Ensi lauantaina Mariella ja risteily Ruotsiin kutsuu, jeejee ulkomaille :-) Mitäköhän risteilyn suunnitelmiin voisi kuulua? Tietenkin buffet illalla.
Next Saturday, I'll take the cruise to Sweden, jihaa abroad :-) Oh, what are my plans? Of course, eating the evening buff'é.
Stokiksessa voisin ehkä...
In Stockholm, I might...
... ihailla kaupungin aina ihastuttavia lontoolaishenkisiä valomainoksia.
... admire the London style light adds.... käydä aamukahvilla Cafe Kladdkakanilla.
... have a morning coffee at Cafe Kladdkakan.... tarkistaa paikalliset alennusmyynnit tai ainakin Wedinsin kenkähyllyn, jossa oli viimeksi kovasti isojalkaisille tarjouskenkiä.
... to check out the sales or at least Wedins' shoes. Last time there were shoes for big foots on sale....vierailla lankakaupassa.
... visit in a yarn store....lounastaa ihanan italianhenkisessä Capri pizzeriassa.
... have a lunch in ristorante Capri.... katsella nähtävyyksiä, kuten vahdinvaihtoa kuninkaanlinnan pihalla.
... do sightseeing in the city. Such as, army parade in the castle's yard.... tai etsiä vanhasta kaupungista tämä hupaisan herran.
... or search this gentleman. He's somewhere in the old town.... tai sitten vain katsella kaupunkia.
... or just explore the city.
Mitään suurempia suunnitelmia ei siis ole. Voihan olla, että pällistelen tätä kirkon tornia jälleen puoli tuntia ja otan siitä tuhat kuvaa. Siinä seisoskellessani ja kuvatessani voin huomata kuinka kerään muita turisteja ympärilleni.
So, I don't have any big plans. It's possible that I admire this church half an hour and take hundred of pictures. At the same time other tourists began to take pictures too.Tai sitten löydän itseni valokuvaamassa niistävää ruotsalaissetää vanhassa kaupungissa.
Or, I found myself taking pictures in old town and notice that the old gentleman is sneezing in the picture.Kuvat ovat viime vuoden Tukholman vierailuiltani.
I took the pictures last year when I visited in Stockholm.

Päivä Tukholmassa, osa 3 / Spend day in Stockholm, part 3
Matkani jatkui Nybroplanilta kohti vanhaa kaupunkia, nyt kun siellä päin liikuskelin. Nybroplanilla kohtasin melko tuimannäköisen bussin.
I continued my trip from Nybroplan to old town. Well, I was in the neighborhood. I saw a pretty evil looking buss on Nybronplan.Alla näkymiä Ladugårdslandsvikenille ja vastarannoille.
Below views to Ladugårdslandsviken and to opposite shores. Suuntasin vanhaan kaupunkiin Stallgatanin kautta, jossa minua tervehti uljas hevospatsas.
I headed to old town via Stallgatan where this proud horse statue greeted me. Päästyäni Strömbronin liepeille näinkin jo kunkkulinnan. Victoria ei ollut tälläkään kertaa vastassa minua. Hmh, odottaisin nyt edes säädyllistä päivällistä. Kuten alemmasta kuvasta voi päätellä, tässä vaiheessa oli suorastaan jäätävän kylmää. Tuuli kylmensi ilmaa kiitettävästi ja taivas tarjoili sadetta. Sateenvarjosta ei ollut juurikaan iloa.
I arrived to Strömbron where you can see the royal palace. I was disappointed, because Victoria wasn't waiting for me and having dinner with me. As you can see, it was so cold at this point. Wind made the weather even colder and it was raining a bit. There were no use for umbrella.
Päivän kolmas bongattu pyörä. Toisesta en onnistunut ottamaan kuvaa, koska kadulla oli ohikulkijoita aivan liikaa.
The third bike of the day. I was unable to take a picture from the second bike, because the street were so crowded.
Under Strömbron was quite heavy flow. I don't envy the local ducks. They need to flutter more than enough at this spot.
