On Saturday we took the plunge and finally booked our
honeymoon. We had been certain of what we wanted for quite a while but spending
that much on a holiday sent a few shivers down my spine! But, as countless
people have told me, this is a once in a lifetime. We are never likely to be
able to spend this kind of money on a holiday again, so we decided to GO FOR
IT!
Where are we going?
I can’t say our destination is the normal honeymoon
destination for most couples but Stockholm is perfect for us. Beach holidays,
we have found, don’t float our boat so we wanted somewhere worth exploring.
We both love a few things Swedish 1) Swedish music aka ABBA!
Ok so this is more my OH’s thing, but I don’t mind a bit of ABBA. 2) Swedish
Literature and Film. We are both big fans of ‘the girl’ trilogy and the OH also
loves Let The Right One In. So we are already eager to go on the ABBA tour and ‘the
girl’ tour.
There are also so many amazing museums are we are trying to
whittle down which ones we want to visit. We will also be visiting during their
national day, which is supposed to be a much celebrated event with Swedish flags
everywhere!
Stockholm looks like an amazing city, with so many things to
explore. We can’t wait!
Where are we staying?
Ladies and gents, let me introduce you to The Hotel Rival.
This masterpiece is owned by Benny from ABBA and is the
first boutique hotel in Stockholm. You get your very own teddy bear and ABBA cd’s
in your room...easily pleased...me? And what other hotel is there, that has their
own song?! Yes that’s right...
