Sweden – Stockholm 2

July 29, 2015

Today we visited two museums. The Vasa museum and the ABBA Museum. The rest of the day was filled with shopping… yes, my daughter convinced us. Now I am completely done!!!

Sweden – Stockholm

July 28, 2015

Today we arrived in the capital of Sweden. It is a really lovely city and like each one, we visited by now very, very clean and well fostered. We went through the old town, visited the Royal Palace, strolled through the shopping miles, and went on a little boat tour.

Sweden – Trosa

Hey!!! We had a great day with a lot of sun today. After a coffee in this special little café in Nyköping

we went back to the hotel and I turned on my laptop quickly.

Sweden – Nyköpinghus (Castle)

When it stopped raining tonight we took the chance and headed for the nearby castle just around the corner of our hotel.

Sweden – Norrköping / Nyköping

Hi again from a country where every village sounds like a piece of furniture. Since Rich keeps you updated about my mission here in Sweden I had to submerge for a few hours. But I share some secret photos with you of the places I was…

Sweden – Linköping/Locks

July 25, 2015

The weather went down today. We were lucky that it was dry although pretty windy and cool in the morning. We drove to the locks of Berg. There are 10 locks altogether leading from the lake to the river (and the other way around of course).

Sweden – Uppsala

July 24, 2015

Today I bought a new pair of sunglasses. It turns out that whenever I travel the world lately I either forget them at home or I take the wrong pair along. When I wanted to put on my sunglasses today and opened up the case I looked a bit surprised (not as surprised as I looked when I found the condoms in my daughter’s room…). I took along the sunglasses of my daughter. But the ones she wore when she was 11. My collection of sunglasses is growing.

But now I want to share our day in Uppsala with you and the trip from there to Linköping. It was a 4 hour’s drive. We were led through forests and along lakes and ponds. Sweden is spread with ponds and lakes all over this huge country. But now enjoy the photos:

Sweden Report – Arrival in Uppsala

July 23, 2015

After we arrived in Stockholm (with more than one hour’s delay) we drove up to Uppsala – a famous university town. It was a 25 minutes drive but the weather changed like I know it from England. Tomorrow we will explore the cathedral, the old town, and the castle before we continue to our next destination.
