Olen jo pitk\u00e4\u00e4n suunnitellut t\u00e4t\u00e4 postausta, mutta en ole saanut aikaiseksi. K\u00e4vimme nimitt\u00e4in viime lokakuussa Ruotsissa pienell\u00e4 roadtripill\u00e4. Se olikin taas taattua meid\u00e4n pariskunnan sekoilua. K\u00e4vimme nimitt\u00e4in hakemassa jostain Norjan rajan tuntumasta yhden vintage-auton moottorin. Vuokrasimme hakumatkaa varten pikku-pakun, eik\u00e4 ihan mink\u00e4 tahansa pikku-pakun vaan sellaisen joka k\u00e4y ja kukkuu kaasulla. Autossa oli varatankkina bensatankki, mutta siihen mahtui vain kymmenen litraa. Olisittepa olleet k\u00e4rp\u00e4sen\u00e4 katossa n\u00e4kem\u00e4ss\u00e4 sit\u00e4 perheneuvottelua kun mietittiin, ett\u00e4 miten pitk\u00e4lle se kymmenen litraa bensaa riitt\u00e4\u00e4 (molemmat tankit olivat nimitt\u00e4in vuokra-autoa hakiessa melko tyhj\u00e4t, eik\u00e4 Sastamalassa tai l\u00e4hell\u00e4k\u00e4\u00e4n ole kaasuasemia)<\/strong>, miss\u00e4 on seuraava kaasuasema, mit\u00e4 kaasua autoon tankataan ja voiko auto r\u00e4j\u00e4ht\u00e4\u00e4 jos se onkin v\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4\u00e4. My\u00f6hemmin kuultiin (Ruotsin puolella)<\/span><\/strong> ett\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 se voi r\u00e4j\u00e4ht\u00e4\u00e4kin ulkomailla tankatessa sill\u00e4 eri maissa on kuulemma erilaisia kaasun paineita. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kun p\u00e4\u00e4simme viimein m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4np\u00e4\u00e4h\u00e4n, sain hieman makua siit\u00e4 mille tuosta englantia \u00e4idinkielen\u00e4\u00e4n puhuvasta puolisosta tuntuu t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 suomea puhuvien keskell\u00e4. Paikan is\u00e4nt\u00e4 nimitt\u00e4in v\u00e4ltt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 halusi, ett\u00e4 puhun h\u00e4nen kanssaan ruotsia, kun kuuli ett\u00e4 meill\u00e4 Suomessa sit\u00e4 luetaan pakollisena kielen\u00e4 kouluissa. Voin kertoa ett\u00e4 ruotsini on melko ruosteessa, mutta ehk\u00e4 h\u00e4n ymm\u00e4rsi jotain sent\u00e4\u00e4n. Ainakin h\u00e4n sai p\u00e4iv\u00e4n naurut jos ei muuta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ajomatka takaisin Tukholmaan sujui suuremmitta kommelluksitta. Paluulauttaa odotellessa vietimme p\u00e4iv\u00e4n Tukholmassa. Olisimme halunneet k\u00e4yd\u00e4 Skoklosterin linnassa Uppsalan l\u00e4hell\u00e4, mutta se ei ollut en\u00e4\u00e4 siihen aikaan syksy\u00e4 avoinna, joten jouduimme keksim\u00e4\u00e4n muuta tekemist\u00e4. Vaikka olenkin k\u00e4ynyt Tukholmassa useamman kerran niin Kuninkaanlinnassa en ollut koskaan k\u00e4ynyt. P\u00e4\u00e4timme siis menn\u00e4 ihailemaan sen loistoa. En muuten suosittele pys\u00e4k\u00f6im\u00e4\u00e4n autoa Tukholman keskustassa. Maksoimme viiden tunnin pys\u00e4k\u00f6innist\u00e4 noin 60 euroa. Emme olleet varautuneet t\u00e4h\u00e4n sill\u00e4 olimme aikoneet tosiaan vierailla siell\u00e4 Skoklosterissa. Matkan pohjaty\u00f6t olivat siis todellakin t\u00e4ysin olemattomat. Ehk\u00e4 sielt\u00e4 olisi l\u00f6ytynyt joku edullisempikin pys\u00e4k\u00f6intihalli jos olisi ollut aikaa perehty\u00e4 asiaan. Mutta t\u00e4ss\u00e4p\u00e4 sitten muutama kuva millainen lukaali se Kungliga slottet oikein on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been planning this post for long time, but never had the time nor energy. Last October we made a little road trip to Sweden. It was our typical, guaranteed crazy arse travelling. We went to pick up a vintage car engine from somewhere nearby Norwegian border. We rented a small caddy for the trip, and not any kind of caddy, but one that runs on gas. It did have small reserve tank for fuel, but only for 10 liters. You should have seen “the family meeting” in the car when we were wondering how far does the fuel take us (of course both tanks were empty when we picked up the car and there is no gas stations what so ever nearby)<\/strong>, where is the next gas station, what kind of gas do we need and is it going to explode if it’s wrong kind. Later we found out (in Sweden)<\/strong> that it can explode when travelling abroad, because different countries have different gas pressures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we finally arrived to the destination, I got the taste of my my hubby experiences here in Finland all the time. Our host insisted me on speaking Swedish with him, after he found out that they teach that as a mandatory language in Finnish schools. I can tell you, my Swedish is very rusty, but perhaps he understood something. Atleast he got the laugh of the day, if anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drive back to Stockholm was without any big cockups. When waiting for our return ferry back to Finland we spent the day in Stockholm. We would have actually wanted to visit Skokloster castle nearby Uppsala, but unfortunately it was already closed for the season. So we had to figure out something else to do. Even though I have visited many times in Stockholm, I had never been to the Royal palace before. So we decided to see that. BTW, I do not recommend parking in the city center. We ended up paying 60\u20ac for five hour parking. We were not prepared to spend the day in Stockholm, because the plan was Skokloster. So our pre-trip planning was pretty non-existing. Perhaps there would have been cheaper option if we would had done it in advance. But here’s some photos of the Kungliga slottet, The Kings castle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aatelinen Kristina Gyllenstierna oli Ruotsin valtionhoitaja Sten Sture nuoremman puoliso ja t\u00e4m\u00e4n kuoleman j\u00e4lkeen puolusti Tukholmaa Tanskan ja Norjan kuningas Kristian II vastaan. Lopulta Kristina joutui nelj\u00e4n kuukauden piirityksen j\u00e4lkeen antautumaan syyskuussa 1520 jolloin Kristian II armahti h\u00e4net ja h\u00e4nen seuraajansa. Kristiina sai antautumisen j\u00e4lkeen pit\u00e4\u00e4 H\u00e4meen Linnan ja H\u00e4meen l\u00e4\u00e4nin sek\u00e4 muutamia suomalaisia kartanoita, mutta joutui my\u00f6hemmin luopumaan suurimmasta osasta omaisuuttaan. \/
Noblewoman Christina Gyllenstierna was the wife of Swedish Regent Sten Sture the Younger. After his death she defended Stockholm against the king of Denmark and Norway, Christian II. Finally after four months of siege in September 1520 she was forced to surrender. Christian II gave the letter of amnesty to her and her followers and she was allowed to keep H\u00e4me Castle and H\u00e4me region in Finland and couple Finnish manorhouses. However later she was forced to give away most of her property.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
