Day 20 - From Gothenburg to Stockholm

There isn’t a huge amount to say today really. A leisurely start in Gothenburg (I really came to like the cute old hotel there!) and a trundle to the station for my train. The train journey was, to be honest, totally uneventful - I did some good listening to podcasts and looking out the window, as well as watching some Survivor on Amazon Prime (don’t judge!) and looking over a pupil’s Extended Essay that I meant to do a couple of weeks ago…

As an aside, I did enjoy the existence of these sweets, even if their taste left quite a bit to be desired. The story of Ferrari in recent years, I guess - looks good, but lacking performance.

I arrived in Stockholm mid afternoon and went straight to my hotel, navigating the metro with aplomb if I say so myself. I am staying at the Citybox here, a great concept of simple, basic rooms, but a lovely communal area and facilities like a shared kitchen and laundry - just what I need and the perfect mix of hostel and hotel. It is also really well located, with the only caveat to this being the nearby construction work. I really am starting to think Sweden might want my skills on a digger.

I’d woken up with a bit of a headache this morning, so had a nap in my box before taking a wander to the old town in Gamla Stan. I had a nice dinner, and a look around lots of the tourist shops! I made the big decision to buy a little Christmas ornament - it will travel well with my scarf!

I capped the day off with an ice-cream and am now making use of the laundry facilities!

A busy day is planned for tomorrow with the ABBA museum very much top of the list.

Day 1 - It Starts……..

Image
Having been thinking and talking about this adventure for months, today rather crept up on me. As well being a little hurried in actually packing a rucksack for up to three months of travel (I had been organised with packing lists, just not the actually putting things in a bag bit), I was also a bit last minute in tying up loose ends at home, mainly the boring things, like sorting out my car tax that I realised expired whilst I am away. It was therefore also a bit of a late night doing the really important things, like finishing the hardback book I had no intention of travelling with, and downloading some shows to watch onto my Chromebook. But, after a bit of last minute re-packing (Do I really need that extra T-shirt? Probably not. Where did I put that charging cable?), my rucksack was ready to go, and I had sorted everything I needed to in my flat. I am pleased to report that I have not left anything in the fridge that is likely to be gross on my return. Then off through the rain to ...

Day 2 - Touristing it up in Brussels

Image
The Eurostar journey was pretty uneventful yesterday. Despite looking out of the window, I did not see any fish 🐠 as I crossed the Channel, and I made sure I was on the look-out for small boat crossings too.....  It was early evening when I arrived in Brussels. The metro system took me a few minutes (and one journey in the wrong direction) to figure out, but Google Maps did its thing and got me to my hotel safely. The hotel is near the Royal Galleries, close to the Grand Place, and it is pretty busy around as apparently this is a big weekend with Belgian National Day tomorrow.  An evening quest for food (success) was followed by a walk through said Royal Galleries and then a test of my photography skills at the Grand Place. It is, as the name suggests, pretty Grand. Pleasingly for me, there were lots of Geocaching AdLabs around for me to use to learn some history. My visit here was then followed up with some good wandering around, with the highlight undoubtedly the Brussels D...

Day 3 - Happy Belgian National Day!

Image
Yesterday evening was fairly quiet - a stroll to see Jeanneke Pis, all in the name of gender equality.... and then an ice-cream and soaking up some of the holiday vibes.  Today, in case you did not know, is Belgium's national day. I had read a bit about some celebration events, some of which I am hoping to see this evening, but I did not know that as I walked to find some breakfast this morning, within 100m of my hotel I would stumble upon the whole Belgian royal family arriving for the Te Deum mass at the St Michael and St Gudula Cathedral. Having previously sat opposite the Swedish royal family at a concert in Stockholm when visiting with Lizzy, I am starting to appreciate European royal families turning out for my visits.... Apparently it was King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, and their four children (Elisabeth, Eleonore, Gabriel and Emmanuel) who were there. You can read all about their outfits on the Daily Fail Online, if that's your thing.  Anyway, I enjoyed the experience, ...
