I’m off again on my travels! This time it’s not quite as far as my American Adventure, nor as epic as my Hard ‘n’ Fast Contiki European Tour, but it is a credit crunch beating holiday North, to Stockholm!
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, and next of my travels. I decided to go to Sweden, as it was a toss up between there, Ireland and Barcelona, and something about discussing it with a Swedish holiday friend of mine in Times Square convinced me to go for it.
Needless to say, I am excited, though it took me forever to book, as Ryanair’s website is not exactly the most friendliest. It’s also the first time I feel I’ll become a proper traveller, as I’m doing it on a shoestring. The hostel swayed me with free pasta and breakfast, and my flight lands in Stockholm on Friday night at ten to midnight, in an airport 55 miles away from Stockholm, which is roughly the distance from Colwyn Bay to Liverpool.
Ouch, yes. But it’s cheap, hence why I’m going.
I really should start a travelblog, shouldn’t I? Would you read it? Especially if I had a forum like I do for Retro Garden?

Travel blogs are a good idea I think, we did one when we went to Vietnam (http://www.ourtravelscrapbook.com/). Saved a fortune on phone calls and postcards and we can look back at it during those Monday blues at work. We haven’t actually written the final days post though, and it was a pretty eventful final day. One day we’ll tell the whole world about it. We had some of those moocards printed up to with the logo and url on to hand out to people before we went and while we were away.
Anywho, Sweden looks a quality place to go, hope you have a crackin time.
travel blogs are a good idea if ur prepared to keep them up to date, i tried and failed and also had most of my stuff deleted….. (not my bad)
only thing that annoyed me about doing it was having to keep it updated as some weeks id be in the same place for a few days not doing much then it would be a crazy week jumping all over the place!
hurrah for sweden thou – im off to ireland and paris before the month is out! all things being well hoping to get to sweden after new years
Yes, I would read a travel blog but would not go so far as to join up a forum.
Swedish girls are hot. That is all…
Lucky sod! Norway and Sweden are on my hit list next I think..Still I can’t be too jealous I go away to Canada soon
Travel blogs are a great idea if you can keep it updated. If not for a readership then for you personally, I always forget some of the small details but if I blog/write them down when I come across them a few months/years later it always makes me smile.
the man don’t lie…. they are outrageously hot some of them!
When u going Rhys? I got my tickets 2 months ago for the same airport in the Ryanair sale!
4p return no taxes for me and Sheena…..not allowed any luggage tho! I’m off for 2 days in Oct. Have you gone already?
Wow that sounds like quite a nice adventure you’re planning on having. I hope you have a wonderful time. Look forward to your travel logs!
I hope you will have a nice time in Stockholm! Here in Sweden the people in the Stockholm area is known for their preppie-ness, know-it-all’er, and they don’t think there is a world outside their area
Too bad I don’t live near Stockholm, otherwise I would have stalked you
I hope the weather is better when you get here though!
Oh nice, I haven’t been to Sweden but I have been to Mediterranean Places like, Barcelona, Venice, Milan, Niece, Santorini, etc… I wish to go back to Europe! and probably try Sweden, Switzerland, Paris, and London…
