Location

Dybecksvägen in Södra Ängby, a suburb of Stockholm. Only a few minutes from the Ängbyplan subway station.

the ru and Elin

Arriving from different directions, we converged at the central station in Stockholm. Elins train was delayed, so the ru had an hour to wander aimlessly around the city. He found a park, but failed to bring photographic evidence.

A rather uneventful ride with subway line T19 brought us to the proper station, after that it was just a short walk. the ru was a bit disappointed that the supposed "subway" was really above ground most of the distance.

Elin earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the (59, 17) geohash on 2010-01-02.

  Plattan, the heart of Stockholm. This is where the junkies hang out.

  the ru managed to get his ticket stamped thrice in a row. Normally, each trip costs two coupons. Not fully aware how the system worked, he somehow negotiated something different with the ticket clerks.
