Today was another travel day. Had a great night in the pub the evening before with some hostel friends, said my goodbyes and left The White Ferry hostel at 11 am this morning. Had a short walk up to the bus station and caught the next one to Gatwick Airport which took about an hour. I was flying with Ryan air for the first time which is known to have cheap flights throughout Europe. But what I didn't know is it's kind of like a fight for your life situation haha. They don't tell you what gate your boarding from until 60 minutes before your departure and it comes up on the little airport screens. Once thru security you find your gate and wait to board. It's free seating so there are no assigned seats so again everyone rushes to get on the airplane to find that perfect seat for their trip. I always want the window and luckily enough I found one. It was a 2 hour flight into Stockholm and also they are an hour ahead. Just as I was getting used to London time I've gone ahead another hour. Pretty sure my internal clock is getting slightly confused by now....
After landing I made my way to the (insert strange swedish name here) buses and bought my ticket. 2 hours later I arrived in Stockholm city and was greeted by my friend Sandra! Sooo excited to see her it's been a year and a half now since I saw her last. We stopped for some food and 20 mins or so later we arrived at her house. We caught up and looked online for what we should do for the next two days. She's on vacation herself as she normally lives in Canada and hasn't been in Stockholm much in the past 5 years so it's kind of fun we both get to be tourists even though she was born and raised here haha. Sounds like we are going to do the free walking tour, try to take a boat ride if the weather is nice which it's supposed to be and pick up some groceries. YAY Sweden! Now I feel like I'm fasr from home !!!
