Stockholm
August 19th 2017
Today is a travel day. Sandy and Grace need to fly back to Chicago for school and work. I was able to convince Wendell and Pearl to travel some more, so I made plans to take them to Stockholm and Copenhagen. Once Sandy and Grace were off to the airport, Wendell, Pearl and myself boarded a train to Stockholm Sweden. This was a six hour train ride.
I had reserved a beds at the STF af Chapman & Skeppsholmen Vandrarham. This is an iconic 19th-century ship permanently moored on the island of Skeppsholmen.

We walked to the Old Town part of Stockholm and found a nice plaza where we were able to get some dinner.
Since the ship is anchored on an island, we had to do a bit of walking to get around. There were bridges that would take us to Old Town and back. It was really nice to be on the water and see the city light up at night.

Since we were on an island, there were walkways to get around.
Ship Mates!
Inside our room on the hip. There were six bunks. We occupied three of them. Two other people arrived later and slept in the other bunks. Life in a hostel!
