Stockholm trip !

During this year, I have some obligations relative to the EVS. 
I have to, inter alia, participated to two sessions EVS training : On-Arrival training and Mid-term training.
These training are very useful to learn more about the EVS legislation, meet other volunteers in the country, make our own project and review the project. The training held at Kärsögarden (near Stockholm), begun the october 16th and finished the 19th october. Before I enjoyed Stockholm during the weekend and I lived in the flat of a nice host couchsurfing. 
I saw a New Burlesque show in the context of The 2nd International Stockholm Burlesque Festival: The Saturday Extravaganza ! I have too visited a lot of places and museums and ate a lot of good food !  These three days passed very fast ! 
I'm felt really good in Stockholm, I like the good vibes and in the same time the rhythm quiet and relaxed. 
This city is beautiful, safe and welcoming. I hope return soon ! 

Here, some pictures of this experience : 

The beautiful and attractive LouLou D'vil during the 2nd International Stockholm Burlesque Festival.

Over the rainbow


The national Museum


                                                                           Sculptures in The National Museum.

I was very surprised by the very early closing of museums. I had to leave at 17h of The National Museum because it closed !
I have too visited the Fotografiska Museum after that, it's one of the only museums open after 17h/18h at Stockholm ! But I have no pictures of this visit.
During the monday, the majority of the places are closed in Stockholm, so I walked in the street, visited Gamla Stan, the old town, and make some shopping in the main street : Drottninggatan. 

Some things typically swedish for tourists. 


The Royal Palace

The Changing of the guards


The front of the Royal Palace

The Gamla Stan main place

A good coffee/ restaurant where I buy an excellent broccoli, blue-cheese pie and caramel, nuts pie.
A well deserved break after this walking !


The pretty shops of Gamla Stan. 


Detour by Riddarholmen


    The Stockholms stadsbibliotek (The public library of Stockholm)
I like so much this architecture, this building makes me thinks of the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.


     The rotunda inside the Stockholms stadsbibliotek. This place is very inspiring and give the envy to take a book and read.


It's finish for my personal visit of Stockholm ! 
Now, a little presentation of the training. 
We were 10 volunteers whose 5 french ! The other volunteers come from Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, Macedonia and Georgia. 
It was a great team and I'm really happy of having this meeting. We spent a very good time together ! I hope we meet again soon around a Fika ! 
Further, the food was very tasty which doesn't spoil the pleasure ! 
The training was very interesting and Lars our trainer very nice and educational. 
We lived at Kärsögarden in the residential house's King, it was funny and kitsch ! 


                                                                                               Excursion to the castle


                                                                                                            The castle


               Fika and discussion


              I think this baby face is scary !

 We seem to work very hard ! 

All the volunteers and Lars our trainer.
