We left the sunny shores of Malta to the fresh crisp air of Sweden to meet our other sister, Jodie, who was on a work trip to Paris and took some time out to meet us in Stockholm. Being a designer, Stockholm was at the top of Jodie’s list of destinations. Kayla and I landed hours before Jodie and from the moment we landed we were impressed. The hostel was cool, the shops were cool, the cafes and restaurants were all so damn cool! I knew that Stockholm and I would get along just fine!
We got a recommendation to eat at a local Scandinavian cuisine restaurant around the corner from the hostel and couldn’t say no to traditional Swedish meatballs served on silky smooth mash with a lingonberry sauce - a traditional Scandinavian berry found in the forests. These amazing balls of meat kicked arse over the IKEA ones I was used to!
With only 24 hours in Stockholm, basically our time spent was shopping or eating. We discovered so many amazing secrets in this city, from an old vintage shop in the remains of an old fire station, to fresh organic uber cool supermarkets.
To top it all off was our final dinner at such a great restaurant on the waterfront, B.A.R. recently opened its doors and serves mainly seafood with such a great concept of your waiter taking you to the ‘market’ to meet the chef and choose your meat/seafood and help to choose your accompanying side dishes. The whole experience was amazing, impressive and I will be back in heartbeat.
