I hope to keep this up to date as I spend the next 2 - 3 years in the Netherlands. Why the land of giants? Apparently the Dutch are the tallest in the world! I may change the title if I feel more creative....
Stockholm

I have to confess to feeling a bit yucky this morning as I awake from a great day in Stockholm.
Arriving in Stockholm lunchtime yesterday we met up with 3 friends of ours from WoW: Jonny (Bonewisher), Alex (Shindra) and Kenneth (Nimtix) and proceeded to wander into town.
After some discussion we decided we were hungry, found a deceptivly small from the outside Mongolion barbecue and proceeded to OM NOM NOM on noodles mixed with a variety of stuff... in some instances I have never seen platefuls of food quite like it (Alex / Stoff).
After lunch we took a walk into Gamla Stan (old town) and had a brief look at the castle, Stora Torget (main square), where the Stockhom bloodbaths took place (conflict between the pro and anti unionists). As an aside as you walk out of the main square there is a building with a cannon ball stuck in the corner sadly none could remember the relevance..
We took coffee and beer in old town and watched the world go by whilst chatting about stuffs as you do and then walked back to find a bar near Stockholm central to finish off our day.
I have to say though being a little tipsy on the train is a bit EURGH
Enclosed are a few pics of the day... Enjoy
