SVVveeeeDDeen....

It has been an amazing journey for the last two months, where I have managed to touch foot in five countries within this short span of time! Its going to be nostalgic being able to journal it down here, and reliving each of those joyous moments again..... for most of the times at least. Excluding the times when it was travelling for work where I basically got to see the airport and the hotel; or losing things (technically in my case, it was having my handbag stolen); or running for flights and nearly missing it (but boy, I have never seen my parents run so much before till this trip to Cambodia!); or having to pack it in so much so that there was hardly enough time to sit down to sip a latte in the sun or catch up with friends.

To start with, Sweden, the land of the vikings and sun-kissed tans, the cosy little cobbled city of Gothenburg and the magnificient landscapes of Stockholm....


My favourite view of Stockholm in the sunset... though I must say it does look quite midevil in the picture. But standing there, soaking it in, it was quite magnificent!

Finding our way around Stockholm....

The Archipelago tour......

Skansen - the open-air Museum; And look! They have them old school trams too, just like the city circle trams back in Melbourne.


And in Gothenburg, the shopping was great! Well, actually, it was painfully expensive, but the shops were just delicious and Norwegians really know how to dress, so how could you resist.


Our other side distraction...city search for quaint cafes and good lattes!



The more touristy things we decided to do instead....


Fish muskeet/Gothenburg Muskeet/climb to the top of the hill where the Golden crown fort stood

The colourful doorways of Gothenburg city

And of course....the food and the sweets!!

And also, where we found the best steak EVER.......


There is so much more to cover.... but perhaps I might force myself to go onto facebook, download the rest of the photos taken and catch up with the times.

But for now..... my first blog!


This is a good place to start.... and for today, end.
