Stockholm: Day 3

Friday was our last day in Stockholm, so we got up early to check out and stash our bags at the train station. By 10:30 we were on a tour of City Hall.

The Blue Hall in Stockholm's City Hall is where the Nobel prize banquet is held every December 10. 1,300 people are seated in this room:




It's called the Blue Hall because it was supposed to be blue, but once the architect saw the pretty brickwork, he didn't want to cover it up with blue. He apparently also didn't want to change the name of the room.

After that we walked over to the Palace, where we looked at the treasury and then wandered around the streets, shopping some more, until it was time to catch our train to Uppsala! Kristiina, who we had met at the hostel in Prague, lives in Uppsala and offered to have us stay with her for a night and go to a student club there. So, we went!

It was great to see some of the girls we met in Prague, although they couldn't all be there. We met some new people, and danced until late'o'clock. :D
