Ice Bar, Nobel Prize, Vikings
Sep. 7th, 2005 10:45 pmI sipped a Wilderness (lingonberries! vodka!), from a glass made of ice, which I held with oversized black gloves that were attached to what I wore- a strange silver costume with a lining of fake white fur around the hood. The bar itself was also made from ice, as were the tables and a few sculptures.
The Nobel Museum's exhibits about Einstein and other assorted Nobel Prize winners (Schrödinger, Camus, etc) were interesting, but I was still glad to bump into Sartre who was the first person to voluntarily decline a Nobel Prize (because he felt that all prizes unavoidably make the recipient less free).
The Historiska Museum contained viking treasures and rune stones, where as the Junibacken contained Pippi Longstocking and other characters created by Astrid Lindgren in a kind of theme park. After pretending to be Pippi at the sea-side-esque board that you put your head through, I concluded that I was too old to actually go inside the Junibacken and instead had to content myself with the fact that I had earlier swung a Viking sword around at the Historiska Museum.
Dill-flavoured crisps, bright orange cloudberries and rhubarb drink were amongst my consumptions.
