Yesterday I took the red line and stopped at The University. No don’t get me wrong. I’m a true labourer and not interested in reading books in the library or taking classes in maths. I had other intentions with my trip.
Walk about 100 meters from the University subway station and you find The Swedish Museum of Natural History. No you won’t miss it, the building is quite magnificent. This year the museum celebrates the 300th anniversary of Carl Linneau’s birth. Happy B-Day Calle! So besides taking the tour among ancient and present nordic animals and the very important Mission Climate Earth - Exhibtion you can discover the life and work of Linneaus. Actually very sexy. But the real highlight of The Swedish Museum of Natural History visit was Cosmonova. The only IMAX-cinema and the largest planetarium in Sweden. I watched the movie Deep Sea and it was quite an experience. Make sure you don’t have a tendency for sea sickness.
To finish off my “University-tour” I went to Bergianska Trädgården, Stockholms Botanical Garden. It’s located next to Brunnsviken and is a real oasis in Stockholm. I went for nice cup of coffee and just enjoyed the fantastic air and the trees and flowers from all around the world.

The Nobel Prize Banquet is held annually on December 10th, to commemorate the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. During that time of year the attention of the world is on our town, and the intriguing prospects of who wins what and who wears what. However, this building is far more exciting than that, and what’s better is the fact that every day the Nobel Prize Banquet isn’t on, you’ll be allowed in! The actual building itself was built between 1911 and 1923, and contains some 8 million red bricks. Centred on two large squares, the design by architect Ragnar Östberg also comprises an outer yard and an indoor hall. This hall of course is where all the posh Nobel Prize dining takes place. The organ in the hall is known to be the largest in all of Scandinavia, holding an impressive 10,270 pipes! So what is the reason I’m telling you all of this? Well, because if you make a visit to Stockholm without going up the tower of the 
As you may have gathered by now, I’m very much into heavy shopping sprees with the occasional café, restaurant, or bar visit wedged in between. But a girl must enjoy the local culture on offer too, right? I took some friends with me last weekend, and we all went out and purchased 
I might have played one of the least intriguing parts of the musical but that never put me down. Being Puffy the Steamboat I got to enjoy the best parts of the greater city area, parts that some didn’t even know existed. That is why I haven’t left this costume since I was singing and dancing in Stockholm the Musical. With the blog and my steamboat costume, I will from now on be able to combine my two most favourite interests. Telling people where to go, and how to get there. Now this was simply my introduction, I hope that next time I post here you’ll be prepared and ready to take notes. After all, the Stockholm archipelago consists of some 24,000 islands, and I won’t expect you to forget what I tell you. Now it’s time for my daily trip out to Vaxholm.
