Uppsala

20-21 July 2019

I will come back to this nice town, so close to Stockholm! This warm summer saturday of July, Uppsala seemed to whisper "Stay...!" to me. And the short walk from the station, a cappuccino in the shadow was more than enough to convince me. Before leaving the café, my hotel room was booked.

I very much like to just stroll around in a town, looking at the façades of the houses, being it houses or cathedrals. It's a part of the spirit of the town, that I breathe.

Having seen the town garden years ago, not having the time to visit it, I could finally do it today! According to the information board in the park, the reason for its name "garden" instead of "park", is probably due to the fact that there used to be a market garden here in the end of the 19:th century.

After a walk in the very hot weather, I arrived to the castle and had a light lunch. Just about to leave the café, I found a poster informing of a guided tour starting.... only one minute later!

And how lucky I was, having the possibility to follow this very much inspiring and interesting guided tour by http://skroomt.se/ making the historic persons Eric XIV and his sister Cecilia come alive.
