Winter in Stockholm

I can hear you complaining from here - This winter has been too cold in Australia! What's going on?! Yes, I saw it on the news, Sydney apparently snowed. Small white hail covered the grounds of the northern beaches creating the white christmas effect on the city that never really had such spectacle.

Well, think this - at least the harbour is still working! I remember my visit to Stockholm during an European winter. It was beautiful, it was magical and it was freezing.

Stockholm is in a way, very much like Sydney. It's based around a harbour and is absolutely beautiful. In a different way of course, that there are a lot more history and heritage in its building structures than we have in Sydney, and in winter, the harbour closes because the water in the harbour is frozen.

It certainly was a novelty for me, the first time European traveller at the time (in 2003) to be spending such winter in such a cold country.

I am looking forward to visiting the remote northern islands of Norway when I have the chance. That would be such an experience!

That's cold hard ice - and a harbour full of it!

Yes it has been cold in Sydney but I guess we can't compare it to places like Stockholm!!

Was just in Stockholm two weeks ago! It was sunny and bright, around 20-25 degrees and the sun didn't set till 11pm : ) The Stockholm in your pictures is totally unrecognisable to me! I'll have to go again in winter.
