bandy stick

Saturday in Stockholm, my favorite day of the week. I had big plans today, take some pictures, and buy an indoor bandy stick. What is bandy you ask? Well it's a game that also goes by the name of floorball. It's very similar to floor hockey in Canada, and it's very popular in Sweden and the other Scandinavian counties. Here are the Wikipedia entries for both floorball and bandy.

A guy at work invited me out to play last week. We played at a an Ericsson campus with a bunch of his friends who work there. He invited me to join them again, so I can be that bad! Anyway, I decided I should have my own stick!

My trip to buy a bandy stick took me to Gamla Stan (old city) and Södermalm. I knew full well where to buy the stick, but i went for an adventure walk as well. It was the first time I stepped foot on Södermalm. Walked around there for a bit, but my plan is to go back with the Lonely planet book and do a real tour to see the sights., perhaps tomorrow. I found my way to the top of the Katarina Elevator which is something like 10 storeys high. While I was up there I had the opportunity to see a cruise ship pulling in. So I whipped out my handy cell phone and snapped a pic.

One thing i noticed, it's 20mins to 18:00, and it's still light outside. Spring is here.... :)
