Finally two weeks of holidays. Spending 9 days in Germany and 6 days in Stockholm. Starting from the airport at 10 am has some advantages. You can “sleep in” – at least more than taking the 7 am flight and take the cheaper bus (1/10th of the taxi price). Hoping for some better weather home…

I am going to Stockholm around Easter and I thought about what to do in Stockholm. I have been there so many times and I like to do new stuff combined with known. One day of activity followed by a day of rest and doing little. First I thought about a day trip either to Åland…
