First Impression of this White Princess

Stockholm, a strange city for a Mediterranean guy like me. It was the first time that i visited this city. I was used at hot climates and high temperatures. By the time i landed at the airport, the temperature was -10°C and it was a shock for me. Luckilly, i 've entered the subway and so my temperature came back to normal. The staff was friendly and helpful. The good thing is that the majority, if not all, of the Swedish people speak english. So if you get lost or if you need help always someone will help you.

Stockholms' Harbour

Port of Stockholm

Stockholm is a lovely town, also called as Venice of the North, due to the great number of its islands. It was the first time in my life that i have seen the sea frozen. I even walked on the ice. It was a unique experience for me. Everything was dressed in white due to the snow. All the ships laying in the harbour and only some small ferries were crossing the channel.

I HAVE ALMOST COMPLETED MY STOCKHOLM PAGE. PLEASE ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY TO MY PAGE.
