Park Inn Solna

... and English, but I didn't hear a single word of English except in a couple of the songs from some local youth musicians. The only person speaking it was QBoy, a gay rapper based in London who's performing at EuroPride a couple times and showing a documentary he helped make on bullying in schools. Needless to say, I felt a little isolated and tried chatting with some other people who seemed to be there on their own. I did spot a cute guy and ...

... to a large ice cream. The second crisis emerged when I tried to light my Trangia with the wrong fuel. Thankfully the Danish couple came to my rescue, lnt me some meths and i was able to heat up a fine spaghetti carbonara, can of beer and crawl into my tiny tent before the rain set in again... The next day I took the ferry to Flardling...an island of complete contrast to Uto with only one basic store selling water, enormous bags of crisps - enough for a week ...

... read it right....ICE...and I mean everything! The chairs, the bar counter, even the glasses!! It was all ice! This place was very cool and hip and we can totally see Matt loving this joint! =) Our last day in Stockholm, we decided to take it easy and stroll the city. We found some really neat local hang out spots and saw the locals coming off work and hanging out at all the outside bars ...

... at a pizzeria and then walked the town and found some incredible look out points. Kyle and I watched the sun set over the town and reflected in the silvery waters. Ships came into harbor, and one tourist attraction, a replica of a magnificent sailboat sounded several cannons which echoed against the city's storefronts and cafes. Kyle rubbed my aching feet as we settled into a park bench to watch the view. With a darkening sky above us, we walked back to the hotel for a ...

... Along the inner harbor in Stockholm there are several boats parked along the seawall that are permanently moored. Our hostel was an old cruise liner that has been converted. The Rygerfjord is about 150 ft long and has three decks that can sleep about 30-50 people. It's nice for a change, but I felt a little strange sleeping on a boat again, even if it is parked, the beds are small and space is tight. I'm not complaining, our room was still nicer than anything I've EVER ...

... to get on the train, that we had reserved seats for by the way, we realized that Blairs ticket was actually for the night trian, so she got to do a deja vu of the way over with Krisitn and Britt Inga, since they got tickets, but not reserved seats... Fun time! So we finally make it back to Oslo and we were 30 minutes late... had we been on time, we would not of had to run from one platform to the other side of the station, to realize the train we were supposed ...

... her house which is everything i expected it to be abd more. It looks as if it has been taken from an IKEA store and we have a nap to reduce bags under our eyes and pains in our head! After this we decide to go for a walk around the parks and maybe have swim in some lake or something. we head down to the park and becomes apparentt that she is not enjoying the banter to much and perhaps could be an anti banter for example she said no nakedness and frowned upon ...

... her but was too late. Her death was imminent. In a very dramatic (of course!) scene set in a dark alley, Alfredo and Violetta had to say goodbye as the doctor pronounced that he could not do anything for her. The opera ends with her dead on the streets and Alfredo's father dragging him from the scene. Pretty entertaining stuff. There I met two Germans from Hamburg--Lina and Andreas. We had a nice conversation over the ...

... decided to celebrate being on the trip by buying a small bottle of Champagne to toast our adventure with. We headed back up to the departures area which was still dead and jumped on the Internet to let everyone know the latest. After that some food was in order so i got a salami, Brie and salad baguette and a weird coffee coconut thing and a Tuborg beer. Tom had a bag of crisps and an apple. The time eventually passed and we boarded our flight to Moscow. Brace yourselves kids ................

... pero esto era bastante desagradable...aparte que segun el chino, yo no estaba en la lista de reservaciones, mmm....no fue muy comprensivo que digamos, pero bueno al final tuve que ir a internet a reimprimir mi hoja con mi reservacion....el problema es que antes de llegar uno dice una hora esperada para el check inn, y como se atrasi el vuelo fue un desastre, aunque es el primer hostel que he visto en que hay que ...
