From Stockholm to Northern Sweden

I left you a long time ago in Stockholm...

There's been a lot of km traveled since then, but before we left we did manage to get to the Vasa museum, which contains the remains of the ship raised from the deep after centuries of nothingness down there, as well as exploring some of the designer stores and ultimately finding our way back to the swimming pool in that great city for a last swim before heading out into the wilderness of the arctic north. Highly recommended, and not just the pool. Driving out of the city we both felt a bit sad - in a short time we'd met some great people and it felt like we could have spent a whole lot more time in Stockholm alone. Who would have thought!?

Both from Gamla Stan - Stockholm

The trip north was punctuated by a lot of lakes! We camped beside one on the way. The theme for this journey was lush green, copious blue and a lot of small towns with occasional largish ones. It was fun to explore but it was quite flat really and we were hanging for the mountains of Norway. The people were fun though - and we did manage a swim in a remote university pool on the way... as you do.

My photo editor is on the blink, so can't show you any yet unfortunately... hopefully that will be rectified soon.
