I’ll have to study the map for a while. I like Stockholm, but the beer is too expensive and it was strange to have someone tell you in which hotel you will be staying. (I didn’t mind that as much, because every hotel in town was full and the nice girl at the train station found me one).

- Stockholm is expensive, even for Scandinavians.
If you have the time, you’ll always manage to find hotel rooms costing at least 50% of the ordinary rate of the “official” budget ones, where ever you find yourself in this universe.
I remember entering a “Gasthof” in central Nuremburg, Germany, at 2 am some years ago.
I hadn’t been especially fortunate during my business adventures at that particular journey and therefore, I entered the ground floor of this establishment posing a question to the manager and his staff gathered round some half-emptied 1 litre “maas” (mugs) regarding wether or not they could offer me an exceptionally cheap overnight accomodation.
Upon being asked, in return, of what kind of money I was prepared to pay, I daringly responded “-€5” ($7,50)
They accepted and in return I received a damp but comfortable room with a splendid panoramic view of the old city centre of Nuremberg. I sat down by the window in my room in this 3-400 year old building, opened a bottle of Tücher and after having enjoyed it to the fullest, I slept very well.
Best of regards from Gothenburg, Sweden!
