Glo Beast

Glo beast - a cuddly Tiger on Hotel bed
Hotel Glo in Helsinki offers nice rooms with a very special service: when we entered the room, a soft toy tiger was already expecting us.
This was meant to be our companion for the duration of the stay, taking the”Glo Beast”with us would have cost 30 €.
Still, a funny idea and quite a contrast to the very modern rooms fitted with fast internet access…

Kalmar castle (Sweden, photo: Laurenz Bobke)

Kalmar is a pleasant town in Southern Sweden that has many beautiful buildings and one truly historic monument: Kalmar castle, where the Kalmar Union (combining Denmark, Sweden and Norway) was founded in 1397, as a counterweight to the rapidly growing Hanse.
This is one of the most important and most beautiful castles in Sweden.
