I also been to the Vasa museum some 50 years ago. Back then it was completely different. They was still conservate it. So it was very wet and slippery. And the humidity was to the extreme. I bet your grandma liked it so much more now. 😀

My grandma was saying she remembered how humid it was when she went when she was younger. She absolutely loved getting to see what it's like now. She found the comparison of then and now very exciting hahaha.

Hi, Earlier today, KZbin recommended me to watch this video of yours. I’ve watched through your entire set of videos from your recent road trip through Southern Sweden. I like your videos a lot (for several reasons); I’m also happy to see that you and your relatives decided to visit so many places during your trip. If you choose to head back to Sweden, I would recommend you to also try to visit some of Sweden’s more Northern areas (like Dalarna, Hälsingland or even further up in Sweden). At the same time, it’s perfectly understandable if it’s difficult to find time to explore all things one might want to explore (based on the information you’ve given in the mentioned videos, I understand that you - at least in general - have enjoyed your recent stay in Sweden, and that you’ve already found places you want to explore more). I think you’re doing well when it comes to pronunciation of Swedish words, such as names. A few tips I can give you, regarding the letters Å, Ä and Ö: - The sound for the letter Å can be found in the English language. The sound of the letter Å is the same sound as the ”a”-sound in words like hall and call. - The sound of the letter Ä can also be found in the English language. The letter Ä has the same sound as for example the ”a”-sound in the English word care. - The sound of the letter Ö may be a bit trickier though. If you happen to know a bit of French, the letter Ö sounds the same as the ”eu”-sound in the word bleu (the French word for blue). Then, when it comes to having the letters å, ä and ö in words, they occasionly do sound a bit different from when those letters are pronounced separately. (For example, the ”Ö”-sound in the name Öland, is the same sound as for the letter ”Ö” in the Swedish alphabet. You’ll find the same pronunciation of the letter Ö in for example the name of Göteborg (the Swedish name for the city of Gothenburg), as well as in Göta kanal. The city of Örebro, however, has a ”Ö”-sound that is similar to the ”u”-sound in English words like turn and burn). After this short ”language lesson”, I’d like to say that I hope you’ll come back to us in Sweden some day, and I very much look forward to your future videos. Best of luck to you!

Hi! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the videos! 😁We covered a lot of ground hahah. Oh I certainly shall! I absolutely want to head north and explore Northern Sweden! Originally I had wanted to fly into Northern Sweden and make our way south, but it would of added an additional week onto the time frame. My grandfather and I sadly couldn't afford it at the time, but that's why I need to come back and explore more. It is likely I will have to make multiple trips to cover everything I want to see, but that's completely okay with me 😎 Oh those are wonderful tips! Thank you so much! Having the comparison to how it sounds in American words certainly helps the brain kind of grasp it a bit more. I will absolutely come back to your beautiful and friendly country! Thank you! 😁

@@candytechadventures Thank you for your reply! I’m happy to help you in any way I can. I get the impression that you enjoy hiking (I also happen to be someone who enjoys hiking). I’ve just watched your recent videos from the area around Wheeler Peak; I’d love to go hiking there myself one day. A very beautiful area! Another recommendation I’d like to give you regarding visiting Sweden, is to hike along one (or several) of Sweden’s hiking trails. I - a Stockholm citizen - have walked along two trails which both begin/end in Stockholm; Sörmlandsleden (the letter ö pronounced as the letter ö in the previously mentioned town name Örebro), as well as Roslagsleden. (The direct translation of ”leden” into English is ”the trail”, so in other words ”the Sörmland trail” and ”the Roslagen trail”). One of my plans for this summer is to complete my hike along the Roslagen trail (there is about 50 km - or about 31 miles - of hiking remaining for me along that trail). I’d say these trails are also quite accessible by public transport; my impression is that there is often some sort of bus and/or train connection nearby the mentioned two trails. Here’s a link to information about the Roslagen trail: www.alltrails.com/trail/sweden/stockholm/roslagsleden

Sorry for the delayed response, been pretty busy. Oh I very much do 😁! You absolutely should! The views are beautiful. Oohh okay, I'm intrigued. I'm hoping to get some hiking in when I go back for sure! I didn't want to try and do too much of it with the grandparents since I didn't want to kill them hahaha. I will certainly have to check out those trails indeed, thank you!! I hope you have a great time finishing your 50km of trail this summer! 😎

Now you are close to home. You took the route south of lake Mälaren. I am on the north side. In Västerås. Gripsholm houses the potrait collection of the state of Sweden. I agree with you about Gothenburg. It is horrible to drive in. Everytime I go to Stockholm I am alway really happy that I do not live there but can go back home when I am done. So better than Gothenburg but I am always happy to leave it. But I do agree about the Vasa museum. It is an absolutely fantastic museum. And there are other good ones in Stockholm.

