Vaxholm

Just a quick little post with some pictures from my little trip to Vaxholm the other day.

I underestimated the weather a bit so my trip can be summed up as:

taking the bus, 

getting off the bus, 

realizing it's a bit too windy for the weather to be sweater-appropriate

walking a little circle around, snapping a few pictures

catching the next warm bus back

Nonetheless, it was worth both the bus ride and the little chill from the wind.

Walks

What a beautiful city!

I've lived in several beautiful places but Stockholm seems to be in a category of its own. 

(my tiny Gothenburg heart is squeaking while I type this... no worries, I still love you GBG)

Large green areas, beautiful buildings and  great waters=  lovely large city with nature visible all around.

I guess I'm a sucker for the easy access waterfront, it´s absolutely everywhere and I love it!

I'm looking forward to more weekend walks this autumn!

Drottningholm

I've only visited Stockholm during winter so it was very nice to get to explore the city in proper summer weather this weekend. 

Yesterday I went to Drottningholm. For those who don't know, it's the residency of the Swedish royal family complete with a palace, gardens and a lot of naked statutes. 

The weather was amazing and the area surrounding the palace was absolutely beautiful, I'm very sure that if I had lived in Stockholm over the summer I would have spent a few days relaxing in the park there.

it was a bit tempting to cool off in these

the palace and one of the many naked statutes

smart kid doing what I should have done

Now it's just hoping that there will (magically) be some more of this awesome 20+ degree weather the next weekends. 

Not really likely but one can always hope! :)

Off on a train

For the fifth time in my life I've packed my bags and moved to a new place. 

However, this time around it's slightly different. Firstly, I moved within the same country and secondly,  I somehow managed to break my habit of moving to places where I have never been before as I've visited the city.

This time around it´s Stockholm.

Lovely, beautiful, lively Stockholm, at least for the next few months.

The first week at work has passed and it seems like it has flown by.

Everything is new, busy and exciting and I hope to keep things busy and exciting for the entire stay :)

entertainment: essential on early morning trains when sleep is not an option

the daily ritual

the view ten meters from my front door, I won't complain.

I love passing through this environment on the way to work

Heaven in a cone! 

 It looks like the last bit of  Swedish summer will be visiting this weekend and I'm planning to be out and about to take a proper advantage of it...

most likely with another ice cream.
