Sverige /Stockholm/ (II)

Mojo's Angels reunion
in Stockholm

After spending our first morning in Gamla Stan, we met up with Sofie at Central Station and began our venture out of central Stockholm to visit Nina in Haninge.

I met Sofie and Nina in Australia in 2006. The 3 of us travelled from Alice Springs all the way down to Adelaide and further on to Melbourne with another German girl Fabienne. We 4 girls went down Stuart Highway on a 60-seat coach and were nicknamed “The Mojo’s Angels”. LOL… Good old days! So it’s almost 5 years and how things changed! Nina was single when I met her and now she’s a mum of 2! Lovely juvley!

Anyway, what I wanted to say is Gaz and I felt SO GOOD cos we make our 3-day metro pass worth by venturing into one of the suburbs!! HAHA :D

Nina’s house is really posh! And she has the most beautiful kids – Olivia and Algot. They are angels! We spent the afternoon chatting away and admiring her house! Dinner was served with reindeer meat and mushrooms hand-picked by Sofie! Yummy yummy :)

Nina cooked us yummy dinner

A BIG thank you to Nina and Sofie for their warm hospitality. We both had such a relaxing afternoon.

Met up with Sofie again the next evening. She took us to a roof-top bar near Södermalm and bought us drinks! It was a nice view up there, I won't deny, but for somebody who has been living in a city of skyscrappers all her life, it was not exceptionally spectacular - if you know what I mean. But anyway, it's really thoughtful of her! We walked from Södermalm all the way back to Hötorget after dinner. I bet it took us like an hour or more~! But we were chit-chatting away so it didn't feel that long.

Really grateful Sofie was there with us! So very kind of her indeed!

Nina took the trouble to bring along Algot and met up with us after taking Olivia to kindergarten the day before we left for Lund. We met up at the butterfly house in Haga Park. I have to confess I really was not too enthusiastic about going there. But someone really wanted to go, so I thought ok then. The butterfly house didn't disappoint at all. We went into this humid and warm greenhouse where butterflies of different colours were nursed - some resting on the leaves, some sucking nectar, some just flying around etc. It was really cool and I took tons of pictures!

But it didn't go down too well with Algot. In the end, the heat/humidity was too much for the little babe :( To be honest, we were all sweating like hell so it was such a relief to go back out to cool fresh air outside!
