Stockholm has been the latest stop on our summer of European travel. Now the place is beautiful, really beautiful, but it wasn’t the landscape that had both us both, mouth agape, constantly repeating the word – ‘HOT!’.

Now it is no secret that the Swedish are beautiful, but it isn’t until you are surrounded by them in their own habitat that the gravity of the situation really hits you. One lap around a relatively small H&M store had the hot girl count at 23 – we were in the store for a total of three minutes…

So what else did we do? Well we ate and drank here, we stayed here, we visited this museum and walked around the city whilst the temp dropped to bloody 5 Celsius – it is mid May for crying out loud.

As is obligatory check out our pics below.
