By bus Flygbussarna one way: 119 sek (45 min)
By train: 170 sek (40 min)
By express train: 190 sek (20 min) I chose to go by bus (each 10 minutes during the day) – the downside of this option: the seats are limited, maybe you have to wait for the next bus.
I can live long without food, but water and Internet are for me a must. So first thing after arriving in Stockholm was to find a sim card with data traffic.
I did before some reasearch, and I found that Telia are the oldest in Sweden and they have the best coverage, including outside big cities; this was for me a very important point, because I plan to spend some days at the country side and a reliable Internet connection is critical.

Today in the airplane before departure:
A guy is looking for his place, 27F, at the window. He sees that the place is already occupied by a girl.
The guy: “27 F at the window, that is my place”
The girl (smilling cute): “You let me stay at the window”.
The guy: “OK, you stay at the window”
The Force is strong with that one.
Maybe the best To-Go coffee ever: the filtered coffee during the Ryanair flight (3 euro):The view while drinking the coffee – the Carpathian mountains.

The Harz mountains in the center of Germany are probably not tall, but for sure they are incredible beautiful. I followed the following path along the Bode river:One highlight of the trip was Hexentanzplatz (a very nice place above the world, full of bad and ugly witches 🙂 ).After 13 km and a lot of pictures I declared myself a very happy “hiker”. Please don’t make my mistakes: take some good trail shoes,...
Since some time I am trying to find the longest german word. From my point of view, germans like details and are very specific when they describe a situation.
The word that is the longest one that I found so far is:
Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterattentäterlattengitterwetterkottenbeutelrattenfangprämie
91 characters. Even if this word is not used normally and I am sure it was created just for fun, to show how cool and flexible german...
