Vacation in Sweden

We have been on vacation in Sweden now for two weeks and have still one week to do before returning to Beijing. Spending most of the time seeing friends and family and just relaxing enjoying the clean air and the birdsong...














Staying
in my daughters apartment at Fågelhundsvägen in Lund.


The second day in Sweden we joined the "Studentparty" for my youngest son, Mats.
He just graduated from "Filmgymnasiet" in Visby and we had a party for him with friends and family at his mothers home.















Beginning of this week we went to Stockholm for some "instant tourism"...















The Royal Castle is a "must" and also the "Old City" (Gamla stan) with it's small streets and alleys. So we spent the first evening walking around enjoying this part of Stockholm.




















Second day we started by taking the Djurgårds-ferry to Skansen.
This is an "Outdoor museum" with a nice collection of Swedish history, culture and animals. It is another of those places the you must visit when you are in Stockholm.














And after ending the day with "Regalskeppet Wasa" in the Wasa museum we where quite tired.














Our last day in Stockholm we spent by doing a cruise in the archepelago of Stockholm, going out to Sandhamn. A really nice day crusising around among some of the 24 000 islands in the archepelago - must be one of the most beautiful in the world.
