Most beautiful Gondolen: Christmas time
Christmas time is one of the best moment to visit Gondolen and to see the city full of snow. I remember that day with -14 degrees in the up of Gondolen. It was so difficult even to take pictures but it was worth it to see Stockholm in that way. What do you think?

The wall of the fame in Stockholm
It is a strange costume my friends and me have. We have identification sticks that represent our village. When we travel, we bring them with us and we put them in famous places in different cities. Here was in Stockholm, of course, in Gondolen.
