Even though I have been told on a few occasions, I should keep the blind closed at night, due to the early morning sunrise, I have not bothered much with the advice. I quite like waking up early, and I quite like waking up naturally, you might say, with the sunshine. Besides, when you wake early, you get to see some really terrific things, without the tourist crowd. When I woke early, I wandered into the centre of Stockholm, enjoyed the peace of walking through Gamla Stan, and even saw a group of people riding on horseback.

At the other end of the day, I caught up with Robert and Sandra at Loopen, a bar which overlooks the water, and which I like very much. With its faux palm trees, and relaxed style, it i a great place to relax and chat, and even have a dance. Bliss.
