Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm, Sweden

Lovely, quiet day. I’ve caught up with the labeling of all our pictures and we’ve moved from Helsinki back to Stockholm. Don is napping as I write and I’m just resting and generally doing nothing.

We took a tram and a bus to the airport this morning and arrived about an hour before our flight left. The flight was smooth and quick and then we waited for a few minutes until the long term parking bus came and got us. Traveling over here is really very simple and they make things easy because they have such great mass transportation. Now, if they’d just learn how to cook………. J

I’m hoping to do laundry tomorrow. I really don’t HAVE to do it for another 2-3 days but it would be nice to get it out of the way before we hit Oslo. I had originally planned to do it in Oslo but I’d rather spend my time there in sight seeing. We’ll have to see how large the town is that we are in tomorrow. I’m VERY proud that we managed to get over here with only two carry on bags and one large bag. I’m not sure how rwe are going to get back home though since I’ve managed to pick up so much stuff!! The good news is that we are going through books at a fierce pace and we just leave them behind when we are finished, so that will help a little bit. Or, I suppose, we could just wear our HEAVY coats that I had packed to get over here. Of course, we’ll look like a pair of doofuses with winter coats on in September, but……. I think we will be glad that we have them when we get up to Kirkenes. It’s supposed to be quite chilly up there.
