The Vasa museum is always hard to explain - "It's a sunken warship. It sank like 1 000 meters from shore on her maiden voyage. Awesome!" lol But it is truly amazing. Glad you liked it!
3:38 Just right to the lamp post you can see a cannon ball embedded in the corner of the building. A reminder for us to hate the Danish (but we actually like them). 😁
4:07 In the summer you can fill up your water bottle with free water from this faountain. It used to come from a well, but now it's communal water.
4:33 Yeah, that's trolls. They've been in Swedish mythology for centuries. If a troll catch a ray of sunlight they turn into stone. That's why there are so many rocks in Swedish forest. The trolls are mean though, so be aware. Gnomes is another thing - they look like santa without the Coca Cola colours and they are protecting the animals and farms and we feed them porrige at christmas.
9:40 Yeah, Christian II of Denmark did that. In the red building here you can see like 90 bright pieces put in. That is to remember the people who died in the Stockholm bloodbath.
12:45 Great. We can send an innocent Canadian couple to recon if we can invade Denmark by now. I'll buy you a fika for the trouble! haha 😁
Great content! Love your uploads! 👍But can't wait to see what you would do if your mrs could plan a day or two

5:16 - Yes the waterfountain has drinkable water. It is turned off while it's cold outside to save the pipes and to avoid ice on the ground, but if you are in Stockholm during a really warm summer's day (been a few recent summers with upwards of 30°C) and if you have a waterbottle you can fill it at these fountains. It is the same water that comes out of your tap in the kitchen at home.

It always makes me emotional when people from abroad talk warm heartedly about the country and the city I originated from.
You take so much for granted and get ‘home blind’ when you’ve grown up in a certain place. Sweden is a beautiful place and I’m happy and thankful to have been born here.
Thanks for a great episode about our beloved Stockholm ❤
And yea, you should definitely visit again in the summer when the sun barely sets and the city is in full bloom.
Take a ferry to archipelago’s and enjoy being outdoors late in the evening while it’s still warm enough.
Cheers guys

The Vasa museum is dark with temperature and humidity controlled to slow down the inevitable decomposing of the hull.
