SWEDEN, WINTER '15

"We do not even see the sun for several months in the north of Sweden" - Alexander Ahndoril

I've spent many years running away from winter in South Africa. In fact for a full 3/4 years I only owned 1 pair of long pants and regularly wore Havaianas everywhere.
Anyways this was my 1st proper winter holiday since USA 2006/7

Stockholm is a totally different vibe in the heart of winter, it's almost like the city goes to sleep. The nights are cold and long without say. Funny enough I actually enjoyed the cold for once in my life. I guess I don't mind the cold as such, it's more of the combination of cold and rain at the same time I can't handle, this makes me grumpy, I am a fan of summer rain though.. provided i'm not having a braai.

Anyways on this trip, my awesome gf, Hanna reminded me that it's never too cold if you're dressed warmly enough
