Vacation in Sweden – part 3 of 3
After sleeping in the smallest hostel room I've ever seen, we went to explore Uppsala. Our first stop was on the outskirts of the city in the village of Gamla Uppsala with its old church and royal mounds. It made a nice place for the morning walk. We also ran through the museum there, but we had not much time, because we decided to see a lot of sights in Uppsala.
Returning to the city, first we went to the house and botanical garden of
Carl von Linné and continued through the museum of evolution to the tropical
greenhouse with many wonderful and sometimes poisonous plants 
.
When we had enough of Uppsala, we took a train back to Stockholm, where we
went to see the museums, we have not seen before. The all museums were together
in the same area, so it was comfortable to see them all. The first was the
Maritime museum where many nice ship models were shown in exposition. Next one
was the museum of sport, where we tried our strength, reflexes and balance.
Police museum was closed due to fire alarm, so we moved to the next one, the
museum of science with its 4d cinema. It was a lot of fun, being punched and
sprayed with water by the cinema chair 
.
Me and Old Uppsala mounds
After visiting all the museums in the area, we went to Skansen again. This time, it was fully open. We saw the marvelous shops and workshops and also the animals in the zoo, which is part of the Skansen. We stayed in Skansen until the evening and then went to the hostel.
On the second day we woke up late and headed for the boat that took us to the town of Vaxholm. We marched through the town centre very quickly and took a ferry to the Vaxholm fortress, where we visited another museum focused on the Swedish fortifications.
Back in Stockholm we had the last evening in front of us. We decided to
thrill ourselves in the amusement park, the Grona Lund. It was not worth to buy
a whole-day ticket, so we picked the roller-coasters and a haunted house and
bought tickets just for them. The roller-coasters were thrilling, I enjoyed
them a lot. The haunted house was a unique experience. Instead of being in the
carriage riding in the house, this one was special – you have to walk through
it. Everywhere is dark and from time to time a zombie jumps on you .
We took one of the last buses from Stockholm to Nykoping airport and slept in the hotel there. In the morning I flew to Warsaw and went home by train, Alina went straight to Vilnius.
Go karting with RAYNET people
My friend and co-worker Aleš is getting married very soon, so this Monday he
organised a small party. Food and drinks were present in a great quantity, but
the main attraction were certainly the go karts .
I was a racer, at least for a while
We all raced a lot: from the careful beginnings to the aggressive collisions in the end, when drivers were fuelled with beer and home-mode Slivovice. The party was awesome, definitely a success. Thanks again, Aleš.