@candytechadventures 9 ай бұрын

Ah okay. I was told the are on the north side is also beautiful. Any tips on places to see around your side of the lake? When you say the state of Sweden, do you mean the royalty or something else? 😂 so many people from Sweden all agree that driving in Gothenburg is horrible. It surprises me that with such a large consensus, it hasn't been slowly getting fixed yet. However, I did learn they are building a train tunnel there. Do they hope that will help with driving there? As someone who isn't too keen on living in a city, I fully understand the sentiment of being happy to leave it hahah. Absolutely wonderful museum indeed! Yes there are many and I want to explore more of them. Which would you say is your favorite museum in Stockholm?

@@candytechadventures Hello, The portrait collection in Gripsholm castle belongs to to the nation. So the government you might say. Not the royal court. I’m not in Stockholm that often and it is a bit difficult to point out the very best museum in Stockholm. An absolute gem which they have unfortunately recently closed was the medieval museum close to the parliament building. You have so many to choose from in Stockholm but as I like history I could mention the history museum. In the bottom floor you have the gold room which holds various treasures found all over the country. It is also easily found in central Stockholm. Just along the street straight up from the Djurgården bridge. You of course have several castles in and around Stockholm. The royal castle is worth a visit. You can go on a guided tour as well as video the treasury and the armoury. I’m not at all religious but I still like to visit old churches (as long as there is no religious stuff going on at the time). They are often beautiful buildings and interesting from historical and cultural perspective. You have some of those in central Stockholm. In general on the north side of the lake there is a lot. As I am in the centre of universe from my own perspective I will start with Västerås. Västerås is a bit over 1000 years old as a city. Much of the old buildings are gone but there are some older ones left. The cathedral with the tomb of king Erik XIV, kyrkbacken next to the cathedral. There are mostly wooden buildings from the 15 hundreds and onwards. Proban which is a student prison. I believe it is medieval. The area around the river down to the castle. Also the area around the city hall. There used to be a monastery until the reformation. We also have the oldest gymnasium (I suppose you would call it high school) in the country. If we move a bit out from the city centre up along the river there is the Vallby out doors museum. It is a collection of old buildings from the county. A bit further out we have the Badelunda area. There you have Anunds hög which is the biggest burial mound in the country. There is also the biggest collection of ship shaped stone settings. There are also many smaller burial mounds. A line of stones mark where the Eriksgata used to pass. Anundshög was also a site for a ting in medieval time. Around Västerås we have a few castles. Ängsö Castle which is said to be one of the most haunted places in the country. Tidö castle which was the home of Axel Oxenstierna. He was the chancellor of Gustav the second Agust. Tidö is one of the best baroque castles in the country. In the summer you can go on a guided tour. In the grounds there is also a motorcycle museum. Then you have Strömsholm castle. Also there you can go on a guided tour in the summer. It is in an area with lots of horse activities. You have meadows and areas with old oak trees. There is an animal hospital and a riding gymnasium. In June every year you can watch the Swedish grand national in Söderängarna. It is just next to the castle. Just east of Västerås you also have Frösåkers brygga. A guy who is interested in history has a collection of viking and medieval boats. Including a cog. If you want a be local guide I can do that for you if you want. But all of that is too much for just one day. To the west of Västerås you have Arboga, Köping and Kungsör. Arboga has a medieval week in August. Köping has a nice car museum. East of Västerås you have Enköping. They have nice parks to visit in the summer. Closer to Stockholm you have the small town of Sigtuna. The town itself is worth a visit. Close to it you have Rosers ergs castle and the smaller Steninge castle. You can get guided tours in both. Those things are a small selection of what is there to see. Of course there is a lot more.

When I was a kid, we used to go on vacation in other parts of Sweden (I'm from the Stockholm area). We often stayed in something called "vandrarhem" (wanderers homes), it is a lower standard than hotel and can be quite cheap. It is basically a room with a bed, you bring your own sheets and stuff. Usually no food included either. Rooms can come with their own toilets, or they are in a common area with showers. There is usually a refrigerator you can store perishables is. Need to book these quite in advance though, as they fill up quickly. Good way to go on sightseeing trips in Sweden, without it costing very much if you don't mind the varying standards. There is a good chance your relatives in Sweden can tell you something about vandrarhem, if you ask. Groceries are pretty expensive here, so stock up on things like pasta, sliced ham, bread etc. Hope that helps with future plans a bit :)

Oh interesting, and I love the name "Wanderers homes" hahah. Sounds semi like a hostel. Thank you for the information, that's super helpful for future trips. If I'm alone I am more than happy with a hostel style place. Yeah I noticed while in the grocery store. Does Sweden have much in the way of Gluten free items at grocery stores? I noticed a few things, but not too much. Wasn't sure if it was because of the location of the store, or if Sweden just didn't have much of that yet like we do here? Thank you bunches!! It helps more than you know 😁
