Ahh Sun! Where are you?

It has been a couple of weeks with out Sun :( So I had to cheer myself up! that was easy just looking at the pictures we took while in Stockholm in the Summer :)))

believe it or not it was 30 degrees there!!! :) without any doubt July is the best month to visit Sweden!

everyone was out enjoying the sun and having picnics!

even the dogs where needing a swim,


relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,


a nice afternoon in Gamla Stan, Stockholm,


this is the place where we had those yummy desserts and with music,


walking along the river,


ahhh nothing like a good summer day!!!


cannot wait for spring to come!!

Organic shops in Stockholm

Following the suggestions in the Stockholm guide from Design*Sponge we visited some really nice organic shops!

First stop was in the Deli Nytorget,

they've put to good use the vegetable wooden boxes,



interesting to see that the majority of the organic products are all from UK!

my favorite drinkss are from the Belvoir Fruit Farms! If you find them do try their drink Summer Cooler (Fresh cucumber and mint with bubbling spring water and a hint of spirit-soothing geranium blossom – this delightful and unique blend is a real thirst-quencher). Is truly summer in a glass!

Next stop the Good Store,


they have a really nice tea selection,

I really like the design of the boxes! again from another UK brand Clipper. Their website is also really nice! In a recent post from the blog Tea For Joy I've found that these incredible labels from Belvoir and Clipper as the yummy cereals Dorset are all made by Big Fish.

another super cute labeling!


another really nice drink! Next stop Östermalms Saluhall market


a true treat to the eye and stomach!

To finish! dinner at the vegetarian restaurant Hermans. Great food with an amazing view!

they have a really nice relaxing area,


and a really amazing view!! for a really reasonable price,


yep! it was a buffet.. guilty!! but it was super tasting!!


amazing desserts,


some interesting words of wisdom in their wall,

and,


tea bags that bring some messages of wisdom,


in general they have a nice sense of humor,


If you visit Stockholm this is a mandatory stop :)

Stockholm's Thousand islands cruise

If you want to take the best of the Stockholm's archipelagos I would definitely recommend the thousand islands cruise! Its a full day of amazing views!!

It departs from the Nybrokajen port,


and with some cake and cafe... yep in Portuguese it can be kind of tricky the cake word :P


amazing views,


during the trip you see some really amazing houses close to the shore,


red, white!


pink!! with the super cute little boat house,



nothing better than laying back and relaxing in the sun in your own little island!


We also stopped in some really amazing islands like this one,


that has some really nice guest houses,


you could also take a bit of sun and swim,

as it incredible as it my sound the water was much warmer then the water in Algarve ...yep true!!! .... but they don't have as many sunny shining days as we have in Algarve :P there had to be a trade off !

You also had a pretty nice lunch and dinner in the boat! I was positively surprised! Normally in this organized trips food is normally nothing special! But on this one there was a lot of local treats!

yummy food with a view!!!


we saw some super nice boats along the way,


as some pretty huge cruises!

definitely one day well spent!!

Stockholm Rocks!!!

Yeeh!! this city simply rocks! especially in the Summer!! Amazing views and don't let me started on the fashionable people you see all around!

Here is a sneak peek of our amazing week there!


Summer in Stockholm is relaxing and enjoying the sun!


doing boat trips around the archipelagos,
