Stockholm

Jeg sluttede min efterårsferie med at - øh - gå i fængsel! På Långholmen i Stockholm er et gammelt fængsel lavet om til hotel hvor jeg skulle sove. 

Det så altså pænt autentisk i gangen hvor værelserne var!

I ended my fall vacation by - ehm - going to jail! At Långholmen in Stockholm, an old prison has been made into a hotel where I was sleeping. 

It surely looked very authentic in the corridor where the rooms were!

Dette var mit værelse. Jeg boede i en celle, og badeværelset var så halvdelen af cellen ved siden af. Det var faktisk meget hyggeligt!

This is my room. I was staying in a cell, and the bathroom was then half the cell next to mine. It was kind of really cozy, actually!

Jeg skulle til Stockholm og se en kollega forsvare sin ph.d. Der har været utroligt mange ph.d. forsvar dette efterår! 

Denne gang kom jeg i god tid, og jeg skulle ikke have et sjal med. I stedet havde jeg gjort en strømpe klar til at blive strikket på. Alt gik godt - hun var super dygtig, og det var så hyggeligt at se alle dem jeg kender. 

The reason for going to Stockholm was a colleague defending her ph.d. There have been so many ph.d. defenses this fall!

This time, I arrived in time, and I wasn't bringing a shawl. Instead, I had a sock ready to be knitted. Everything went well - she was so clever, and I just loved seeing all the people I know. 

Fordi jeg ikke boede inde i byen, fik jeg lov at se nogle andre hjørner af Stockholm. Altså - jeg havde ikke forventet at se så fine efterårsfarver inde i byen!

Det var lidt anderledes end bare at bo tæt på stationen, og hotellet var faktisk virkelig fint!

Because I was not staying in town, I got to see some different corners in Stockholm. You know - I never expected to see these pretty fall colors in the city!

It was a bit different than just staying next to the station, and the hotel was really pretty!

Jeg havde håbet at komme forbi en fin lille butik i Gamla Stan som hedder "Trångt &Trevligt", hvor jeg har købt sådan nogle fine keramikøreringe. Desværre kunne jeg ikke finde den da jeg var i byen i butikkernes åbningstid, og da jeg endelig fandt den lørdag morgen, havde den lukket. Men SE lige de fine øreringe! Dem gad jeg godt have købt nogle af..... Det må blive en anden gang!

I had hoped to pass a really nice little shop in the old city called "Trångt & Trevligt", where I've bought some very pretty ceramic earrings. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it when I was in town during the opening hours, and when I finally found it on Saturday morning, it was closed. But just LOOK at the pretty earrings! I would have loved to buy some of those.... Will do it some other time!
