One day my niece took us on a lovely walk across the city. We went on a foot path above the town with some tiny parks and a great view of Stockholm and ended the walk along the river with boats that had been turned into hotels and a youth hostel. 


Our trip in October to Stockholm was unexpected. I loved it because I had my niece all to myself and didn't have to share her with the rest of the family. Our flight had a lay-over in Newark, New Jersey and  we had a great lunch at the Grant Central Station Oyster Bar. The original one in New York City being one of my favorites. Once we arrived in Stockholm we took the Arlanda Express, the fast train to town down Stockholm. The taxis in Stockholm are not controlled and can be astronomical expansive. The Arlanda Express is clean and has wifi. We were able to walk to our hotel which was convenient located near the old part of town. On the first night, after taking a nap, we took a nice walk through the old part of town. 
Here you find cafes restaurants and tourist stores. It gets much more interesting and local if you walk up the little side streets . It is here that we ate the next night. The restaurant "KRIP IN" was  recommended by an employer at our hotel. It served regional cooking at its best . My husband had venison, I had a delicious chanterelle salad  and my niece had a chanterelle soup. We  all shared  a local berry desert.

Another day we took the trolly  to the Vasa Museum. Here you find a restored wooden war ship that sank on her maiden voyage in the Stockholm harbor in 1628. It is amazing to realize how much work and effort it took to restore this ship. I also loved the fantastic video display they had showing life around the world in 1628.  In my opinion the Vasa Museum is a must see when in Stockholm . I'm sorry I missed the  Pippi Longstocking Museum, Junibacken, my  beloved childhood character from Astrid Lindgren. 


During our time in Stockholm we also visited the royal  palace which is very nice except very often parts of the palace are closed if  there is some sort of State function.

The Museum of Photographs was interested . I enjoyed the Smørbrød, an open sandwich I had in the Museum cafeteria . Here we had a nice chat with the locals. 



It was great to visit with my niece and get to see a city I've never been to.  I'm glad I decided to do this despite the long flight

We took two boat rides, one a city tour which was very nice and we saw the outer parts of Stockholm. We took another longer boat ride to Vaxholm, a cute little coastal town in  Stockholm's archipelago . It reminds me of Carmel in California . Unfortunately the bakery that was suppose to be outstanding was closed for the winter but fortunately we found a bistro with good food where we had lunch.

    I love to cook and I also love to travel. Traveling exposes me to a wide variety of food and experiences. I walk around cities looking for markets, restaurants, bakeries, shops, you name it, if it is related to food you will find me there, tasting, smelling, talking to vendors, having a great time.
