It was cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm and back -again. And it feels too many times made-up. People around the boat are so same kind of as always, personal seems to be the same but fed up with their works and whit all those brainless customers. I have no idea why people seems to leave their brains home when they start a vacation. On these cruising boats it's even worst than usually. Alcohol, too much alcohol, gamblings, raunchy speaks, courting... Lot of teenagers, midlleage who search some variation for their conventional life, Asians..and us. Yaeh. Sometimes, like on these last trip, it really seems we'll be the only normal persons on the big boat. Haa..!
So viking line was something I don't necessarily want to suffer in the short run.
But Stockholm shows its nice sides again, even the feather was grey and gloomy. Södermalm is still my favorite palce in Stockholm. We take also a walk around the Old Town and ofcourse there's a lot of nice small boutiques but its like most of old towns; turists, turism, business, nothing original, nothing typically swedish. I know it's nowadays same nealry all around the world, in every small villages. Those McDonalds-H&M-VeroModa-Burberry blaa, blaa things. Still most of the places, all the good places have something their own too. Something original, something from which you really feel where you are. I haven't found that ambiance from Stockholm yet but in Södermalm I've get most close to that.
Narrow alleys, small old woody houses, cats, dogs, schools and nurserys. Ordinary life all around you. Sonorous swedish ja smiling eyes on peoples on the streets or shops. Or perhaps it's me who see just I want to see. Perhaps its because of holiday. I feel it's a real holiday when you don't think about home, work, upcoming day or anything else you see and feel at that moment. On that Wednesday 12th March I really feel I had a holiday!
