Friday 10th September
Oslo
Had a proper look around the whole city, its not nearly so neat and tidy as Bergen and I accidentally interrupted a minor drug deal under a bridge at one point! However theres lots going on here and quite a lot to see even though the centre is not that big for a capital, I did like the place actually it has a nice mix of old and new.

Oslo - Stockholm
I arrived early at the train station in order to catch the train to Stockholm only to find that we had to get a bus halfway! I thought that only happened in Britain! Anyway, I eventually arrived in Stockholm around four I made my way up to the hostel which was quite central but not very sociable. Had a look around saw the end of some sort of city run which had a big music event next door and then had dinner in a bar where they were showing some footie - a burger and a pint cost be nearly 20 quid! Came home to find two texts, one from Dad and one from mum informing me that Bmth had won and were up to third. I had previously spent half the evening trying to find a Wifi signal to find out the scores without success so this was very welcome!
Sunday 12th September
Stockholm
Plenty of wandering around the city sights. I got a bit lost at one point and ended up going miles out of my way! Stockholm is larger than I expected and full of very grand older buidings but it doesnt have the same mix of attractive new buildings like Oslo, in fact most of the newer stuff was pretty miserable. The city is made up of lots of Islands with bridges criss crossing over, whoch gives it quite a romantic feel. There is a small island in the center which is home to the old town, lots of civic buildings and tight streets which was proabaly the highlight.

Stockholm - Gothenburg
Left Stockholm in the morning and got the train over to Gothenburg. I eventually got to my hostel after a long ish walk and that is where I am posting from now. I note the calls for photos from the messageboard and I will upload when I can but a lot of these places dont allow you to upload anything so pipe down and be patient! ;-)
