Sweden Day 1
Sweden Day 1 was actually a have breakfast at the sea, drive to Copenhagen, fly to Stockholm, cab it to the hotel, unpack, go get dinner, and go to bed kind of day.
We were staying at the Hotel Rival, owned by Benny Andersson of Abba, located in Sodermalm on a quiet and delightful park.
It was raining as we walked towards the second-hand and ceramics shops the suburb is known for, and we had so much fun window shopping. Then we had dinner at Restaurant Pelikan. We strolled home and sat in the park for a while before retiring to the room. One feature of the hotel is a huge video library so every night we watched a movie just before we fell asleep. We really enjoyed the hotel and it had one of my favorite features–the lights come on as you open the closet doors. Why can’t that happen at my house?
