So sad. Today was the last day of our study tour. We spent most of today driving (I spent most of today sleeping on the bus.) I loved Helsinki, but I think I loved Stockholm even more. Gamla Stan, the old area of Stockholm, was my favorite spot in the city. There were tons of narrow streets, big, old buildings, and great shopping.
The meals on this study tour have been some of the best that I have ever had. Last night we ate at a restaurant in Gamla Stan. We started with a salad, then came the main course, Swedish meatballs and potatoes, then desert, a chocolate truffle. DIS has every little detail painstakingly worked out, so whenever we arrive at a restaurant they bring our food right to us. There is hardly any waiting between courses, and I never have to worry about what to order because DIS pre-se lected the best thing on the menu for us. The portions are always just right too – enough to satisfy any hunger, but not so much as to make you feel sick.
Today on our bus ride back we stopped at a castle for lunch. When we sat down at the table they had our first course already waiting for us – a delicious crab and lobster concoction on bread. Our main course was salmon and potatoes, and desert was a berry parfait. Delicious. I can’t wait for the meals on our next study tour!
