Sunny Stockholm....



Recently I had a chance to explore one of the scandinavian cities, Stockholm, Sweden. It was a lengthy journey from Hamburg to Lübeck.....ferry from Lübeck to Denmark for about one hour...then two hours in land....one more ferry from Denmark to Helsingborg, Sweden...and finally to the capital city, Stockholm, the cultural capital of Europe.....As such Stockholm is a picturesque city with breathtaking buildings, huge bridges and beautiful lake Malaren occupying most of the city's mainland remembering me of Venice in Italy.....

The frustrating part in Stockholm was the currency....they dont use Euros and Swedish croners is the order of the day except in few places like McD.. Sun was shining to the core which made our trip better....One thing which I noted from stockholm is....it doesn't have the worldclass wonder like Paris or London or Amsterdam....But anyway a trip to remember with many funny incidents and count to my list of European Voyage :)

Cheers,
