We should leave immediately for the 1200 Stockholm recital km that separate us, but the curiosity of a visit to Santa Klaus Village is more powerful than us, and then head for the north and we're back to the village. Now all the structures are open, the mail with a letterine Tuttti of the children from the world, the office of Santa Claus, the path a bit gloomy in the polar night and dulcis in fundo at the main, we are faced with Dad Christmas, this just not the expected. Let the reminiscences of childhood and we strive towards Stockholm. A long path between the lakes and pine forests. We are along the Baltic Sea, the temperature is raised significantly, we are now around 20 degrees, the Swedish children splash in the sea. The most interesting part of the E4 is surely the one between Örnsköldsvik and Sundsvall. Around 22 fire-red sunsets. Stockholm to reach the 23 and in the blink of an eye is the Haga Kristineberg Hotel (850 SEK), which we had booked via the Internet.
