Let's see....
Wednesday morning I woke up around 5:15 am so I could get in a workout before showering and getting ready to go to the airport. Karin drove me to the train station at 7 am, where I hopped on a bus 10 minutes later that took me straight to the Arlanda Airport. I arrived around 8:10 am to the arrival area, and waited about 30 minutes until Greg walked out. It was SO GOOD to see him! :)
While at the airport, we bought a strip of subway/bus tickets to use while in Stockholm, and then we got on the bus that took us to the city terminal in Stockholm, where we took the subway to Ropsten, and then hopped on a bus to Torvikstorg, and then walked to our hotel.
We were able to check in around 10 am, and able to eat the breakfast provided since they didn't close til 10:30. Once back in the room, Greg slept til about 3, and then we got our stuff and headed back into Stockholm to walk around and eat dinner. We ate at Jenson's Bofhus (Steakhouse). I had a piece of grilled chicken that was like the size of my finger, but it came with an all you can eat salad bar so that was good. Greg got pork chops and a sampler basket... and his meal came with dessert so he got a waffle with ice cream and chocolate and strawberry drizzle called the Queen's Delight... and I got ice cream.
After we ate, we headed back to our hotel room and had an early night since we were both tired.
Yesterday, we had a big breakfast in the hotel so that we could try and hold off until dinner. We headed toward Stockholm around 12:30 pm, walked around a lot and found Old Town. We got hungry around 2, so we bought a tiramisu chocolate square from a little chocolate shop to share and it was SOOO GOOOD! As we were walking, we saw this pizza and pasta restaurant that smelled so good as we passed it, so we kept that place in mind... and by the time we were looking to stop for dinner, it took us about an hour to retrace our steps and find that restaurant, but we found it! It was really neat, because once you get inside, they give you a card, and you go to whichever station you want and order something, swipe your card so that the order is on the card, and then at the very end, take your card to the cashier and pay for it. That way, if you order something, eat it, and are still hungry, you just take that card and order something else. I ordered a big personal pizza and ate every bite, it was delicious. Greg ordered a pasta with crayfish and lobster sauce.
After we ate, we made our way back to the train station to head back to the hotel. Once we were back we relaxed a little, and then walked down to the hotel restaurant and had a drink. We ended up watching a couple movies in the room.
This morning, after I worked out and showered, we went down to eat breakfast. Now we are packing all of our stuff up so we can check out by 12. Then we will go ahead and make our way back to the airport.
Our flight to Rome leaves at 5:30 pm, with a stop at Prague where we have to catch a connected flight. We should be landing in rome around 10 pm... and will somehow have to find a way to our hotel.
Stay tuned for more!
