Sweden: Uppsala, 8th April

was very generously accomodated by friends of a friend exchanging at Uppsala University! that's it on the left

Uppsala's the fourth largest city in Sweden, and the university's the oldest

and the place we'll be staying at, Eklundshof

Galam Uppsala, the Old Town







like we were plonked there

but the Old Town's really nice







































































after lunch, was on the the largest/tallest (oops i don't remember) cathedral in Scandinavia













art exhibitions in the cathedral.. this is Descent from the Cross


part of the university

and then fika time in the afternoon! Fika is apparently something the Swedish do, which is some afternoon coffee-and-talking-about-life thing haha
and then to the library

view of the cathedral from..

the Pink Castle.. that's it in the background.. yeah i know it doesn't have much street cred as a castle huh.. on the plus side who'd think of attacking a pink castle

Botanical gardens













and then we left.. coz it was starting to rain. and it was getting late. and we were getting hungry. haha
