Dalarna highlight: Vasaloppet
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007
On the fifth day of our holiday, our group went on a two-day hike along the Vasaloppet route. We set out from Berga, a small town in the middle of Sweden (which, to my surprise, means almost exactly the same as “in the middle of nowhere”) where the Vasaloppet starts. The hiking trail does not [...]

Stuff like traffic signs in the middle of the night, busstops, empty school buildings, platforms at railway stations, apartmentbuildings in the distance, abandoned cars. I’ve made a page on my picasa page, called Useless [...]
