Stockholm is still closed on the midsummer long weekend so we are missing quite a lot as well..H&M tak sempat masuk, Viking Village tu tutup, the rest are too far away for a day trip (our batteries are running low...Msians are not that fit for long walks)so that leaves us with cruising on Lake Malaren to Drottningholm Palace, the official palace of the Swedish royal family.Although much influenced by Versailles, I thought this smaller palace was much more interesting than Versailles.Women's power in the making of this palace.I need to find out why there's a strong presence of Chinese architecture and art here..byk decorations in the palace are Chinese.Didn't see any pandas, though.I also love the spacious gardens around the palace which are open to the public..syok tengok orang spending time with their families: barbecues, picnics, just strolling.Istana pun rakyat marhaen boleh masuk.Jauhnya kita dengan mereka.
Sweden has so much respect bagi mrk yg 'lemah' - kemudahan utk ibubapa yg beranak kecik is so many sampaikan ada cable-car khas utk ibubapa yg bawa prams.Bagi pengayuh basikal, ada special lane utk mereka.It's interesting to see yg sibuk tolak prams adalah kaum bapa - mcm2 pram...yg kami paling suka yg mcm beca (si bapa tolak mcm beca zaman lama...tak sempat ambik gambar cos' the daddies move very fast! :) )
The Swedes are very creative.Kita cuba cari sebab mengapa.Saya fikir fakta giving respect to space (fikiran lapang dan tak berserabut utk berfikir).Now trending...train stations bawah tanah mereka dijadikan juga art galleries jadi kita menunggu train pun tak bosan dan menggunakan masa belajar sesuatu yg baru.Tapi Stockholm ni sejuk dari Oslo.Walaupun cantik,I would not want to stay here lama2... even in summer.Oslo, tak apa.:)

The boat we took back and had a nice lunch onboard |
 |
This family caught my attention sebab ayah dia jalan jauh di depan anak2nya
- puas the gals ran after him. Haha. A beautiful pic of a family spending time in the sun |
 |
These kids also caught my attention because of their innocent excitement
strolling in a beautiful garden towards the fountain |
 |
| another lazy day for a family, sitting on the bench and thinking of nothing |
 |
| a burst of life! |
 |
| tiru orang Muslim kalau garden ada fountain2 ni |
 |
| suka sangat tak berbaju |
 |
| on guard..palace ni salah satu dari byk istana yang masih digunakan oleh keluarga di raja |
 |
| tangga yang menjadi buah mulut orang di zamannya |
 |
| semua dari batu marmar |
 |
| lama juga nak siapkan istana ini selepas yang asalnya terbakar |
 |
dari tingkap sebuah bilik - memandang terus ke laman
(permandangan berbeza dari bilik yang berbeza).Seronoknya jadi raja! |
 |
| Ini dari bilik yang lain (rasanya dari library) |
 |
| kita pun cuba buat plaster ceiling mcm ni - tak berapa nak menjadi |
 |
| bukankah kat Mekah pun ada tiang dan dinding mcm ni? |
 |
ada satu play by Faridah Merican on environment yang zahirkan perasaan
pokok yang dibentuk begini rupa - pokok yang hilang sifat kepokokannya.When I saw these
trees shaped like this, I could not appreciate the beauty any more.I became the trees! |
 |
| sedikit catatan sejarah mengenai istana ini.Power to the women! |
 |
| mereka yang mencintai kecantikan (dan kemewahan) |
 |
| space yang membantu creativity |
 |
| antara decorations dari China |
 |
| perpustakaannya |
 |
bilik tidur istana ini lagi cantik dari bilik tidur Queen di Versailles
(pada pandangan saya).Perhatikan hiasan pasu dari China itu.
Mungkin fashionable waktu itu (exotic) to have Chinas |
 |
| palace dari boat kami |
 |
| kami jumpa dia dalam boat kami |
 |
| nama boat kami |
 |
| satu permandangan biasa di rantau ini (Oslo lagi cantik) |
 |
| what a beauty from here! |
satu boat baru sampai
 |
| yang ini dah di seberang Lake Malaren (dekat Police Station) |
 |
| suka tengok fountains |
 |
| Respect for cyclists - lorong mereka |
 |
| utk org berjalan kaki |
 |
| "follow the water" |
 |
| istana tadi - dari laman yang luas itu |
 |
| Bulan August mereka ada performance di theatre lama ini (salah sebuah rumah ini) |
 |
| souvenir shop yang jual bermacam2 berkaitan kehidupan istana.Ini patung theatre mrk |
 |
| kain tu kalau buat baju kurung - cantik |
 |
| nak beli tapi susah nak bawak balik |
 |
| itik pun tau nak ber-summer mummer |
 |
lunch onboard - sedap lah pulak makanan Swedish ni
(seafood based).Ni gamnbar roti je dulu. |
 |
orang berebut nak balik - nothing else to see after you have done
your istana tour |
