They then went to a restaurant where they got 'köttbullar med mos' also know as traditional Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes. As the looked through the menu they realized that a lot of the dishes included mashed potatoes, even the sausages. Which apparently in Swedish is called a 'korv'.

On their way home from the restaurant they found a cute little store that sold Swedish stuff and souvenirs. So they found a cute little pin for Nini, and some different types of candy, for now and for their pile. They bought some Marabou (chocolate), some Kex (which is chocolate with some kind of biscuits in the middle), some weird thing called 'hockey pulver' it looked like some sort of powder, so they were hoping it wasn't something terrible, (they later learned that it was super salty licorice powder), and something called 'kalaspatrullen Malaco' which they guessed was a mix of different kinds of fruit gummies, since there was a lot of different small bags inside the big one, and the big one had a monkey on the front. They decided to buy two of those bags for their candy pile and one for them now. They also found some small cinnamon rolls in a plastic container called Gifflar. As they kept buying more and more stuff to bring home they realized that they probably where going to need another suitcase soon, but they didn't need to worry about it yet.

When they got back to the hotel they asked in the reception if there was a possibility of getting their clothes washed. It was possible, you just had to pay 50 Swedish crowns/SEK (their currency), which is a little over $6. So they went up to their room and picked up all their dirty clothes and took them down to the hotel basement where the washing machines were. For those 50 SEK that also rented a drying rack they could bring to their room, so their clothes could dry there instead of some random places at the hotel.

The next morning they decided to go visit the royal palace and some other palaces and the old town. They also went to different places that had beautiful views to pictures. It was almost golden hour when they arrived at one of the destinations, so Ricky insisted on making a golden hour photoshoot. Nini only agreed if she could do one of him as well. They were then asked by a stranger, who turned out to be a freelance photographer, if they wanted him to take some pictures of them together. They thanked him and gave him their camera to take some pictures of them. They turned out to be absolutely amazing. "Thank you so much! Do you need anything for these?" Ricky asked. "You are welcome, and no they are free of charge, the practice was the payment I needed. But if it isn't too much to ask, is it possible for me to have some of the pictures for my portfolio? I will of course add your names under the picture!" The photographer asked. "Of course! We are just grateful that you wanted to take the pictures" Nini said as she sent him the pictures via the Bluetooth function and told her all the information he needed for his portfolio, including what type of camera they had.

(A/N let's pretend that this is them and not some random people, and actually is in Stockholm lol)

They really liked the pictures he took, where Ricky was lifting Nini off the ground, so they decided to post it on their Instagram and tagged the photographer, because his works was really good.

On their last day in Stockholm they decided to explore the city and went on a canal trip, where they got to see the city from the water. They also found a beautiful park called 'Kungsträdgården' that had the most beautiful cherry trees. The locals told them that they were even more beautiful in the spring when they blossomed. As they walked farther into the park they found a local festival. They even found those chess tables you see in the sims, and decided why not play a game of chess in a park?

They left the park to go get something to eat some snacks at a cafe, so they found one with traditional Swedish pastries. They ended up getting something called 'lussekatter', which is a traditional bread they eat to celebrate saint Lucy's (Santa Lucia) day which is December 13th also known as the day of lights in Sweden. (They had a lot of traditions for that day). After eating at the cafe they went back into the city to explore it some more.

When they got back to the hotel they decided to eat at the hotel restaurant for dinner. After dinner they went back to their room and turned on the tv. They found a Swedish channel that had a marathon of Swedish movies from the 80's based on the stories written by Astrid Lindgren.
