And the last day of this series came to an end! This means that you guys will have to wait a long while for another travel series in Sweden and that I will also have to wait to write about it. But exciting things await for this blog!

On our last day in Sweden, we had planned to visit the oldest town in Sweden Sigtuna. If you haven't visited it yet, you guys have no idea about how beautiful it is! And the best part? It's right beside a huge lake, so you get to walk along it, which is rather relaxing, or mysigt! When you look out to the lake it almost feels like the famous lake in Frankenstein, without the darker side and the giant hills, though, haha. Unfortunately, you guys cannot see that in this picture because I forgot to capture that part.

This was a pretty short day-trip. I think we arrived sometime around noon at Märsta station and by six or seven we were back in Stockholm. After arriving in Märsta, a bus waited for us to go to Sigtuna, which is like a couple kilometers away. Once we got there, we wandered around the town for a bit. The houses and locals were so small and colorful. Suddenly the streets were wider and the houses smaller, compared to the big city. I missed the pastel colors of Stockholm, though. But it felt like a perfect run-away town for the summer holidays.

We suddenly came across a rather famous fika place in Sigtuna: Tant Bruns Kaffestuga. Everything was so cute. The terrace was decorated with terrace dark wooden chairs and tables that matched with some white decorations that they also had. This place is famous because of their semla, so we decided to give it a try and taste the worldwide famous semla. It looked absolutely delicious, but, please don't kill me, I didn't like the taste of it. I keep loyal to my beloved dammsugare, haha. However, I took a picture so you guys could see how good it looked.

Full of energy and with a full stomach, we were ready for a little hike of the day and we climbed to a viewpoint and enjoy the views. I took advantage of this time to collect some pine cones because I am that weird. After chilling out for a while, we went down and walked along the lake to enjoy the sun and the view over the water. 

As I mentioned in a previous post, this is the trip in which we try everything but we fail. This time, on our way back. We suddenly just got off the bus at the wrong bus stop in the middle of Märsta and we did the rest of journey by foot. You can guess how much attention we were paying to the journey, haha. And I also forgot to mention in the last post that we tried to taste smörgåstårta aswell, and failed, too, haha. It just wasn't meant to be on this trip, guys. We'll just try the next time. No worries.

This last picture is exactly the last thing I saw before taking the bus back to the station. I hope you guys enjoyed the post and let me know about your experiences in Sweden! I'm thinking of writing about my experience learning Swedish or something related to that. Tell me what you think about it or if you guys are interested! Vi ses snart! (See you later!)

~Love, Ana~
