Thursday 5th of January - Stockholm

Today we woke up early to get to our flight to Stockholm at 11am. Margrét let us in on the secret knowledge that the express train to the airport had a student ticket (50% off!!) so we went down to Oslo station on the tram to get the train to the airport! It was super fast.

The flight to Stockholmwas uneventful but we were both a bit sad to say goodbye to our superfriends in Oslo. Once we got to Stockholm we took a similar airport express train to central and then a metro to Fridhemsplan to our hotel, the exotic and mysterious Fridhemsplan STF (hostel). Luckily we had a very nice room, I've stayed there on other occasions and seem to get rooms with a view of a wall or something equally boring, but this room on the 5th floor faced the main street in this part of town (S:t Ericksgatan).

After a brief rest, we took the metro up the street to meet Hanna at my favourite Café in Stockholm, Kura, which is run by some well-spoken and stylish New Zealanders.

It was really good to see Hanna again and we caught up over excellent long-blacks and the "super salad" with wild rice and vegetables that Kura makes.

After food we decided to do some shopping in central Stockholm so we walked up Torsgatan. We went to a few (shoe) shops but Christina was getting really tired to so we walked back to the hotel to watch some shows and had a quiet evening in!
