Plans Change

I have spent the last two nights in Sodertalje.  I said goodbye to Sandra and her family on Thursday after doing a little bit of shopping in Old Town and she helped me with the trains to go meet Niclas.
I've been lucking out with the weather as it hasn't even rained once!  It was dark and cloudy yesterday but back to sunny and beautiful today.
I slept in and had a leasurely morning.  Got to do laundry yay!!
Niclas and his friend came home and we headed into town to this super cool fun place.  About 4 or 5 buses/trains later we made it there.  Apparently it's pretty close but feels a long ways a way when you take so many modes of transportation.  It was a 4 storey glass building filled with movie theatres, bowling, arcade games, pool tables.....everything you could ever want to do for fun was there!  Neat place!
We headed out for dinner there and Niclas's two sisters and one of their boyfriends joined us.   Everyone spoke English so it was great but whenever they couldn't come up with the word they'd speak in Swedish.  As long as people talk with their hands and expressions I can usually figure out the jist of whats being said haha.  One of the guys I met back in London told me everyone in Sweden is very well dressed and good looking....that's very true, everyone looks quite put together.
Everyone was so nice and was lovely to meet them!  We headed for a game of bowling which they were all good at and I'm terrible but it was really fun :)

I decided to change my plans as I was supposed to be heading towards Oslo Norway today but couldn't find any cheap hostels to stay in.  Everything I found was very far away and after adding up bus/ferry fare it just seemed stressful and expensive so a bit of a pricey lesson to learn as I have to just forget that flight I had as Ryan air doesn't refund.  At least it was a cheaper flight.
So I booked a new flight from Stockholm to Edinburgh....YAY on Wednesday I'll be in Scotland!!!  I am sad I'm not going to visit my other two friends in England but might be able to catch them elsewhere or on my way back through in January.
I booked my hostel in Edinburgh and will be there for 3 days before deciding my next move.  I'm trying to decide if I should go to Glasgow as I've been told a few times to skip it as there isn't much to see.  So should I head right from Edinburgh to Ireland....hmmmm?
Anyway I need to go get ready and out in the beautiful sunshine!
Have a wonderful day <3
