In Stockholm you can catch a ferry (very luxurious) to Finland overnight

On Board there are exquisite restaurants, duty free shopping, live entertainment - just like a cruise ship! Our destination was Mariehamn in Finland or you can go further to Helsinki and then Riga in Latvia. Our cruise liner was Cinderella from the Viking Line. It's competitor is Birka Cruises which is first class as well.

Swedish laundry rooms in the basement of apartments

Firstly you need to book on line for either a three hour or four hour slot. After 10pm you no longer have access to the laundry so if you forget to return you no longer have access 'till the morning. Once you have booked your slot no one else can enter the laundry room.

This outside the laundry room and you swipe your key card where the blue area is to gain access.

This washing machine is for heavy loads or rugs.

This is a large drying cupboard for sheets and shoes

Smaller drying cabinet

Rubber bands hold the washing in place

Two normal washing machines

When you are on your own you can fold your own sheets.

Electric clothes mangle/press. The clothes are pressed using a linen cloth as backing.
