AD-X Part VII: The Last Hurrah

After breakfast we went on a walking tour of Gamla Stan, the oldest part of Stockholm. It's really quite beautiful, situated on a hill overlooking the water. The streets are possibly the narrowest and most winding I've ever seen. Think Copenhagen, reduced by 50%.
The palace. It is large and impressive.
The buildings are also very colorful.
A small group of us then walked to the City Library, which is a pretty cool building. It would be a great place to go hang out and read, assuming I could read Swedish that is.
It's round.
Jennifer and I then made our way out to the Kastellet which is on a small island overlooking the cruise ship docks, going through the rad-est subway station ever.We met some very jocular Slovenian guys there who were traveling through Europe for a few months. 
Super duper.
Quaint and picturesque, just like most of the city.
Our whole group then convened at Moderna Museet and the Architecture Museum, both of which were very interesting. 
Glass sculptures.
Another sculpture.
Dinner was on DIS at a classy restaurant in Gamla Stan. Very hyggelig. Also very delicious food. We found out after the fact that the traditional Swedish meatballs were in fact made of reindeer. After dinner some of us went out to a club to listen to some techno. Good times.
Gamla Stan by night.
