Time off

We went to Stockholm this weekend to visit Tina and Massimo. I haven't been there since they bought the house, so I felt it was time to check that out too. Boy have they put a lot of work into that house, but wow, so beautiful it was!
Massimo, being a real Italian, made bruschetta and lovely pasta for dinner. Seems like that's the essence of real Italian food, simple but very tasty. We rented some good movies (Transporter 3, Burn after reading and Madagascar 2), ate good food and had lots of fun together.


The hardest part of the trip was leaving Klara at the grandparents for the duration. Strange feeling, knowing we won't see her for two days. Probably, it was harder on us than on her. Feels like I used my camera more for viewing pictures and short clips of Klara, than taking pictures.


A trip out to the archipelago was a must, as I've never been there, and people keep telling me what a beautiful place that is. Unfortunately, the weather was not perfect for this, but we managed to avoid the rain pretty well. Dalarö was a really nice, very small village, with some pretty houses on the beaches.




On Sunday we walked around "Gamla stan", the old town, also a must for any tourist. A must-go restaurant is vapiano, an Italian pasta/pizza restaurant, where they make their own pasta, and prepare everything right before your eyes, and the taste was... mmm. Also, it wasn't expensive compared to other restaurants in the neighbourhood. There's even one in Budapest! :)


When we got home, we both just wanted to have Klara near us, so we did what we every morning after swear never to do again, had her between us for a bad nights sleep. :P After all, we just had two days of relax and fun, sleeping 'til 9am, what a luxury!


Today was really strange. In three days I managed to totally forget everything about Klara's routines, so planning for the day was really stressful. Even more so, since I had to adjust her nap to be able to get to the doctor at 1pm. I guess I'll get back with the program soon enough.
