Uppsala

It's a long train trip from Oslo to Stockholm, about 10 hours, so it's most likely that I took the overnight train. I found that there are two pictures of Uppsala, a handful of pictures of Stockholm, and Helsinki after that. So I come to the conclusion that I either stayed only one night in Stockholm or not at all, and explored it in more depth the second time through. Sleeping on overnight trains to save on accommodation and time was a strategy I used a few times. But you miss the landscape in between.

I needed somewhere to while away a couple of hours, and Uppsala which is about an hour north of of Stockholm seemed as good as any. Uppsala University is the oldest in Sweden.

This is the cathedral, probably the grandest in Sweden as Uppsala is also the ecclesiastical centre of Sweden.

The main street of Uppsala. If my guesstimate of my visit date is correct, it would have been a Saturday morning and this would account for the lack of traffic.

There are some good pictures of the Stockholm archipelago as the overnight ferry cruised towards Helsinki, so this time I'll merge the photos from the return visit with those of the one-day first visit.
