I am going to continue from the point I left my narration. Helped by the Stockholm Tourist Center (Visiting address: Hamngatan 27, Phone: +46 (0)8-508 28 508 (Tourist information), +46 (0)8-508 28 500 (Operator)) we managed to find one fine, cheap and cosy hotel (and that's why we shouldn't be prejudiced against hotels compared to hostels). Don't expect us to be too lucky, there was one main disadvantage. The hotel Quality Winn was located outside the city so it took us around 30 minutes each time to get back to our base. However, we were exhausted, hungry and we wouldn't allow this small detail to ruin our mood even more.
Although the night went on in a pleasant way, I cannot help but remember that our series of unfortunate events hadn't finished yet! And so, during our return to our hotel we got lost (this happened many times in general) and a taxi driver would have sent us far away from it if one us hadn't remembered the correct track. Let's go on with mentioning the "black spots" of this travel which form the "black monster" that tried to eat our excited mood!! After we lost one of our bank cards and one of us experienced a wasp bite, we wandered around Stockholm looking the answer to the question: "How can someone use the public bikes?". After 5 tiring, walking and asking hours we had the bike cards in our hands (you can make a bike card with the use of your identity card in the Central Station, around 15Euros for 3 days, a very nice experience :) ). Black point: by that time the museums that we were interested in had closed :( (most museums close around 5 o'clock!).
After many enjoyable bike rides around Stockholm (especially in the beautiful area of Skansen) we fought. Actually, our nerves were stretched and everyone found something against the other so we had a terrific fight inside the train. By the next morning everything was solved in our relationships, our bad luck was still dealing with us though.... That was our last day and we were hoping to visit some museums but hadn't noticed that on Monday most museums are closed. Music Museum, Vasa Museum, toys Museum, Science and Technology Museum -> all closed!
Our flight was at 04.00 in the morning, so we had to find a bar or sth to spend our night. A very cute blues bar hosted us and we were excited to listen to live music and afterwards Stockholm's streets proved to be very hostile :P. We couldn't find a satisfying bar and ended up in MAX burger house where I slipped on some shit and one of our friends threw by mistake a couple of tables !!! Our mood was touching perfection and the night was still long.... :P Sleepy as we were (and add to this that I had an aching foot due to narrow shoes) we lost our way to the T-Centralen and after we found it, took the train to the airport and finally got on board, we experienced a shaking-trembling flight.
Aren't you jeallous yet? :D
I really should write lots of post to describe all of our wonderful moments as well but what's the use? What is memorable is what is unique and do not doubt about the uniqueness of such a series of unfortunate events ;)
:) :)
ps: Travelling is the essence of life!!!
