    Way to Skansen and the Day This far

    I had a wonderful trip on the Djurgårdsfärjan this morning. From the ferry I even saw Juno, a former steam ship, now motor vessel built in 1874 to traffic the Göta Kanal, side by side with one of the modern passenger ferries trafficking the Stockholm archipelago. The view onto Gamla Stan from the stern of…

    Just another beautiful sunny summer day in Stockholm

    Avid readers of my Blog will know what’s coming up… I toll the tunnelbana to Slussen this morning and got on the ferry to Djurgården. The morning is sunny, bright, warm with a lovely breeze. As it is still early, it’s not too crowded as well. Just to my liking. I’m going to visit Skansen…

    The morning is mostly sunny and beautiful (as always in Stockholm) and I have left my camper for a stroll around the city. Walking along Söder Mälarstrand I made my way to Drottninggatan, the famous shopping street. Now I have made a first stop at Espresso House on Drottninggatan for a cup of chai latte.…

    Leg 1 – Arrival in Stockholm

    The night on the ferry was calm, just a few waves, but not too much movement. Unfortunately, I lay awake for too long due to the loud fan of the air condition. Even with earplugs it was a bit noisy. We arrived on time in Göteborg and as the ferry was well booked, it took…
