Day Three started with a quick breakfast at the hotel before packing up and heading over to our new hotel, At Six. When we arrived at the hotel, I was stunned by how beautiful it was. The check-in process was smooth, and we headed up to our rooms. My room was just as beautiful as the lobby. I was pleasantly surprised to see I had a balcony.
Once we were settled into our rooms, we all met in the lobby to head out for the day. With the rain holding off a little bit throughout the morning, we decided to take the 10-minute walk to Old Town to explore a little bit and partake in a Swedish tradition, Fika, or a midday coffee break where we enjoyed coffee and some delicious Swedish Danishes. After we finished, it started to rain pretty hard, so we had to call a taxi to get to our next destination, Fotografiska.
Fotografiska, The Contemporary Museum of Photography, Art & Culture, is a living and vibrant place where photography comes to life. The museum features photography and visual arts from around the world by all types of artists, from well-known photographers to newer generations of artists. We explored all the different exhibits before heading to lunch at the museum’s unique farm-to-table restaurant.
It was still raining once we were done, so we had to take a taxi back to the hotel for some down time before our next activity. Next, we had a tour of the At Six hotel where we learned more about the design and see all the different meeting spaces, bars and dining areas. Afterwards we headed to dinner in the main dining room.
We tasted the different types of appetizers the restaurant offers and then ordered our own meal, drinks and desserts. The food was delicious. After our dining experience, a couple of us headed back out to the Old Town to grab a beer at one of the oldest pubs in Stockholm. The pub featured old wooden tables as well candlesticks on every table. It also featured an old-time chandelier lit by candles.
By the time we finished our drinks, I was exhausted and ready for bed, hoping to wake up fresh for our last full day in Stockholm.
Stay tuned for my last installation in my Stockholm blog series.

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
