Left Copehnagen Monday and took the train to Stockholm, which runs across the sea to Malmo and then up the southern part of Sweden. The train was fairly empty early in the morning and it ran through various industrial looking areas and then fields of rape seed and the open countryside of sweden. Before I fell asleep I got a chance to take a few photos.
On the plan ride from Seattle to Copenhagen I met a woman and while we were chatting she suggested that if I needed a place to stay I could stay with her mother who lived near the center of town. When I arrived I called her from the train station and she gave me directions to her flat. Turns out she lived in a rather ritzy part of town called (appropriatly enough) Karlaplan. She was a clothing designer and I stayed in her sewing room on a guest bed behind the dress rack ; )
I only had about a day there so the next morning I got my stuff and
walked around the city center and the island in the middle, did one
museum and then walked to where my boat to Helsinki was docked.
The boat ride out was beautiful, you go through hours of small islands
off the coast of sweden and it is light late so we had a lot of time
to enjoy. My roomates were fun and we ended up seeing the on-boat
entertainment in the evening which was also really funny. Stayed up rather late, so when I awoke we were allready docking in Helsinki.

We should have given you the name of the dojos to go to. No excuse for not training! (like I can talk).
