Old Town StockholmEric let us all sleep in a little after that "wild & crazy" New Years Eve party. Those who stayed up 'til midnight, got a real treat. We saw fireworks all over the city from the party room that we had at the hotel.
We met in the lobby late in the morning and Elizabeth escorted us on the subway/tram to the Old Town of Stockholm. It is on an island in the middle of the city and it still has a lot of the historic features such as cobblestones and narrow streets. There were quite a few shops open, so it was fun to pick up a few more things to bring home. We had a late lunch at a great Italian place...pizza and lasagna...a refreshing change from meat and potatoes.
Then we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our bowling party with the Swedish teams that we played against yesterday. It was a short walk to the bowling alley and the other kids and some parents were already there when we arrived. We did a fun version of bowling where we alternated people every throw instead of every frame. It was timed, so the team with the most points at the end of the hour and a half, won. They hosted the dinner right at the bowling alley and we had burgers and fries!
It was a SHORT night. Our wake up call was at 2 AM with a 3 AM departure from the hotel. The double decker bus returned to take us back to the airport.
