from Copenaghen to Malmo
Early in the morning we leave
Copenhagen and we head towards
Malmo: finally cross the bridge connecting Denmark with Sweden.
The toll for the bridge (we walk with our car) is 285 Danish kroner. The bridge is magnificent, but at the same time gives the impression of being lightweight, flexible.
We arrived in Sweden about 300 km that separate us from
Stockholm, the scenery is quite monotonous.
On our road crossed the great forests, signals that we are warned of the presence of reindeer and occasionally some lake.
We arrive in
Stockholm in the early afternoon and one of the first things you see from what? But an IKEA store, of course! Here we are in the home of mobile DIY and could not miss the store "do it yourself" for excellence and invented by the Swedes.
Unfortunately, struggling a bit to find the hotel, because in the meantime we have found a strong temporal and also because in the central area of
Stockholm roads tend not to cross, but to "overlap": there are underpasses and bridges, with the that traffic is more fluid, but to reach certain roads becomes difficult and tourists .... you lose!
Finally we reach the hotel, a Best Western near the city center, very nice and is located in the upper part of the pedestrian area of
Stockholm ... and inside the side of the seat from any country. I remember well, because, after having parked the car in front of the embassy (there was no ban, the strip was blue and we have regularly paid the parking up at 9 o'clock in the morning after) the next morning we found a fine on the windscreen to stop prohibited!
Obviously a sign with an inscription there, but you understand what's written? However by this unfortunate incident, we can note the precision of Sweden: the fine on the windscreen is a kind of transparent plastic bag, just in case of rain, do not ruin it! These are Nordic efficient! However, apart from fines,
Stockholm we like a lot: the air has to be a living city, open and cosmopolitan. The city is divided into a modern and in another, more ancient, and the whole city is spread over several islets
