The name 'Södertälje' for us has meant the last stop before Stockholm. You go through the Södertälje canal through a lock, which brings you into Lake Mälaren, from which you reach Stockholm from the West, through the back door so to speak. But now that we are actually in Södertälje, we find that it is also where Björn Borg learned to play tennis: although he was born in Stockholm, he grew up here in Södertälje. The road he walked to the tennis courts every day from age 7 is now Björn Borg Promenade. Here it is, with the tennis courts in the background:
For the rest, Södertälje does not seem to have a lot to offer apart from graffiti. Tomorrow, we'll continue to Stockholm in the hope we'll find an empty slot in a marina. It's high season now and quite busy.
No need to say that our earlier post about the most northern point in this year's trip was wrong. That was before we decided to head for Stockholm. Today we passed 59 degrees North. The insurance for Onbekommmerd sets a limit of 60 degrees, Stockholm is 59 degrees and 20 minutes, so we're OK!
