Sweden Trip ~ Stockholm!

the flight we booked to Stockholm is from FlyMe, this Swedish Budget Airline.. but the chao bugger go and bankrupt 1 day b4 my bloody flight... den Sterling Airline (the one we think that eat up FlyMe) graciously offered a "FREE" flight for us... so we woke up at 5am (i overslept and woke up at 530 =P) juz to rush to Malmo by 9am... cos some stupid operator told us to reach by 9am.. @#$%^.. den in the end we had to wait for 1hr++++ b4 we can check-in...

reached Stockholm from Malmo on 3rd March... its colder in Stockholm, and i think the place is actually nicer den Copenhagen oso...

Stockholm is actually an archipelago.. made up of several small islands linked with bridges.. we stayed in Gamla Stan, the Old Town.. where the King's palace is.. i guess cos its winter ba.. so actually most of the pics look quite dull and also we took many in the evening, when the sun is setting...

DAY 1 ~ 3RD MARCH

our 1 hr++++ wait at malmo.. got to catch up on some ZzzZzz...
