Day 13, 30th June 2019 – Stockholm, Sweden

Well, back on dry land again! Once again not much of a sunrise, but I’ll have to find out why I could see the sunset last night and the sunrise this morning both from my balcony! Final breakfast and then to the packing. The ship moved to its embarkation pier and I trundled my case once again from one end of the ship to the other. Not easy on carpet, give me a nice pavement (but not cobblestones) anytime. I retrieved my power-board from security (not allowed to use them on the ship) and off the gangplank for the last time. There were already queues waiting to get on and we had only just started getting off!!

Found the taxi queue and had a quick drive in to Stockholm and the hotel. Very nice that it was a Sunday morning almost no traffic on the roads that time of day. Mind you is was still $66 and it is at least a 40 minute trip to the airport on Tuesday, so going to be way more!

As it was only just after 9, I left my bags with the hotel and then started walking. I needed 10 special munzees for the clan requirements that I hadn’t been able to get before I left. I had taken a picture of the route I was taking and made sure someone in the hotel knew where I was going!

4+ hours & 10 km later I got back to the hotel, mission accomplished and a few others found as well, lol. It was a great morning as there was very little traffic and no people, all sleeping in, lol. It was much busier after around 11. During the walk I met one of the local players and he and another are meeting me at the hotel this evening. Checked in and not sure if there’s something going on, but my room in the Scandic in Copenhagen was 226 of 230 so nearly at the end of building, this time I am at the end of the building on the top floor, miles of corridors, LOL. Will be interesting to see where I get at the Scandic in Aarhus.

Had a rest, showered, now blog writing and once all sorted am going to go down and have an early dinner of something Swedish I hope.
