Your boss sends you on a course away from home in a strange city, all alone without any friends. So what do you do? You take some of your vacations days, a credit card and ofcourse your camera and go there three days early to see this metropolis and make a new friend.

I took a detour through Stockholm when flying back from some meetings in Helsinki and spent a few days in what a friend described as 'one of most magical cities of in Europe'.
