Further up the road toward Östersund is the Big Moose motel, with the smallest railway station I’ve ever seen.

We went to Östersund again, by car this time though. We stopped for lunch at the weirdest motorway service station I’ve ever seen.

There is a river running through the centre of Uppsala.

Standing above the city of Uppsala is the imposing Slott.

In the grounds of Uppsala Cathedral there are more runestones

I went back to Uppsala.

In the churchyard by the Medieval Abbey in Sigtuna is a rune stone and a couple of fragments built into a small building.

In the centre of Sigtuna are the ruins of a medieval abbey.

The small town of Sigtuna is situated on the shores of the lake to the north west of Stockholm, was at one time an important city, albeit a small one. Its population has grown significantly in recent years with the arrival of the nearby Arlanda airport.
