The sun won't go down!

One of the strange things about Stockholm in the summer is that the sun never really goes down! At around 11pm it gets a bit darker, but it's more like dusk than night time. At around 1am or 2am it starts to get brighter again! This is very strange when you are out.

Peter and I spent the day exploring the old city and walking around checking everything out. We decided that tomorrow we would get the "Stockholm Card" which gives you the ability to travel around on the public transportation and gets you in free or at a discount to most of the main monuments, museums, and attractions.

We spent the evening on a boat/bar called the Patricia. Luckily, we were there on Saturday night and not Sunday as we later heard that it turns into a different kind of place on Sundays.

One of the interesting things about most of the bars in Stockholm is that they all have roulette and blackjack in them! It's very low stakes (minimum $3 bet and maximum $6), but it still provides a nice distraction if you get bored. Of course I played and managed to win enough to pay for the cover charge and a few drinks. Not bad.
