Scandinavian Trip- Norway, Sweden and Denmark

















Well, it seems like we are approaching towards the end of March now..n it’s Spring..n it’s Spring Break..it’s a month holiday..n as usual, Holiday=Trip..this time around, we went to the Scandinavian countries..there are bout 4 countries in the Scandinavian region namely Norway, Sweden, Denmark n Finland.. but we only hit 3 countries due to strict budget..

We went to Oslo, the capital city of Norway..it’s the land of the Norwegian..or Viking..or wutever..we arrived at the rygge airport early in the morning n went to the city centre by bus..in the evening we went to explore the main street of Karl Johan..it’s like the Petaling Street of Norway..very nice..took photos as usual..the next day, we went to almost all the attractions in the city..the typical ones as usual, art gallery, museum, parliament building, palace n others..then we spent then nite at the airport coz we’ve got an early flight to Stockholm..

We arrived in Stockholm on the very next day..upon arrival, we went to check in at the Hostels by Nordic, or so n went to explore the cities..to be frank, I really like the hostel..it’s very new, clean n nice..very comfortable..there were cleaners cleaning it at like all the time..seriously..Stockholm is a very nice city..superb n everything..we went to almost all the places.. I was hoping to go ikea since we r in Sweden, we even chased a lady holding an ikea bag, but she said it’s quite far from the city..well, no luck..mayb next time..as if there will be next time..haha..n I felt that we walked the most steps here because I wanted to find the exact spot that I saw in the website..but we juz couldn’t find it..we walked hours non-stop but to no avail..mayb we already found it but juz hadn’t realize it coz that picture was took from helicopter mayb..but so be it..

Our final stop, Copenhagen, Denmark..we went there by bus from Stockholm..omg, it took bout 11 hours to get there..remind me of blackpool..but the bus was comfortable, so my neck was alrite..hehe..i remembered waking up when the bus was stopping to refuel feeling so freaking damn thirsty..i meant that thirst woke me up..went to buy sum drinks n that might be the best drink ever..phew..then, as usual, we went to explore around Copenhagen..it’s always been my dream to come to Denmark since I was in form 3..i’m a huge fan..coz of their never say die attitude in sports..badminton n football..i guess dat’s y..well, we went to almost all the attractions..same things around..n to Nyhavn..it’s a colourful 17th century waterfront, canal and popular entertainment district. It’s very nice n amazing..it’s like the main attraction in Copenhagen..we took a boat ride n it covered everything that were to be seen in Copenhagen..awesome experience..

Overall, this Scandinavian trip was a success..n tiring too..it took us one week..juz imagine a week of travelling around..but it was fun..gained lot of experiences n else..now I understand y we should do all of these before getting married, it’s bcoz if u do this with ur kids, surely they will lamenting all the time asking too many questions such as ,’when r we going back?’, ’what next’ n countless others unnecessary questions..hehe..
