5th March 2006 Sunday Eng and I are early birds and it was unfortunate that Noreen had to wake up the same time as us to have breakfast together. Thanks for waking up pal! Eng could be a qualified travel guide as his itinerary and amount of comprehensive information he had gathered for our trip were pretty impressive and of course, tailored so much to my interests 
We left for Gamla Stan after breakfast but we didn’t get to the subway station after half an hour as we were busy snapping photos of the environs outside Noreen’s apartment.

I didn’t realised that I seemed to be obsessed with bicycles as every shot has its occurrence

Anyway, we arrived in the end. Gamla Stan literally an “old Stockholm” is a small island in the middle of the city. With its narrow lanes and attractive highlighted buildings, it is a charismatic vicinity to visit.
Identify the fake windows in one of the pix. Apparently in olden times, residents were being taxed for "installing windows" (ooopsss too much IT by now) in their units as it was considered luxurious.
again… nice pictures… I like snow, probably because we don’t get it here…
