On Saturday, everyone rested until about 1pm and then the girls and I went to the mall for lunch. After lunch, we visited the zoo. We spent two hours at the zoo and then got ice cream. We came back to the hostel and then we went to Ev's favorite kabob place again for dinner a couple hours later (lol).
On Saturday morning, the girls and I decided to sleep in and then everyone just chilled in the room until 1pm. We all decided to go explore the same island where we toured the Vasa Museum to visit the zoo. We stopped at the mall on the way there to get lunch. As we walked through the mall, I saw these cute Swedish flag donuts and had to take a picture. We ended up going to an Italian restaurant. Chloe and I shared a pizza (I took off the tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella).

It took thirty minutes to get the zoo. We were able to get the student discount and even though we got there two hours and fifteen minutes before it closed, we had enough time to see all of the animals. Before getting to the actual zoo, we had to go up a mountain that seemed to never stop winding. We surely got our workout in before even walking around to visit the different animals.
We saw two or three bears, moose, European bison, seals, otters, reindeer, ducks, ducks, and more ducks (seriously, they had their own field). One of the first places you reach once you get to the top of the mountain is the children's zoo. At the children's zoo, you get to pet baby goats. They were super cute! We just went in a circle around the outer edge of the zoo until we saw most of the animals. The lynx and wolverines were playing hide and seek; we did not get to see them. However, one of the bears smiled when I took a picture. We got to the reindeer last; we could not tell them apart. MaryEllen said the one pictured below was Prancer (lol). The zoo was very big and had great views of the city. We took a few pictures at the end. Chloe wanted to go to the Abba Museum that was down the street so MaryEllen, Ev, and I got ice cream and walked around while we waited on her to finish the museum.

After Chloe finished, we walked back to the hostel to rest. A couple hours later, we went out for dinner and went to the kabob place again. I ordered a chicken and fry dish, I forgot the exact name of it. It was pretty good. When we got back to the hostel, we just chilled for the rest of the night.
