Stockholm Day 2 - Other Disappointed Day
As soon as I reached my seat, my eyelids closed, only opening momentarily throughout the flight. Arriving in Sweden, our journey was not at an end yet. We flew into Skavsta airport, 90 minutes out of Stockholm, and a long coach ride awaited us. We did drive through the most stunning scenery but were unfortunately too tired to really take it all in. Finally arriving at the Colonial Hotel, our home for the next few days was the most blissful thing! Both of us then took well deserved showers and then attempted to meet up with one of the hotel managers of the Abbes hostel group, once we felt slightly more alive.
However, as the instructions were last minute, and we were still disoriented, we were not able to meet, as we had arrived at the very end of the day to the wrong Abbes hostel. This was unfortunate as we were looking forward to at least meeting with one hostel on a day that was otherwise wasted for work appointments.
Exhausted and disappointed, we walked very slowly back to the hostel, stopping for a well needed snack stop, as we realised we had not eaten all day, by this point, and both of us were asleep in the incredibly comfortable beds in our room by 8pm. 11 hours later, and feeling a lot more alive, we surfaced.
