Osaki Hot Spring Hotel I-lan

Le temps est très humide mais il ne pleut pas... je pars à la découverte des iles bordant cette mer... Baltique! je monte (clandestinement) dans un bateau traversant... un peu tout, il fait navette jusqu'à Vaxholm et, dehors, je prends plein de photos et en profite encore plus en sachant que je viens d'économiser 20 euros... yeah pas cher!!! Les...

Oh, Ozymandias, if you were a king of Sweden your name would have been Gustavus Adolphus. He commission the greatest warship of his age, but it was beyond the capacity of his engineers to build. So it sat on the bottom of Stockholm for three hundred years, preserved by the cold fresh water. They raised it from the bottom in the 1960s and pickled...

I was on my way to the land of the beautiful people as I soon found out when I arrived in Stockholm. My train was in the afternoon and lasted about 4 and a half hours. The only thing that I was actually excited about was the brige that the train crosses. The bridge was about 9km long and joined Denmark with Sweden. As we crossed you could look d...

So it's evening of my first full day in Stockholm. I've called it the Land of Hottness not only because of the attractive people but, damn, is it ever hot here! Serious! It's going to be like this all week! So, today I spent a good few hours doing laundry. Not the most exciting thing in the world. Afterward, however, I headed to the city centre ...

After another night train, I arrived bright and early in Stockholm. The hostel that I had been staying at had been very particular about knowing when you would be coming, so I had already been in contact, received a code to get in, etc. So I headed to the hostel, dropped off my stuff and headed back out. I was staying in Old Town, so my first im...

Day 81 - 7:39 (am) Construction begins on the floor directly above us. I can't recall the last time I work up to the sound of a table saw, but If it never happens again I'll be better for it. I check the time and roll over wrapping the pillow around my ears. 8:02 The table saw has stopped but now they're installing something with a nail gun, or ...

After a good nights sleep the alarm wake my up way to early to be called healthy! I take the Monorail to KL Sentral and from there the KLIA Ekspres to the airport. Since I checked in yesterday I don't have to that today and all I really need to do is find and go to the gate. I always want to have time on my side when I go to an airport so I had ...

The boat docked around 9:30 this morning in beautiful Stockholm. I was blown away by the charm of this amazing city. It is very chic and trendy. Everyone we have talked to has been very friendly and helpful. We bought the Stockholm Card, which was spendy but gives us transport on all public systems and entry to all museums. Today we toured the R...

From Malmo I jumped over to Stockholm to see the country's capital. The rumors were all true - expensive restaurants and beautiful people - but this city is surely one of the most breathtaking I've seen so far. After having a great night out I zigzagged through Old Town on the way to my hostel and was really impressed with the old churches and m...
