Berlin Irish Pub after a Bicycle Tour

After an excellent bike tour of Berlin with InsiderTour.com I and some of the bikers had a Guinness at a nearby Irish pub.

Copenhagen NASA Nightclub

Anna flew down from Stockholm to hang out with me in Copenhagen. We walked the city, including the Rosenberg Castle, the Little Mermaid, and Christiania. Saturday night we ended up at NASA nightclub.

OK, maybe we took the Porsche to see the Mermaid… The Porsche and the Mermaid – isn’t that a movie?

Train and Boat Ride from Oslo to Bergen

I decided to take a scenic train and boat ride out to Bergen to see the Fjords. I regret not scheduling at least a one night stay in Bergen. I only saw it at night since I hopped on the train back to Oslo 3 hours after I got there. I really recommend looking at the photos from the ride.

Oslo Ski Jump and Vigeland Sculpture Park

After taking a ferry back to Stockholm from Tallinn, I drove to Oslo. Since I had limited time and no weekend nights to get into trouble in Oslo, I checked out the ski jump and the Vigeland Sculpture Park.

Breakfast at the Schlössle Hotel in Tallinn

The morning we arrived we drove off the Ferry straight into town and to the 5-star Schlössle Hotel that we got an excellent deal on at the last second. The breakfast, which wasn’t officially included until the next day, here was quite an experience. The girls serving the breakfast were so friendly. They told Anna and I that we had to drink very large shots of traditional alcohol and wash them down with orange juice – because that’s the tradition here. Hmmm, I don’t know if I believed them completely but it certainly jumpstarted our day with a bang.

Then we took a walk around Tallinn.

That night we dined at the best restaurant in town, the Restoran Gloria, to complement our stay at the best hotel. Oh yeah, this is the life!

From Stockholm to Tallinn on a Ferry

Anna and I took a weekend trip to Tallinn, Estonia on a Tallink Ferry. And I brought the Porsche with us. The onboard entertainment was, well, entertaining.

Rastasjon Lake and The Beirut Cafe

On my last day in Stockholm I walked around Rastasjon Lake and went to eat at the Beirut Cafe.

The Mornington Hotel in Stockholm, Sweden

John let me live at his apartment for most of my stay in Stockholm, but every once in a while I grabbed a hotel. On my fifth night I stayed at the Mornington Hotel. Here’s a little video review of its breakfast and design.

The Night After the Game

On my fifth night in Stockholm we saw a movie, then walked over to a bar in our neighborhood of Solna. Apparently the Swedes just had a football (European) game, and John gives us his commentary in this video.

Skinny Dipping in Stockholm in September!

On Sunday we drove out to the archipelagos again. This time we jumped in the water. Jeez, it was cold!
