Stockholm 2017 - Part 1

It's Time For Another Shorttrip

Friday - August 11th 2017

August 15th is an official holiday here in Austria and so we took Monday and Friday off to take a break and to travel to Sweden. Friday morning we drove to Munich airport from where our Lufthansa flight to Stockholm departed. Some traffic jams later we finally arrived at the airport and headed straight through security. Since we had some time to kill we got an early lunch at the Hans Im Glück Burger Grill restaurant until it was time for boarding. An uneventful flight later, we landed at Stockholm airport. There we caught the Arlanda Express train, it connects the airport with the city, and twenty minutes later we were in Stockholm.

On the Way to Stockholm

For our stay in Sweden's capital city we booked the Mornington Hotel, which was located in the Östermalm area of Stockholm. Once we arrived there, we checked in, dropped off our luggage in our room and refreshed a bit before checking out the city. Our room wasn't very big, but it was very comfortable.

Breakfast Area and Bar

At a nearby bar we enjoyed a welcome drink and then we were on our way to a very cool vegetarian restaurant called Hermans. The restaurant has a very lovely outdoor seating area that provides a fantastic view over the cruise harbour, and we were lucky enough to get a table right at the edge. The outdoor seating area alone is worth visiting the restaurant, but the vegan food tops that easily. On weekends the restaurant offers a BBQ in addition to the buffet. All I can say is that I enjoyed every minute there. The food was delicious, the weather was perfect and the atmosphere was just wonderful. After that delicious dinner we walked down to the cruise port where we got two beers at a beautiful bar. On our way back to the hotel we stopped at a supermarket to buy a vegan Cornetto and some beers for the evening.
