Vorgestern habe ich Stockholm erkundet. Ich habe die Stadt ja schon 2008 fuer 3 Nächte besucht und wäre beinahe letztes Jahr fuer ein Projekt dorthin geschickt worden. Leider hat das aber nicht geklappt. Wichtige Sehenswurdigkeiten wie den Königlichen Palast inklusive Wachablösung und das beeindruckende Vasamuseum habe ich daher schon gesehen und habe diesmal die Bibliothek, die Altstadt mit dem Nobel Museum und das Museum fuer Moderne Kunst angesehen. Zwischendurch habe ich im Starbucks-ähnlichen Espresso House einen Frappuccino getrunken. In der Altstadt habe ich nämlich merkwuerdigerweise kein Starbucks gefunden. Den Palast und die benachbarte Kirche habe ich diesmal nur von aussen betrachtet aber die Lage der Innenstadt mit dem vielen Wasser und den Inseln war wie schon letztes Mal sehr beeindruckend. Auch mit einer Fähre bin ich wieder gefahren. Nach meiner Exkursion habe ich im Hot... read more

Gestern habe ich mal wieder gut gefrühstückt und habe dann Uppsala erkundet. Es scheint ja das religiöse Zentrum von Schweden zu sein und hat auch eine alte Universität. Ich bin also zuerst zur Kathedrale mit der Schatzkammer. Diese war sehr beindruckend. Anschliessend bin ich ins benachbarte Museum Gustavianum. Danach bin ich an ein paar Ruinensteinen vorbei zur Universitätsbibliothek, wo einige alte Bücher ausgestellt sind. Darunter eine alte Bibel. Dann bin ich zum Schloss und habe an einer englischsprachigen Führung teilgenommen. Im Anschluss daran bin ich durch die Innenstadt, wobei ich noch einen Kaffee getrunken habe, zu einem Bus, der mich nach Gala Uppsala gebracht hat, einer alten Grabenlage vor der Stadt. Danach bin ich wieder zurück zum Hotel, habe mein Gepäck geholt und bin zum Bahnhof, um einen Zug nach Stockholm zu nehmen. Das war gar ... read more

For my mom’s 60th birthday I decided to take her on a road trip throughout Europe. After some discussion, she decided on three Scandinavian countries—Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The two weeks that we drove were wonderful, a time where we got to see and experience amazing sights, cities, and attractions, as well as spend some needed quality time with one another. We covered 3090+ km on the roadtrip. This is the second part: Sweden. We left early in the morning from Oslo, headed toward Stockholm. The first half of the day was cloudy, and it rained a few times throughout the drive. However, once we arrived to Stockholm, the weather cleared up, and the rest of the afternoon was beautiful. After we checked-in to our hotel, we drove to the city center to enjoy the rest ... read more

Don't know what this captain is up to but we have been late to a few ports, missed out on Colombo, and now not docking in Stockholm but at a small port outside called Nynashamn, 60 kms outside Stockholm - the boss not happy Jan - been down to customer relation desk but there is nothing we can do! Told that traffic congestion in Stockholm as well as fog forecast so that is why we are docking in Nynashamn - bullshitters hmmmm! Anyway docked in Nynashamn around 8.00 a.m., bright and sunny day!!! Fog??? Onto the provided shuttle buses into Stockholm by 9.00a.m. - quite a nice drive through a national park and were in Stockholm by 9.45a.m John has been here a couple of times when he was working for Sanvik in the late 80's ... read more

Voilà, mon premier voyage en solo se termine. J'ai donc décidé de faire un résumé de mon voyage sous la forme de différents classements. Cet article sera beaucoup plus long que les autres, mais il peut vous donner une idée sur les villes principales de Scandinavie. Les villes : Vivement conseillées : Copenhague est une ville très belle avec des bâtiments magnifiques en ville, des musées et des châteaux magnifiques. L'ancien et le nouveau y cohabitent parfaitement. Roskilde, une petite ville près de Copenhague, est définitivement à visiter si vous êtes de passage au Danemark. Mention spéciale pour sa cathédral. Stockholm est une ville énorme qui mérite vraiment que l'on s'y attarde. Beaucoup à voir et j'y ai fait mes meilleurs achats de souvenirs. Conseillées : Bergen est une vill... read more

So, my first solo trip ends today, therefore I wanted to make a summary of my journey. It may be longer than usual, but it can give you some good ideas about the main city of Scandinavia. The cities : Really interesting : Copenhagen is a great city with beautiful buildings, museums and castles. There is a contrast really well done between the old and the new in the whole city. Roskilde is a little city near to Copenhagen and it is a must to do. Especially the cathedral. Stockholm is a big city. The buildings are really impressive. This is where I've bought my best souvenirs. Interesting : Bergen is a nice city on the west coast of Norway. This is a destination for the lovers of nature. The city itself may have not much ... read more

Today was going to be a long travel day as we made our way back home to Los Angeles. We had an early but short morning flight from Helsinki to Stockholm where we then had about a 7 hour layover. Upon arrival in Stockholm, I quickly realized that I had left my passport on the plane. After quickly making my way back to the terminal and realizing that there was no way they would let me back on the plane, I had to quickly figure out what to do next. I just needed to ensure that somebody retrieved the passport before the plan took off for it's next destination. For the next hour, I was given the run-around until finally I was able to get somebody who informed me that a passport was in their possession. ... read more

After 3 days in Stockholm with dreary and drizzly skies, we finally woke up to blue skies with the sun shining high above us. We had just a few more hours to explore here in Stockholm before having to head over to our overnight ferry to Helsinki. So with just a few hours to kill, we headed back to the Gamla Stan in order to have a look around at the Nobel Museum. This small museum is devoted to Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize and to all the prior recipients of the Nobel Prize. There wasn't a huge amount to see and it didn't take very long to explore everything. We were only here for about 30 minutes. We probably should have taken one of the guided tours as it would have been ... read more

Revoir Stockholm après tout ce temps me rend nostalgique. Un an est déjà passé... Je me fais vieux. Pour ceux qui n'y sont pas encore allé, je vais quand même écrire quelques mots ici. Alors, Stockholm est une très belle ville. Je la redécouvre aujourd'hui, mais mon impression est la même que la dernière fois. La vieille ville est vraiment intéressante à voir, il y a beaucoup de vieux bâtiments très beaux et elle regorge de boutiques. Beaucoup de musées sont gratuits ici et certains d'entre eux en valent vraiment la peine. Comme Stockholm est une ville moins centrée qu'Oslo ou Copenhague, il est intéressant de faire une visite guidée en bus ou en bateau. Les transports publics sont bien faits et à utiliser sans modération si on veut vraiment visiter toute la ville. La nourriture ... read more

To see this city again after a whole year is really great. Already one year has passed... I'm getting old, am I ? Anyway, I'll write a few words for the ones among you, who has not seen Stockholm yet. Well, Stockholm is a great city. There are a lot of very big buildings, which are beautiful. The old city is really interesting. Its buildings are old, but well conserved and there are all kind of shops. Many museums are free here, but they are not less interesting. Since Stockholm is a big capital with many islands, it is a good idea to book a sightseeing tour in bus or boat. This way, you'll really see the whole city. The public transports are well done, so it is pretty easy to find your way here. The ... read more
