Stockholm is a wonderful city to see and know, we started our little trip in the port of Helsinki to follow the path of the Baltic and visit Stockholm. To reach the capital of Sweden took the ferry.

The alcohol in the Scandinavian countries are burdened with taxes that many people avoid the duty free shopping on the ferries.

Human beings by nature are afraid of their neighbors, and therefore he always saw the need to guard against a possible invasion or external attack. This feeling is not new, and only defensive techniques have changed over time. Some examples include border surveillance systems using infrared cameras and the famous missile shield with which Reagan wanted to shield the U.S. in the 80. But the old method of building walls and build strong force has continued to this day. (más…)

Petersburg and Stockholm on the same trip, but the problem with these trips is that we can see reality, we can not enjoy this jewel washed by the Baltic Sea in peace and we have to go, like a Formula 1 race they were, all the streets of the old without being able to calm down a second.

Later, around 1890 more gold veins found in what today is the current city’s financial district, from that moment, the town became a city full of miners who came out with the dream of finding gold and become rich.
