The docks outside Gamla Stan were once filled with filthy smugglers and seductive ladies of the night. In these times, there was a place around the corner where merchants collected bricks and coffee for export. The legacy of this old shipment warehouse remains within the walls of the new jazz and booze den, Bar Brahe.

I'm disoriented. The winds have disrupted our course, and everything feels strangely familiar. Have we been here before? It's the same, yet different, unsettling. We need a break from all of the shenanigans and bring our knowledge from these travels to make it out in one piece.
