1st Outing in Sweden

The morning of 23rd April was full of surprises and excitement. It was our first outing in Sweden. Our hosts had planned a lot of interesting stuff for us. We all basically wanted to go for shopping so we exchanged money and walked through the streets of Central Stockholm. We first came across the  St. Klara's Church. This is a huge monument with beautiful architectural designs reflecting back to the 16th century. This is one of the oldest churches of Sweden located in central Stockholm.

      We then paid a visit to the king's garden, kungstradgarden as it is locally called. This was breathtaking. The beautiful pink cherry blossoms covered the sky like a carpet.
                                                                                                                                                                   
 We did a lot of purchasing from the shops in old town (Gamla Stan). We walked across the bridge to get a view of the whole city.
 
 
The trip was just not limited to shopping. We got a wonderful experience and I completely agree with a quote by Martin Buber that " All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware".
       Wherever you go, selfie is a must 😜
