...limbs slightly hurting from walking (through and out the whole city) but energy levels restored; thoughts are back on track.. Perfect recipe!

(End of) February, for us, was a month of Nordic culture/ architechture/ fashion/ culinary re-discoveries and people watching (this is the only place I have seen so far, where people pull off Converse trainers extreamly elegant and with .. the certain je-ne-sais-quoi) we went to Stockholm

Melkij was happy more than anyone alse, since it was his first trip this year!
(and pyjamas were keeping me warm in between of running ins - rushing outs to dinner/ bars as they promised)

What I liked was:
...eating and seeing ELKS (chocolate, smoking pipe and real ones @ Skansen, which is on Djurgården) EVERYWHERE! cute!
...drinking cup of hot chocolate in a small chocolatier on Stortorget, (which is a main square in Gamla Stan) after a stroll under wet snow and pig puddles
...eating lunch @ Saluhallen on Östermalmstorg
...having dinners @ Riche on Birger Jarlsgatan 4 - which also has a great bar! and @ Marie Laveau on Hornsgatan 66
...none of the clubs were discovered this time, as to be quite frank, we would come back to our hotel's bar area for drinks - to the bar with no menu, on Skeppsbron 12
...shopping @ NK on Hamngatan 18-20 and @ Urban Outfitters - an old cinema building!- on Biblioteksgatan 5 and also peeking through middle of Östermalm & Norrmalm boroughs
...getting stationary @ BookbindersDesign on Humlegårdsgatan 19, where they tailor-make your bindings (duh!) with fresh colours and elegant materials. And one of their logos is "Dont Forget To Write"... so we ran and posted postcards (which we always do anyway:) )
