Recovering From Pluracy

stockholm

04/25/2008 - finally it happened! I'm going to stockholm!!

at 17:00 left the ferry we went to Helsinki and Stockholm. 16 hours ride. One way in which we were lucky and got an A cabin (ie, with window). but basically it did not matter - it was dark anyway and we have not spent too much time in the cabin. as First, we have again made my usual photo ...



is approximate to that offered everything. band karaoke and disco. for a small dinner we went to the karaoke bar, but unfortunately we had the "deadline" could not sing, and thus missed by us. but in the disco, we had enough fun. attila's with me trying to dance jive are unreached. But Walzer has worked reasonably well. Unfortunately he then had a little twist at the accident ... and his knee has since swollen. Thus wars to dance with the past for him. but he is on road to recovery.
after 5 hours of sleep I am welcome on the top deck to stockholm to ... and I fell in love at first sight.





on Saturday, 26.4. we arrived at 10:00 and have checked into the hotel and to lose no time actually only our luggage off. Our hotel was the scandic grind Götgatan in the northern part (I'd compare with the new development alley) on Södermalm. Götgatan is a pedestrian area with many restaurants and bars. begin the first day in stockholm comfortable we have a good coffee at Tully's (corner Götgatan / högbergsgatan) indulgence. Then we continued on the bridge to Gamla Stan - the old town Stockholm. Gamla Stan is the oldest part of Stockholm, with many old houses, restaurants and cellar könglichen palace. We have the Sancta Gertrude kyrka (St. Gertrude Church, a German church) and are considered to continue on to the next slottet Kungliga (the royal palace) gone. we are just in time for the changing of the guard came. Here's a little video:



after the changing of the guard, we are back on the main square in Gamla Stan - Stortorget - back in the coffee and ate lunch on the terrace Koppen. strengthened subsequently continued on the island of Skeppsholmen island with the ferry to Djurgården on which there are, inter alia, the Vasa Museum and Skansen museum. Skansen museum but we canceled for Sunday.

the Vasa is a Swedish warship that on 10 August 1628 maiden voyage before it sank. after its discovery in 1956 and 1961, salvage is now restored in the vasa museum visit. the photos are unfortunately become nothing because there was lightning too dark without, but fortunately there are google:



with the ferry, we are back on Södermalm ("our" island on which the Götgatan is located). The view from the ferry to Helsinki:



then we have a beer at the "farm" drunk on the Götgatan - a very stylish bar and then to the hotel are around us change for the evening. For dinner, we are just on the road to the medborgaplatsen gone into "medis Kök & bar". it was so "hot" that we were at dinner on the terrace (but without heizschwammerl it would not be gone). After dinner we went to fenix gone (bar / club) and had to find out how small the world is:

we have in Russia in a small bar, a Munich, christian met, in Växjö (5h from Stockholm) his semester abroad makes . well, and who sitting next to us in fenix? christian just this. I would not have recognized him, but Charlotte has meant that he is and has spoken to him. well, and he also was it. is not that incredible? well, in any case, it was still a very funny evening.

on sunday we went for a good breakfast to Djurgården back to Skansen museum. Skansen museum is the first outdoor museum in the world. It shows how the Swedes have lived before. there are about 150 houses "made out" (of course in original size and in some you can go inside too). There is a zoo and "residents" in the traditional costumes, the more or less the life-adjust. I am a pre-come bissl as I'd now like to gaze over at Birkelund madita or meet michl Lönneberga. the Children of Noisy Village I have imagined right ... most of all I would have stayed there.





had after we have eaten in the last skansen köttbullar we unfortunately have to ferry back again .... unfortunately!

stockholm after this weekend I know one thing for sure: I'm in love back in Stockholm and would like immediately!!

so, and here the photos to my entry:

April ...

hello my dear,

is now again the end of April, that is my last month to break soon. amazing how fast time flies. the feeling that currently is in the air is hard to describe. It is always nice and the (Erasmus) group has changed over the last few months - in a positive sense.

on my second day here we were in Helsinki for the first time in Onnela (we were only 4 Erasmus students - the others came later) and there was a larger group on the dance floor. an international group that had a lot of fun together. I thought to myself: "this is erasmus and I hope that we will also like this." and it has become Sun during the last months, but yesterday we were erasmus group Onnela in this ...

Here's a short little film of a trip with the last train to helsinki:



... and this was no exception (but not only our group, but there are also any other there) ...

well, I've already heard and seen on some photos that Austria in the spring right there. with trees and flowering meadows finland can not keep up, unfortunately, but in the woods behind the house I've already crocus, violets and anemones bloom seen. jump up on the trees, the buds are already short in front. I hope that it will finally green! Last Friday night I am in the undergrowth and a cute little hedgehog

seen.

yesterday I could drink my first cup of coffee with Benedict (which is preferred rather have a beer) on a terrace in helsinki. I think I have never enjoyed the warm sunshine so ...





oh yeah, and the days are getting longer - that's very fast. at nine, it is still "light" ... and at half past ten I was two days ago to see this sunset from my room window:



so, and now I have to pack up my stuff for this weekend, for tomorrow is finally to Stockholm - my long-desired wish come true!

ship ahoy


we leave tomorrow at 17:00 Helsinki by ferry and arrive on Saturday at 10:00 am in Stockholm. On Monday, we come back.
I'm writing when I am back in Helsinki with many new photos and press!

greet and kiss, antonia

ps: clearly, the spring comes, I've just killed the first gel!

Port Rojal 2 Rapidshere



yesterday we finally made it: the trip to Tallinn. because already at eight ferry from helsinki went away, we had at half past seven (!) take the train to Helsinki.

on board we were immediately hits a solo entertainer with Finnish been taken in receiving. but us seniors were still (which coffee coffee liqueur with a drink) and other students (who have bought the same one beer) - in the morning at eight! I've yet to put down once and tried to sleep (where the original was in Italian song - of course translated into Finnish). just before our arrival, I was dancing with the wolfi another waltz.

are around 11, we arrived in Tallinn. We were incredibly lucky! yesterday was basically the first real spring day - sunshine and 10 degrees! just beautiful ...

after a long walk through the nice little town (which was apparently built only for tourists), we enjoyed a coffee in the sun.

we had five back on the ferry be and it went back to Helsinki. the whole day I was jumping around after (as you can see photos on - there's more). I'm wahrscheinlcih an hour on the ferry leapt about and of course in Tallinn.

at half past eight arrived back in Helsinki we're pretty tired and hungry, went home and I was still allowed to prepare a presentation for today.

so, and here are a few photos:
