Stockholm to Orestund

We took our journey by rail today, leaving stunning Stockholm for Ostersund, smack bang in the middle of Sweden (or thereabouts). It's an easy way to travel and, with more than 96000 lakes around the country (yes! 96 thousand) there was no shortage of things to look at. Ostersund nestles on the banks of Lake Storsjon where a loch monster reportedly makes her home. Disappointing, we didn't meet her but we do think her home is beautiful. We also spent time at an open air, historical museum called Jamtli which was pretty cool. For those Aussies of my era, it's a bit like Old Sydney Town used to be, with people dressed in period costume, answering questions about the life and times and with replica buildings and lifestyles of the era. Then, with the sun still high in the sky, we had dinner and a stroll along the shoreline of Lake Storsjon. Another full day.Meer informatie
