I found Platform Nine and 3/.4 on my first day in London.

Hello again. Well last time I posted something on here, I was in Berlin, well, now i'm in Stockholm. But what have I been up to? The answer is lots! First up, we had the Pub Crawl!
Well, lets just say I never want to hear the words Pub Crawl ever again! I got so trashed, I had be literally carried out of the third pub we went to. On the up side, everybody knew who I was and didn't have to introduce myself to anyone lol, on the down side though, I woke up with a horrid hangover and threw up a couple of times. I was all good after an hour or so, so thats was ok!
The next day we headed to Copenhagen. We caught a 2 and a half hour ferry ride from Germany, which was quite long and boring, but we were able to buy some cheap alcohol on it as alcohol in Scandinavia is pretty expensive. After about 7 hours on the road/ferry, we arrived at our camp site in right?
That night after dinner (cooked by our on road chef, Rach) we took a city sights tour around the city and visited a place

Me and the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain

called Christiania which is basically somewhere where people can go and do drugs freely without the cops coming in to but them, it was a big eye opener for me, thats for sure. We also visited the Little Mermaid statue which had unfortunately been vandalized. But was good none the less.
The next day, we had the day to explore the city on our own. My new friend Jazz and I wondered the city, saw the sights then got absolutely lost, which was awesome, we found this little square of shops and cafes, we would of sat there for at least and hour having a couple of drinks and watching the world go by. It was really relaxing. We did some shopping and I bought lots of souvenirs. Once we picked up from the city it was about 8:30pm, so we had some more drinks back at the camp site.
We were up at about 6am to head to the ferry to cross to Sweden. That was another long trip, about 9 hours. This camp site is nice, but still pretty average. It was an early night that night.
Today, we did a Stockholm Town hall tour, where the Nobel

Me trying to climb the Berlin Wall, not an easy task

Prize is held, very impressive. We had a couple of hours to ourselves before going to an ice bar. I went to this church where kings were in there tombs, really eerie place. I then headed over to see the changing of the guard at the palace, that was really good, I haven't seen it in London yet, but it was awesome.
We then went to the ice bar, which is pretty self explanatory, ice bar, ice cups, ice seats, everything, pretty bloody cold, but good. We had to say goodbye to about 9 people who had to catch the ferry across to Tallin, Estonia, where they continue on with their tour.
This afternoon we did some shopping before coming back to the camp site where I am now for dinner and a fair few drinks, it is 20 past 11 and it is still a little bit light.
Tomorrow we have another day in Stockholm before heading to Oslo for a couple of days and lose a few more people.
Still getting along with most people, a couple are a little annoying though.
Until next time though, I am going to try and put some photo's so you can
