We left Stockholm on Tuesday morning after spending 5 nights there, we could have easily stayed longer but we needed a bit of a rest after hiking round the city and parkland in 25-30 degree heat. We did everything we wanted to do and would still return and do it all again. It's in our top 3 capital's, but it's position is yet to be determined.<br />
<br />
We travelled north east to visit some of the castles in our guide book, the weather continued to be searing and once again we had the whole grounds to ourselves to explore in the continuing heat (we've even used the air-con for the first time on this trip, although only for ten minutes!). Steninge was also vacant expect for Volvo trying to persuade some fleet buyers to order the new C30 electric hybrid.<br />
<br />
Uppsala commanded a double page spread in our guidebook, but the reality there wasn't a great deal to see there and the highlight of the day was Sophie navigating me the wrong way up a one way street and up a cycle track!<br />

The next day we wanted to get some miles under our belt so that we could get into Norway and Oslo for the weekend since there isn't a great deal to see in this region of Sweden. There was a UNESCO world heritage site however, which again was deserted and we wandered around the old buildings and machinery dating from the 1700's. Bit spooky if you ask me!<br />
<br />
Our long trek was rewarded, however, with Orebro close to the Norwegian border. The town had a lovely castle and the fast flowing river and fluffy clouds (haven't seen any of those for weeks!) gave a great backdrop. Every duck had 8-10 ducklings following it in an orderly line and we counted a Goose with 14 babies!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we pass over into Norway, so we'd better fill up with cheap (ish) diesel while we can!<br />

We've spent the last two days in T-Shirts which makes a pleasant change and somehow the contents of Sophie's backpack has made its way into mine! Nobody here wears shorts though, so I've refrained - I'm not sure Scandinavia is ready for that yet...<br />
<br />

That said, we're more than happy to walk around on foot and enjoy the sights available for free and we've now walked to the edges of the tourist map in every direction.<br />

On our way there we passed an army recruitment day and the war ships were lined up on show along with military vehicles etc which was followed by a picnic in the park before we made our way to the TV Tower which was a reasonable £4.50 each to get to the top. After a frustrating ten minutes of trying to shoot my SLR through the mesh I remembered Sophie's camera in my rucksack and was soon snapping away, it's tiny lens peeping between the railings. The whole area was swamped with Russian tourists - in fact the vast majority of buses here are Russian registered. We explored the second park Ladugardsgardet where a Circus was setting up, no Lions but plenty of Camels and Zebra's on show.<br />
<br />

To be honest, the changing of the guard with its horses and extravagance is probably enough - the palace was nice, but if you've been to as many old stately homes as we have you become a bit numb to it. The treasury was 'OK' but I think 45 minutes for a guided tour must be padded out a but since we were round it twice in ten minutes - so maybe spend the £14 entrance for this somewhere else.<br />
<br />
Sodermalm, the most southern island, didn't really have a lot to offer us other than views back over to Gamla Stan and the imposing sight of a cruise ship docking (loaded with Russian tourists no doubt!).<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we'll be visiting the Ostermalm markets and relaxing in the park, maybe hire some bikes for the afternoon before heading off to replenish our tanks and make our way to Oslo with our expectations set high!<br />

Wow, what a day. We've spent nearly 12 hours on our feet exploring the city and we've not done all of it yet! After the minor disappointment with Copenhagen, Stockholm has certainly come up trumps.<br />
<br />
Where do we start!<br />

Despite being a very bright, sunny day old town which is probably the biggest tourist attraction in the city was largely quiet and we enjoyed an hour exploring the maze of old cobbled streets - avoiding the obligatory tourist tat shops along the way save to buy a postcard. We sat and enjoyed lunch in the sunshine and out of the wind where it could have easily passed for 20c (I say enjoyed, £5.50 for bread and ham from Co-Op, that or nearly £9 for two ready made sandwiches! I stress again, pack your van as if you were visiting the moon!).<br />
<br />

I don't know if we can last much longer on this trip without a good curry!<br />
<br />
It all worked out for the best, as we were able to stand and observe the impressive changing of the guards ceremony, I'm not sure I could ever master the trombone - never mind on horseback! (short clip available <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLyyEonVJZM">HERE</a>.)<br />
<br />
The palace itself I think we will save until tomorrow.<br />

