My trip to Netherland, Sweden and Finland

Romantic view on the boat from Finland to Sweden at night.


A canal (Street?) in Amsterdam.


Old part of Stockholm-City.


Turku Castle (In Finland).

I went to Sweden to visit one of my friends(Mohammad Hashtari). He studies M.S degree of mechanicl Eng. in Stockholm.
My flight was indirect flight from Zurich to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Stockholm, and I had 1 hour time to transfer!
I fall sleep in the morning, and got late to catch zurich-Amsterdam flight! This costed me! so I paid 283 CHF more to change the flight, but it worth it:) because, in the changed flight there was about 4 hours time to transfer. So I got a chance to go to Amsterdam and have an excursion with boat in the city. It is the city of canals. Somewhere to see!

Then I went to Stockholm and we walked in the city with my friend. One of the new expriences, for me, was this no-night system. because at 12 oclock pm it was like 9pm in switzerland. In fact they dont have real-night in the summer!!!!
Well in the morning we took the Isabella ship to travel from Stockholm to Finland. It was a great trip. my friend drank two canned energy-drink "Red Bull", and was dancing all the nigt. So I call him "Mammad Red-Bull" from now on:).

You can check out some nice pictures above!

***Note: I found a very good friend on the way back from Finland. She contacted me and said that the picture above is Turku Castle:)

Beauties of Switzerland.

On the way to Bort



A fancy view of mountain(Eiger I guess)!


Trummelbach Valley

Today I went with some friends to a climbing trip around Interlaken. The first place we went was Wengen, and from there we walked to a valley called Trummelbach which is full of amazing waterfalls. The Trummelbach waterfall is one of the most amazing waterfalls, bacause the strim is is inside the cliffs and Swiss people have made some tunnels that you can go through and see the stream inside the mountain.

The next place was Grindelwald, and from there we climbed to Bort, which was so great. On the way back I took a short-cut on the grass and snow and slipped down which was a really exciting experience:-)

Note: I usually don't care about the names! But I really care about the fact instead! (For example I care about the beauties of a mountain rather than its name, but when I want to write about it or talk about it, I have to remember all these hard German names:-(
