A view in front of the church
Gamla Uppsala, Uppsala County, Sweden - 16th December 2007
Our hotel in Gamla Stan - the Victory - is full on Saturday, so we take the hire-car for a trip up north a bit to see the town of Uppsala, which lies about 100km north of Stockholm. It turns out to be a really pleasant excursion, not least because the countryside is nice and frosty everywhere - giving a hint of Christmas snow. In the evening, we eat at the Restaurant Domtrapkälleren, and wander around the pretty University town, at about -7°C. The next day, there's a trip to Gamla Uppsala, Sweden's equivalent of Suffolk's Sutton Hoo.
