Stockholm, capital of the Scandinavian.... enjoys some of the photos. Pictures tell a thousand words.
Grand hotel in Stockholm city. This is where the yearly Noble prize selection committee members stay and it is the most expensive hotel in Stockholm.
Gotland Island , Sweden. Ferry ride is from Oskarsham in Kalmar ( which is 3hrs from Stockholm) and the ride is 3hrs to destination Gotland in the Baltic sea. Mind you, the ferry is a ten storey huge ferry and could accomodate 1500 passengers and 100 cars.
This is Gotland Sheep, ( very much different from our local mek mek goat) supposedly the best ever taste lamb in the world. Was told that apart from Gotland the other such good lamb would be from Ireland. Gotland lamb is such well known in the world as the rearing of the sheep is in the farms of limestone formation and these sheep feed from the wild marjoram & other herbs grown there .
This whole lamb is what was left after slaughtering it for our BBQ dinner which was marinated with 10 types of herbs for 6 hrs. The meat just melt in your mouth ( just like Kobe/Waygu beef) and with no smell at all. Gotland meat – lambs are active, quick to suckle and fast growing, reaching ideal slaughter at 5-7 months of age. The meat is mild, good flavored and close-grained
No words could just describe how it taste..... it's is only in Gotland that you could have this type of lamb!!!
The Gotlands received worldwide attention when the movie "Lord of the Rings" featured the Magic Elvin Cloaks made of Gotland wool.
And this is the finest lamb served...it's the best ever lamb tasted....go together with a bottle of red wine Shiroz 1997 ...and the rest of the whole BBQ lamb...gone in 2hrs..so much good food so little stomach.... so lamb lovers...go to Gotland
Seeing these pictures, it's just beautiful and wow wow and if you are just there...it's simply awesome & astonishing. So folks out there, wanna go to Stockholm & Gotland.......let's backpack there next summer and maybe to Copenhagen & Helsinki ( is just another 1 day overnite ferry ride from Stockholm) ..... watch out for the next MATTA fair discounted rates..unbelievable fares !!!
