AD-X Part VI: Taking Stock... Holm

Disembarking from the ferry was just as unpleasant as last time, and in fact made worse by the fact that we didn't get breakfast on it. Luckily the excellence of the breakfast we received at a nearby hotel more than compensated for the wait.

Snazzy stairs too.

 After that it was off to Woodland Cemetery, which is apparently quite famous. I personally disliked the chapels there, but the grounds were breathtaking. I wouldn't mind being buried there, surrounded by trees. 

Very picturesque.

Stylish decorations.

Apparently Greta Garbo approved of Woodland Cemetery.

We were then deposited in an up and coming area of Stockholm called Hammarby Sjöstad. By a completely serendipitous twist a small group of us wound up in the same tiny waterfront cafe as our instructor. It was quite fun to interact with a real live Dane in that kind of setting. Grand conversation naturally ensued.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is in fact a ski area. In Stockholm.

The remainder of the afternoon was spent listening to a presentation by one of the planners of Hammarby Sjöstad. Then it was off to the hostel where we promptly fell into coma-like slumber until it was time to figure out our dinner plans. Team Classy was assembled when we discovered that Zinkensdam Hostel has a kitchen for the use of its guests. The three of us braved a Swedish grocery store and prepared a vegetarian feast, and all was right with the world.

Hey there dinner preparation station.
