0604 Woensdag – Stockholm Met de metro naar Stockholm stad. Bestemming : Gamla Stan (oude stad). Stockholm is een mooie stad gebouwd op 14 eilanden met elkaar verbonden door 15 enorme bruggen, deels gelegen in de Baltische zee, deels gelegen in een enorm meer Mälaren. Twee sluizen vangen hoogteverschil tussen meer en zee op. Een Vlaamse Stockholmse gidste ons gedurende 3 uur door de bezienswaardigheden. Goede training voor wat ons nog te wachten staat. Gezamelijke lunch in de keldergewelven van een historisch pand. Een rendierstoofpotje. Lekker. Daarna kozen we voor een 2 uur sightseeing rondvaart met een grote bateau mouche waarbij we de stad op de diverse eilanden vanuit een andere hoek konden zien. Dat ging al een stuk gemakkelijker.... read more

Stockholm, Sweden--Saturday, May 31, 2014 We had a beautiful cruise among some of the 30,000 islands of the Stockholm archipelago this morning before docking at the pier. Many of the islands were large enough to have towns and villages on them and many had just lovely summer homes studded across them and are accessible only by boat. Many had saunas down on the shoreline. After arrival we discovered that this port has an actual terminal building with free wifi, so first thing we did is avail ourselves of this “luxury” and sent out some e-mails and posted photos to Facebook. We have just completed the first 2 weeks of this Enrichment Voyage on board the M/V Explorer. In the morning, June 1st, she will take on a new set of passengers and we will start the ... read more

This morning we had breakfast in Elizabeth and Sven's dining room overlooking rooftops lightly covered with snow. It was lovely to look out onto from the warmth of indoors! We weren't sure it would be quite so lovely when we headed off to catch the bus because the temperature outside was -9°. Fortunately we didn't have to wait too long for the No 76 bus. Bernie flashed our Stockholm Cards at the driver and he nodded us through. We disembarked at Skeppsbron believing that we could take the ferry from there to Djurgärden to visit the ABBA Museum. But no, the dude on the ticket booth said the card wasn't valid. So we went back to the bus thinking that it is a flaw in the system if you can only validate the Stockholm Card at ... read more

In December of 2011 one of the travel deal websites I follow advertised an SAS Airlines sale from DC to Copenhagen for $750 round trip. Having just paid almost $1400 for my flight to Oktoberfest this seemed like a great deal. And on top of that I had always wanted to go to Scandinavia. Something about it just piques my interest. When most people think of traveling to Europe they think of Italy and Spain and France. But not me. As much as I want to see those places as well I've always wanted to see the fjords in Norway. Or the Ice Hotel in Sweden. Or learn about the Vikings in Denmark. Scandinavia is an unheard of travel destination for most Americans. Maybe because it's so cold. But I've seen pictures of Norway. I know ... read more

This morning we resumed our efforts to travel to Stockholm. After a buffet breakfast at the Comfort Inn we checked out and negotiated the icy footpath and road between us and the station. Despite the treacherous footing we managed to reach the station without either of us slipping over and cracking a skull. At the station the departures board had trains for Stockholm listed to depart at 8.40am and 9.11am so we rushed out onto platform 5 to see the 8.11am train - departing at 8.40am - just as we set foot on the platform. Oh well, we were aiming for the 9.11am train anyway so nothing lost! So off to platform 10 to wait for the 9.11am train. Woo hoo, there was a train at the platform and we could board it. Since we had ... read more

Noc bola teda nahovno. Ako budicek na mne pristal vtak. Sykorka alebo volaco take male. Okolo 4/00 uz zacali chodit na letisko ludia, obsluha v kantine zacala postupne budit ludi co este spali po stoloch resp. na stolickach. Inak kantinu zavreli nieco po polnoci. Po budickou som sa pobral na zachod. Ziadne pisoare iba mini budky. Tu som na seba nahodil termopradlo,bo predsa len ma cakalo vonku neakych 1-3 C. Potom uz len citanie knihy a cakanie na mhd. Bus mal prist 6/40,meskal asi 5.minut a to je vraj svedska doprava presna, hovno. Keby nebola zima tak by mi to veru nevadilo ale takto som bol uz cely uzimeny a to som stal na zastavke len 10.min. Zastavka je od vychodu z letiska asi minutu chodze. Nastupujem do busu, ukazujem vytlaceny listok soferovi, ten na nho ... read more

Hello! This is the first time I write a blog and the first time I travel to Australia. I will write this blog together with my friends Miranda, Ebba and Emma. Today we start! I think I will enjoy this very much. We will start in Cairns and end our trip in Brisbane, the biggest city in Queensland. What we do on the way is not quite clear. But we have talked about some things that we want to do, for example diving, surfing and also bungee jumping. Now we are at Arlanda, Stockholm airport. We will need to change planes two times, first in London and then in Sidney. We are sitting and eating dinner right now, but in an hour we will board the plane. The airplane lifts at 18.50 and 20.25 we will ... read more
