Guard Emma!

The morning started off slower than usual due to the fact that nothing really happens until 10am, so we got up and headed down to breakfast with the plan that we would be at the addnature store for opening at 10am so that Pinko could get some winter boots.. seeing as she thought bringing a Swedish summer jacket as her winter jacket was a good idea.. so we thought it was best she keep her tootsie rolls warm at least. However, plan foiled! The store didn't open until 11! Serious wtf! So we moved on to bigger and better things.. one being the spotting of a tell tale sign of a tinny house!

We didn't go to score! Honest. Although you wouldn't have thought that when Emma spotted this chimney and thought there was a man coming out of it.. and it wasn't til later in the day that she actually realised it was just how those chimneys were and that it wasn't a man poking his head about!

We also quickly discovered that this was a very common scene.. sharp shards of ice waiting to penetrate your noggin! They look wicked impressive in person, you just don't wanna stand or walk under them.

Wooop! We were at cock-a-doodle-dooo! So this time I got a snap with me in it.. 

It wasn't long until we were back on our way, soaking up the sights and snow.. walking through the slush of days past. We were on a mission to get to the palace to witness the changing of the guard! 

Here you can compare, summer and winter Stockholm in a shot roughly in the same area.. I know what I prefer.

Then we were back walking about.. I just had to share this photo on the left coz I look hilarious! You're welcome!

We were a little early for changing of the guard so we did a quick tour around the old town, which means, slippery steep streets and little stores, but lovely lovely buildings, the old look of definitely the best look.

It was time for changing of the guard so we went and took our spots, Emma got the best spot for getting her own guard on..

..while Pinko and I stood at the barrier and were snap happy tourists..
