To be honest, I don’t know why Zurich wasn’t high on my list of places to visit. I guess I imagined lots of banks and commerce and without much character and considered it just a stepping stone to the hills and mountains. Or part of …
And onward to Stockholm! With only two full days in this beautiful city we wanted to make the most of it from the get-go, including fully immersing ourselves in something quintessentially Swedish. Thus we were staying at the ABBA themed Pop House Hotel and Museum! …
