Suddenly Sweden

Caught a fast train over the bridge to Sweden and on to Stockholm for a couple of days. The train was quiet, as well as fairly spacious, clean, comfortable.




Stockholm is just that bit bigger than Copenhagen, and the city appears more modernized, although still few tall buildings by Melbourne standards, with some interesting architecture and public art.




Also has more museums per square inch than anywhere else in the entire world, apparently. Visited the architecture museum, full of model buildings (no Lego) and tales of urban reclamation. Boat trip around harbour, castles, scenery, churches etc.





Nice to hear tourist operators bragging about Sweden's welfare state ... We might have high taxes but everyone gets looked after, maternity leave, child care etc etc.

Arlanda airport and off to Russia, where pools of photos already await.