I continued to Slottsbacken. Again there were more and more tourists. At top of the hill, I saw the Finnish church. I think I've saw that in the earlier trips too.
Views to Skeppsholmen.
I walked along Bollhusgränden. I had to replan my route, because brides and grooms were having their wedding picture in the alley. Beatiful couples, but I think it might be a freezing to take the pictures.
At the end I ended up next to Tyska kyrkan to Kindstugatan. I took photo from the street, but I didn't pay attention to passers-by. After I downloaded the pictures to computer, I noticed that a man was wiping his nose in the picture.
I turned to Västerlånggatan when I started to think going back to Västerås. It was cold at this point, but I didn't gave up yet. I walked along the street towards the downtown and took a look to smaller alleys. A flower shop was so full of flowers.
Small archways invited me to go the inner court of Riksdagens förvaltninghuset. At this time I memorialized bottom of the statue.
When I was standing on Myntgatan, the rain ended and sun was shining for a moment. Below pictures from the sun and Riddarsholm church tower. I like these pictures, bu no glue if there are successful ones when thinking the rules of photographing.
I enjoyed the sun by taking a detour along Bankkajen and take a look on Riksdagenhuset. The house had amazing chandeliers and the windows are nice too.
I ended up to Drottninggatan and x-mas lights decorated the street.
As you can see sun was shining and wind was blowing on Riksbron.
I stopped by to candy store on the beginning of Drottninggatan. The selection for chocolated were so good. Also the candies were attempting. I planned to have candy for train trip until other customer asked if the store accept credit cards. This must be pretty much the only place in Sweden that doesn't accpet the credit cards. I couldn't buy any candy, but next time I know what to do.
I found my way to railway station. I planned to buy a ticket to train that leaves after hour and half. Yeps, the train was sold out. My options was trains leaving after 3 hours or half an hour. I choose the earlier train.
The regional train from outside and inside.
The earlier train turned out to good choice, because after leaving it begun snowing. It was snowing more and more all the time. While I waited the local buss I got totally wet and it was so cold. My day in Stockholm was good. I think we need to explorer the city by bikes during the summer.

Päivä Tukholmassa, osa 2 / Spend day in Stockholm, part 2
Blogin pitäjä jäi aikaisemmassa viestissään kahvilan ja tilpehöörinkaupan lumoihin. Siitä selvittyään hän suuntasi yhä ylemmäs Drottninggatanille. Annettujen vinkkien perusteella herkullinen suklaakaupan pitäisi sijaita Luntmakargatan 50:ssä ja Nysta-lankakaupan jossain kohtaa Drottningatania... vai oliko se toisinpäin? Onneksi matkaajalla oli mukanaan kännykäksi kutsuttu vempain, joka tarjoilee pääsyn tähän internetin ihmeelliseen maailmaan. Asia varmistui, että osoitteet olivat sekoittuneet matkaajan mielessä. Alkoi Pralinhusetin metsästys matkan varrella. Ja kuin tilauksesta putiikki tuli vastaan. Blogin pitäjä suuntasi nenänsä kaupan uumeniin ja huhhuijakaa. Sinnehän voisi upottaa koko omaisuuden! *Budjetti pitää, budjetti pitää. Korkeitaan 100 kruunua* Alla oleva kuva osoittaa 64,5 kruunun veroiset ostokset. Makuina ovat granaattiomena, mango, mustikka ja baileys.
In the last posting, the blog writer was drinking latte and admiring these little things in a shop. After that she headed along Drottninggatan. According to the given tips a delicious chocolate shop should locate on Luntmakargatan 50 and the Nysta yarn store on Drottninggatan... or was it other way around? Luckily our traveller got her mobile phone that provides access to internet. It were confirmed that addresses were mixed up in her mind. So the hunting of Pralinhuset begun and suddenly she found the shop. Blog writer went inside and huih. You can spend a fortune there! *Remember my budget, remember my budget. Max. 100 SEK* The chocolate below is worth of 64,5 SEK. Flavours are granatäpple, mango, blåbär and baileys.
Kaupan jälkeen reissaaja päätti kavuta Observatorielundetin päälle.
