[Ireland] Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site

[Sweden] First time up North – Stockholm (Day 2)
After staying in the first night at Anedin Hostel, for the rest of our Stockholm trip we stayed in Gamla Stan, the old town, at Mälardrottningen Yacht Hotel. The hotel room is actually a cabin in a ship on lake Mälaren. The cabin was quite small, but the feeling living on a ship was quite…
