VIDEÖ: A train ride across Sweden

Here's a quick video that I took on our train ride across Sweden today. We got on the train at around noon in Copenhagen, and got off in Stockholm just before six. It was a high-speed "X2000" train, which means that it travels at speeds of up to 125 miles per hour (and the train automatically tilts to the side to take the curves at high speed). I (Brad) loved the ride: the beautiful nordic scenery, the sensation of high speed as the train tilted, and the great coffee they served in the "Bistrocar." Emily, on the other hand, spend most of the ride with her eyes closed, desperately trying to keep her nausea in check. With a start like that, our visit to Sweden can only get better!

Here's the first portion of our trip as we flew across the sea between Denmark and Sweden!




And here's what the Swedish landscape looks like:
