyone in the room look like they were black and white.  




After this, I took a long walk around to Gamla Stan, the Old Country.  I happened to walk around the palace when there was a changing of the guards.

Since I have a picture of me with guards in two other countries, I decided to be consistent.



This statue is so cool.
And then the sad ice cream thing that happened.



Then I met up some of my favorite friends from this trip at the Nobel Museum.

This was my Nobel ice cream to make up for the one I dropped.  It took a while for it to come out but was delicious!
I didn't get a picture of the inside of the museum, but it was cool.  So I pulled these ones from the internet.

I don't know how I spent the rest of the day.  Wandering around the city and hanging out until going out at night.  Which was also an adventure in itself.  I didn't even sleep that night because I bought so much stuff and it took so long to pack.  We headed to the airport at like 4am and slept on the chairs because we were so exhausted.

I had an unexpected surprise on my flight from Stockholm to Newark.  I had a middle seat, which I was bummed about, but there wasn't anyone next to me and I was in the first row of coach, behind business class, so I had extra leg room.  I could've curled up horizontally in the two seats, which I was contemplating doing, but decided not to.  SAS is a very nice and clean airline that I'd recommend flying.

I had an amazing time on this trip.  I made so many great friends and had a ton of fun.  End of blog.  This took forever and, let's be real, it wasn't that great. I have to think of an easier and better way to do this before Brazil.
