Recently, I had the opportunity to go to Stockholm,where I stayed in the Mälaren, an old steamer ship-cum-hostal which had excellent views of the city:

The main reason (aside from the fact that the Ryanair flight only cost 20 quid) was to visit the Tiki Room, which proved well worth the visit.

Tiki Room is located in the basement of Mellow Bar (which seemed like a pretty cool place in its own right). From the bar area of Mellow, you take a little spiral staircase down to Tiki Room, where you're greeted by this fellow:

& amazed by this bar:

One of the nicest aspects of my visit was that I got to meet Tiki Adam, co-designer of Tiki Room:

Tiki Room was actually closed the night I was there. So, Adam & I just hung out, talked tiki & lost track of time.

Tiki Room's only been open a few years, but has a great tiki vibe. Among the few nouveau tiki bars I've visited, this is definitely the best! Most of the masks & tikis were made by Swedish artists. The attention to detail is exceptional.

What was really cool was that it was dumping snow outside. After about 10 minutes at the bar, I forgot all about season & location. It was bit of a reality check when we ascended from Tiki Room to find ourselves in a city blanketed in snow.

I have 2 regrets from this trip. I wish I had been able to spent more time in Stockholm & I wish I had taken more photos.
