I'm talking about Stockholm, which I didn't write about in the last blog entry, because my time was up. However, since the internet is free over here in Finland, I don't mind :)
Arriving in Stockholm, I went to my host pretty much straight away, except for trying to find out whether my phone stopped working or the two weeks old charger. It turned out to be phone, so at first I was really bummed, but then I was really looking forward to the last week of travel without a phone, because you can manage easily. It's just that you think that you're reliant on it and being without it actually relieves you after a while. Sadly, my host gave me one of his old ones, he didn't use anymore, after my dad pressed me to get a temporary one :)
The next day I walked to the old town of Stockholm and just strolled through the narrow streets. I think I only need one word to describe it: magnificent.
Some pictures would be great here but I keep forgetting the cable for my camera.
Back in the suburb where my host lives, I walked through a nature reserve to a lake because my host was still in the centre. There's nothing much to say here, to be honest, except that it was beautiful. I know I am repeating myself.
That day three Italians, who stayed at the same host, arrived and they prepared some lovely pasta for dinner. The three and I walked to a nature reserve in central STockholm next day and had picnic in the park there. Apart from the most beautiful German embassy I've seen so far, which is situated pretty much in that park, there was nothing special there. Although it's not the greatest German embassy I've seen so far. The greatest one is in Ankara, covers a couple of square kilometres and includes a race track for horses. Not bad, ey?
From there I went to the Central Station and took the night train to Boden to go on to Rovaniemi, Finland. On the night train I had a seat and next to me was sitting a guy from Bangkok who didn't speak a word of English or any other European language. His friends asked me to drag him out of the train at Boden, since he wanted to go there, too. Although that was a nice experience I would have rather had someone to talk to.
