day 19: stockholm, skansen zoo and vasa museum


second try for the zoo in skansen with hana and ana-clara. we
left the second little child (actually she's a baby) at home at
her father and her grandmother. this time it all worked out well
and we arrived skansen on a sunny and warm day. as this day was
the first without rain but sunshine in stockholm, loads of people
were in the city and in skansen too. skansen is a big park,
consisting of an amusement park, an open-air museum, and a zoo
(and probably much more we've missed). the zoo itself is pretty
big with loads of scandinavian animals, like wolverines, lynxes,
brown bears, mooses (including two baby-mooses, and all of them
were alive!), seals, peacocks, and many many more. after visiting
the zoo we went through the open-air museum. it's similar to
maihaugen in lillehammer. so there were a lot of old houses, but
this time from sweden. within the open-air museum there was a
little amusement park for children too, so we went there.
ana-clara had loads of fun there going with merry-go-rounds (one
with a horse she could ride, and another one with an airplane she
could fly). we had an ice-cream in the meantime.
after that hana and ana-clara drove to town shopping while we
paid a visit to the vasa museum. the museum is about the vasa, a
ship that was built in 1628 and sank on her maiden voyage in the
harbour of stockholm. the ship was lifted in the 50s and was then
brought to the museum. the vasa is an impressive big ship and one
can walk along the ship on four floors. besides the ship there
are always additional exhibitions about building the vasa, people
working and dying on the vasa, etc. we both really enjoyed this
museum.
after that we drove to hana's house again where we finally met my
godfather. we had some barbecue in the garden. he enjoyed
austrian wine we brought him, and had a lot of fun. this was a
really wonderful and great day.
