As it’s our first time going to Stockholm on the first day, we took a city tour bus to look at the landmarks of the city. As it was the summer the trees and flowers were in bloom adding colors to the street. There were many museums from the famous Noble museum to the Royal Place. Also, the city was surrounded by water and we spotted a number of beautiful boats along the deck. Once we got off the bus we witnessed a marching band, the kids and adults alike enjoyed watching the band play. Later that day we tried a seafood restaurant near our hotel. We usually don’t risk eating seafood aboard however in Stockholm seafood is a common dish and as tourists we had to give it a try. The seafood was quite different than what we were used to back home, the fish looked smaller and served cold. Regardless of the different way the fish was prepared we had a delicious meal. 
The next day we visited the Noble museum. The moment I walked I was overwhelmed by the decor of the museum; each noble price category was arranged in separate areas. On the ceiling, there was a train of posters of all the noble prize winners. The museum showcased the Noble prize winners, their background stories and their achievements. My favorite part was that the noble prize winners were of different ages and race.
On the third day, we took a tour boat and visited one of the many Island near the city. The first thing we did when we arrived at the Island we bought ice cream to handle the hot heat. There was nothing much on the Island except for a restaurant and a couple of restrooms. We a fun time exploring the Island as the forest environment was different from the desert areas in Dubai. The Island was relatively small, and it took us about 30 minutes to complete it. After the Island, we spotted a large antique store in the center of the city. In every antique store, I try to collect as many patches as possible to put them on my diy jeans jacket. To my surprise the lovely owner had almost 20 vintage patches, they were all colorful and unique.
The fourth day we decided to look for a more unique place to visit when we stumbled upon a post on the net about a graffiti wall gallery. The graffiti wall was about 20 minutes from our hotel. The place was interesting as it was in a quiet area with two large walls filled with graffiti. It was like going to a museum expect it's free and the people who did it is probably from our generation. You can tell just by looking at the graffiti that the person who did them was very creative. So glad we went to witness the art of this generation. Later that afternoon, we went to a theme park. Sadly, I'm scared of roller costers but my cosuins pushed me to ride all the ride. You can never have a sad day at the theme park.
On the last day, we felt it was appropriate to spend the day shopping. The stores were mostly local, so it was nice to see the popular trends of the local area. After finished shopping in the center square, we went to a mall. The mall had a bowling alley, sadly none of us were professionals but we had a good laugh at the way each of us tried to throw the bowling ball.
