My two weeks with Gabriella

Me and Gabriella finally met! She came to Belgium first for a week and then we traveled together to Sweden where I stayed a week at her place. It was in one word amazing! I'm so glad we finally did this. We're definitely going to meet again, many many times!

We tried to visit cities and cool places and such but the purpose of meeting was just to do 'normal' things together and hang out with each other so we spent a lot of time watching Supernatural (while eating tons of chocolate), scrolling Tumblr (and giggling with the links we sent each other), running around on Guild Wars and go to the store to buy more chocolate. But we also did active things like... Biking! Yes, biking.

We also tried to go Rollerblading together but the weather was hating on us so we only got to do that once, which was enough for Gab to teach me how to use the break! After an hour training on the hills in Sweden I think I got the hang of it.

I don't have many pictures of Belgium since well... It's Belgium! But I got this lovely fries...

And chocolate cake that we made. Yummy.

I finally got to meet Gabriella's adorable cute dog! I know now why Gab takes so many pictures of him. He's just really, really, really cute and adorable and... Ahh! Oh and he has a fluffy head.

I usually don't bother much with breakfast but Gabriella knows how to have a great breakfast. Cheese, fresh ham, toast with butter, yogurt, muesli,  hot chocolate, ... It made me like breakfast! (Although our breakfast was more at lunch time... Hehe...)

I forgot to take a mouse to Sweden so Gabriella let me borrow her amazing car mouse. I miss it already.

Tourist alley in the old part of Stockholm! There were a lot of souvenir shops that all sold the same stuff. It's awesome being a tourist.

Gabriella was a great guide. She explained me that on this picture you can see a round-ish building and a tower and more building. Fascinating!

Our lunch. A hamburger from MAX! It was pretty good.

We ate the burger on a bench in some park. We quickly got company from some birds.

We met up with a friend of Gabriella who knew Stockholm much better than Gabriella. She dragged us to a tiny path with an amazing view.

There's a hill nearby Gabriella's house with a ski piste. Jealous!

Dog!

We climbed the ski hill to have a nice view it was pretty tiring but totally worth it. We could see Stockholm from up there!

You can see Stockholm in this picture. It's at the white ball-building.

On our last day we went to a kind of park in Stockholm. They recreated old Swedish farms and had various animals that were typical for Sweden. Most of the animals were hidden though.
