SVERIGE - SWEDEN A bus ride from Oslo to Karlstad in Sweden Tuesday 11th June 2019 I had originally planned to go straight to Stockholm by train, but  one of the advantages of the way I travel is that it is very easy to change my plans. I decided that I wanted to see a bit more of Sweden and found a long distance bus that stopped at Karlstad, a town situated at the top of Lake Vänern, about half way between Oslo and Stockholm, so I booked a seat.  It was a luxury coach with loads of leg room, wide reclining seats etc. and once again Lucy had a window seat. We followed the main E18 road that goes across Sweden to Stockholm, but there was hardly any traffic and at times it was more like a B road at home.  But she soon hopped onto the table so that she could see the Swedish countryside We crossed the border from Norway into Sweden and continued to Karlstad. The journey took just under 3 hours, but Karlstad Station was the only stop. The bus continued to Stockholm without any further stops
