Highlight of the day!Highlight of the day!Highlight of the day!

This bunny made my day!!!! SO CUTE! favourite thing in Skansen!
So this morning, surprisingly, Julia woke up really really early!
Anyways, she had a few friends over during breakfast and we all chatted...nice.
Then she decided to go jogging with her friends so she couldn't go to the museums with me in the end...
Oh well, I got a 24 hours travel card and took off to the central train station. Put my backpack in the locker and headed towards the Wine and Spirit Museum.
It was in this kinda...industrial building but the inside was really nice!..They had a free audio guide so I actually was able to understand things...although, all other signs in the museum were all in Swedish...-__-"
It was interesting though! Explained how wine and the different kinds of wine were produced, the history of alcohol in Sweden...and even about packaging and labelling! Learned quite a lot ne!=)

Next, went over to Skansen open air museum....Wasn't actually too interested in the open air museum, but since the Tabacco and Matches musum was inside...I gotta go in to go...^^"
The Tabaco Museum part was quite interesting.....introduced how Tabacco started...the different kinds of tabacco..including this Snus that its kinda exclusive in Sweden..How to prepare smoking and all other stuff!....Interesting
Logo!Logo!Logo!

The Wine ans Spirit Museum!
to know, though, not encouraging smoking here. haaaa! It was nice that in each section of the museum, they had a very detailed stack of paper...with all the information in English!! I basically walked around loooking at the photos and then took a copy and sat down on each floor and read through the papers....haa..kinda like studying....=P
The top floor was the matches museum part. It was small and didn't have too much...but I found out that matches were actually invented in Sweden! didn't know that before ne!

Anyways, after that...walkeda round Skansen.....they had some traditional houses on display...some little info about animals in the country....The place was not crowded and so it was quite nice to just walk around...
The best part was.....THE ZOOOOOOO! haaaa! The first thing at the zoo was a bunny area with these really cute fluffy furry rabbits!!! They were SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO cute!!!!! haa..Loved them! I was so excited when I saw them and just jumped around the cage and took photos.... I think I kinda freaked this women around...she stared at me like...WTH?! haaaaa! Well, after that it wasn't fun coz the staff were actually putting the animals away....=(
So just kept walking and
some alcohol making math!?some alcohol making math!?some alcohol making math!?

completely no idea, anyone a chemist?
then left soon to go back to catch the train to Göteborg...

The train was nice and fast....well, its the X2000 that I had to pay a reservation fee...grrr...><
Arrived right on time...and met Jon at the train station! =) We walked back to his apartment and chatted a bit ...he planned the whole weekend already! haa...ging!..so good....coz I didn't really plan anything in the city...haaaa! Got to sleep on this very comfi matress....^_^