After the shopping the traveller head to the top of Observatorielundet.
There was a funny text on a building on a playing ground.
On her way to yarn store, blog writer saw the funny little boutique called Di Nuovo. Shop gives a new life and shape to old clothes.
The blog writer's next task was to familiarize herself with the yarn store Nysta. Oh, shop had many tempting yarns, but common sense won. Only yarns for 2 pairs of socks and basic scarf ended up to the back bag. Ok, let's move on and the yarn story will be told in another post.
Okay, yarns in a bag and planning the route. A glance to the map showed that blog writer was in a totally wrong direction when thinking the original plans. After hard thinking she decided to see Johannes kyrka and Saluhall. Barcelona's market hall was a huge experience, so the traveler wanted to experience the atmosphere again.
Ensimmäisenä etappina koli Johanneksen kirkko. On se korkea juu. Harmi, että putiikki oli kiinni lauantaina. Reissaajan olisi varmaan pitänyt osua sunnuntaimessun aikaan pelipaikalle.
First pitstop was Johannes Kyrka. Oh, it's so high. What a shame that it was closed. Maybe traveler should be there while mass is held.
After seeing the church, it was time to the market hall.
A cute dog on the corner of Birger Jarlsgatan and Jutas Backen
Tukholmasta löytyi myös monenlaisia värikkäitä pyöriä. Alla oleva pyörä nojaili puuhun Kungliga Humlegårdenin vieressä.
You can find bikes in colorful colors. The bike below was having a break next to Kungliga Humlegården.
Lankakaupan ja kauppahallin väliin mahtuu muuten monenmoista putiikkia ja pytinkiä. Silmiin pistävää oli, että vastaan tulevat ravintolat olivat pääasiassa aasialaisia. Oli sushia, thaita, kiinalaista ja ties mitä. Tänään ei maistuisi aasialainen ruoka, vaan kauan toivottu pitsa oli matkaajan mielessä. Alla oleva Ingelsta Kalkon näytti hyvältä ruokapaikalta Humlegårdsgatanilla, mutta taustatuen puuttuessa reissaaja koki ravintolan liian haasteelliseksi nälän hiipiessä ajatuksiin. Pitihän tiskiltä valita omat täytteet salaattiin ja muihin ruokiin. Ensi kerralla reissaaja uskaltautunee tänne, jos täällä päin liikuskelee.
There are different kind of boutiques between the yarn store and market hall. The traveler noticed that there are quite many Asian restaurants. There was sushi, thai, chinese, etc. Saturday wasn't Asian food day. She had wished a pizza for a long time, so today her wishes should come tru. Ingelsta Kalkon shown below looked quite interesting place to eat, but lack of support it was too challening place. Yes, you should pick up what you want to your sallad. Maybe next time.
Each kid dream! A bench was placed under the window, so the short people could see the window too. Picture below there is a Ferris wheel and skydivers are invading against the enemy. The shop is called Koffert.
Finally traveler arrived to market hall. The market hall was very unique experience. Inside they were selling fresh fish, meat, veggies and sweet products. And we shouldn't forget those lovely breads and cheeses, njam. It's a tempting idea to have a lunch there, but it's not good idea nyway. You may have to stand in a queue for an hour.
The journey continued to the right from the corner of the market hall along Nybrogatan. The blog writer was so hungry after all these lovely smells. The Asian restaurants still poped up until one door looked promising. The menu showed that they serve pizza and the prices were suitable for lunch. This is the place! The restaurant Capri has 10 SEK fee for the jackets, but still you should eat here. Pizza tasted absolutely great and the athmosphere was so italian. I choose championen, olives and real parmaham to my pizza. When you tak a closer look to waiters and you can notice that they all were men in their fifties. The athmosphere was cosy, so eating alone wasn't ackward. Also you will get your order quite quickly.
After the lunch traveler's trip continued towards Nybronplan. If someone wants to go to bar in the middle of the day, you can go to bar in Nybrongatan. The bar is called Soap.
The report will end to Nybronplan where was very windy and cold. In the next post we'll find out the rest o f the trip. Goodbye and good night!
