My parents visiting Stockholm

The next April weekend my parents came to visit me here in Stockholm.

On Saturday, we just went on a general tour around the city and we didn't visit something in particular. It was still quite cold and windy and I think I should have worn the winter coat instead of a light jacket. :)


On Sunday we went to visit the district Djurgarden, which is mainly a big green park and used to be the royal hunting ground.
First, we payed a visit to the Vasamuseum. There you can see an intact ship which sunk after only 1500m journey in the harbour of Stockholm sometime during 1600. It was recovered some 300 years later and preserved for everybody to visit. I think it's quite amazing and I really enjoyed this museum!





Afterwards we visited a zoo on Djurgarden which showed Skandinavian animals. I was really interested in the wolf, but they seemed a bit exhausted:



The bears however gave quite a show:



There were also Elks and Reindeers but I didn't get that nice pictures.

Anyway, I really enjoyed my parent's visit and we already planed to go to a Jazzclub for my Dads birthday when they visit me the next time! :)
