Spring Weekend

Another weekend with a visitor, which means, the whole weekend out doing stuff: sightseeing, walking, party, etc. And it was a great weekend, with a really nice weather. Spring seems to be here…

… flowers start to show us their colours …

… and crazy Swedes (and not Swedes) start sunbathing with the warm temperature of 10 degrees …

… and of course, the ducks. 🙂

Furthermore, this time the visit included some typical Stockholm’s musts. First of all, the Ice Bar, a bar where everything is made of ice: tables, walls, bar, glasses. Quite interesting for a Spaniard, so to say.

Vasa Museum was also part of the visit. It is still impressing me this huge boat more than 300 years old, so well preserved. Nobody should visit Stockholm without spending couple of hours in this museum.

No Where

3 days out there. In the middle of nowhere. At least, this time, we slept in beds with heating, etc. 3 days of interesting training, lots of chatting, sauna, and relative disconnection from daily work. Here you are some photos.

Are we skiing?

Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk to the island in front of my apartment. It was really cold, but the sun was hiding, and I could take a lot of photos. Some as example.

But then, this morning, the lake was half iced, and it was snowing… What can I do with such awful weather? A friend called me: “Let’s go skiing. There is a place near Stockholm, and we can spend there couple of hours.” Great!

First problem: the car only had summer tyres, and it was snowing and sometimes icy. So we had to walk 2 km to the “resort”. Second problem: the resort was closed. Only some parents with their children were using the slopes. So did we, we played with the snow, we went up hill and down hill, and back to the car (2 more km).

Finally my friends had a plan-B: a brunch with some Swedes, and I joined them. Nice afternoon, with changes of plan included.

Just one question: Where are these two ladies with the dog and the BABY going?
