After thirty-six hours of cruising on the Baltic Sea from Copenhagen, we docked in Stockholm this morning shortly before 9 AM. It has been surprisingly smooth sailing thus far, with sea conditions calm. When we docked, the air temperature was 33 degrees, but it rose to a balmy 60 degrees by mid-day, with clear blue skies and sunshine the order of the day. We had booked an excursion, "Stockholm On Your Own", which provided bus transportation to three separate locations in the city, where participants were free to visit what they wished independently. It seemed like a flexible approach, but as it turned out, there were simply too many sights and too little time devoted to each location. As a result, we came away from today's experience both frustrated and a little disappointed. The first stop ... read more

We were up earlyish yesterday to watch the ships progress toward the port of Stockholm. It has to be one of the prettiest routes into port on any cruise stop ever. Stockholm is spread over 14 main islands, several thousand islets, and is surrounded by the Baltic sea and Lake Malaren. The journey to port gave us close up views of some of these islands and islets. Idyllic looking houses nestled amongst the forests which covered much of the landscape and some homes which were perched right up to the waterline. It looked like an amazing place to live but you would need a boat to get around and it would be fairly lonely at times I imagine. Once we had docked, we decided to walk to the city....this was, in hindsight, a possible error of ... read more

Maart 2019 We komen in de Kampioen een leuke aanbieding tegen van een vakantie naar Zweden. 10 Dagen naar regio Dalarna, naar Safsen, waar we een aantal jaren geleden ook al eens zijn geweest. We vertrekken op zaterdag 11 mei met de auto naar Kiel, varen die nacht over naar Gøteborg en rijden zondags naar Safsen. Op zondag 19 mei weer terug naar Gøteborg en dan 's nachts terug naar Kiel. We komen dan maandag 20 mei eind van de dag weer thuis. Eigenlijk was het helemaal niet de bedoeling om nu in het voorjaar op vakantie te gaan, maar vooruit: vakantie is altijd leuk! ZATERDAG 11 mei 2019 1e vakantiedag Om 8.30 uur zijn we helemaal reisvaardig en gaan op weg voor onze vakantie naar Zweden. We rijden eerst richting Amsterdam en g... read more

Cestu cez svedsko som volil len kvoli kamoske lee, ktoru som spoznal cez cs. Raz ma hostila ona v berline a potom ja ju v seredi. Prvy sok zo svedska bol teplotny. Ono ked dojde clovek z 35 do 10 a pritom kazdy den teplota klesa neni to az taka sranda. Hlavne ked moc tepleho oblecenia niet. V meste dost imigrantov ale zdalo sa, ze su domestifikovany. Zvacsa hovorili svedsky a vyzerali normalne. Doprava je v stokholme draha. No teoreticky sa da vozit v metre a vlakmi (nie normalne ale mestke) donekonecna na jeden listok ak clovek neopusti turniket. No ak pride revizor tak problem. Platnost listku je 75.min, pri opustany metra sa turnikety sami otvaraju. Z letiska arlanda odporucam kupit 24hod kartu a do mesta ist kombi busom a primestkym vlakom. Dalsi den sa povozit ... read more

Nieco okolo 3 rannej ma prebudil prichod lei ale okamzite som zaspal. Definitivne ma prebrala potreba curat a macka co sa dobijala do spalne. Nakonec ranajky mame vsetci traja spolocne. Opat zdravy chleba, falosny syr ale aspon pravy uharek. Lea odchadza odprevadit jonasa do prace. Po prichode mensi pokec, no posielam ju spat. Spala len neake 3hodinky. Ja sa teda pobera na mensiu prechadzku do mesta. Spravil som za 4hod cca 15km. Moj hlavny ciel je odporucany kopcek Skinnarviksberget, z ktoreho ma byt fajn vyhlad na stokholm. Jesennym parcikom cez ktory vedie cyklotrasa sa dostavam az pod most co spaja sodermalm a tuto cast. V tieny je zima tak vyhladavam slnecnu cast. V azii tomu bolo opacne kde som zvacsa vyhladaval tien na ulici. Kukam do mapy a idem prakticky po cervenej trase (mapy.cz) Dostavam sa ... read more
