Vikings and Buffets (Day 8)

Who knew a late start could lead to such an epic day in Stockholm? We bolted off the ship and grabbed some caffeine at a cozy coffee shop before hitting the ground running (well, more like brisk walking) through the massive Westfield mall. ‍♀️‍♂️ With our stomachs rumbling (and a whole lotta restaurants closed!), we strategized and landed on Pong, a delicious Asian buffet. Dim sum, sushi, Chinese stir-fry, and even a Thai Tom Yum soup later, we were refueled and ready to explore! Dodging the pre-game crowds, we made our way to the Vasa Museum, home to a majestic Viking warship that spent centuries chilling at the bottom of the sea. ️ It was fascinating to learn its history and see the incredible preservation efforts. After soaking up some Viking vibes, we relaxed with a bit of people-watching in the vibrant Museum Square. People-watching is a great way to get a feel for a city's energy, don't you think? Finally, it was time to head back to the ship for a celebratory dinner - it's our second to last night onboard after all! What a whirlwind day in Stockholm!