Sophie picked up some new shoes at probably the largest shoe shop in Stockholm. We chatted to the shop worker again, yet another person who rarely sees English tourists. It was interesting to learn not only are English lessons compulsory in Sweden but also it is taught in the 'Queen's English' - any American or other accent is strictly forbidden. Possibly not as strict in Denmark, where a Danish shop working expressed it would "last us long time" in an almost perfect Chinese accent!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
It's Friday and the Swede's are showing off in their Lambogini's and Ferrari's, they've probably been stored since last year as apparently the snow only cleared here 3-4 weeks ago.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to another full day tomorrow, feel slighly cheeky parked here in central Stockholm with view of the Radison and high class hotels and luxury yaughts a stones throw away - but all is above board, three other campers have joined us (one tag axel parked side on to the Marina) and we've seen a team of 4 parking Wardens who left everyone be. I can't say that this will necessarily continue so if you want to take advantage do so soon!.<br />

We've travelled 425 miles since our last blog entry, across Sweden from Varberg to Stockholm, stopping in two great wild camping spots in Granna and Eskilstuna. The route, however, has been largely unrewarding and we've checked both Lonley Planet and Eyewitness Guides for this area and found not a lot of interest - I think in an ideal world you would approach Stockholm via a coastal route if you wanted scenery.  That's not to say the countryside hasn't been pleasant enough, you can't expect great sights every stop! We've had a couple of pretty grey days weather wise but we've made a bee-line for Stockholm because of a break in the weather forcast for this weekend - fingers crossed it materialises.<br />

Today we went to Drottningholm - a large country estate on the outskirts of the capital in which the Royal Family now resides after giving up their residence in the Palace in central Stockholm, which is now only used for formal occasions. It was largely deserted and we spent a couple of hours getting lost in the grounds. We then decided to explore the island further - which turned out to be the back of beyond so we quickly turned round and headed for the capital.<br />
<br />
Following our sucess with parking in the centre of Copenhagen we've wanted to try our luck with Stockholm, so following a tip off, we've found some parking right in the centre (as in I can see the palace from here!) which is free after 5pm and free Sat/Sun - so just £12 tomorrow to pay! We spent 3 hours having a wander round and getting our bearings, I see we're going to need the full 3 days at least to try and take it all in! More to follow...<br />

After passing into Sweden via the Øresund Bridge (which, being sad like we are, we <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbAWJeml3Q">videoed</a>) we arrived in Malmo feeling pleased with ourselves and with Fiat for making our van 2mm shy of 6m and thus saving us £35 on the bridge toll (say nothing of the towbar or bullbar). Our initial impressions for Malmo were that of a busy port city and while I don't doubt that the city itself is worth a visit we wanted to press on and see some countryside.<br />

Our first night was spent in Gamla Bo, on a lake where we were joined with by a German motor home who obviously possessed similar Wild spot locating skills to ourselves. The following day we visited Lund, a pleasant town with a large university and a young feel and to Helsingborg the Swiss version of Helsingor which is on the Danish side, looking back over the water at the Castle (Slot) we had stayed at a few days earlier.<br />
<br />
As we were awaiting a package from home to arrive at the Campsite in Varborg and while we hate travelling back on ourselves, we decided to go and visit Göteborg before driving 40 miles South back to the campsite to recharge, refuel and do 4 loads of washing.<br />
We were there in time for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night">Walpurgis Night</a> - a sort of Summer Festival which appears to have been taken on by the students in recent years judging by the home made carnival floats mounted on shopping trolleys!<br />

I type this from the <a href="http://www.uk.apelviken.se/Campsite">Apel Vixen </a>site which while very much out of season, is very pleasant and participially accommodating by allowing us to have a couple of packages sent here. I almost felt cheeky producing our ACSI card for our £11 stay, what's more their Wifi is easily the fastest internet connection I've ever used and we've managed to back up all the photo's we've taken so far.<br />

We'll be in Stockholm in a couple of days, watch this space!</div>
