Travel day to Sweden

Travel from Tromsø to Stockholm consisted of 26 hours of buses and trains! We had a 5am wake up to catch our first bus at 6:20am. It was dark and cold walking through the streets of Tromsø but we made it onto our coach. It was a 4 hour bus and we slept and observed the scenery which was literally a winter wonderland outside - snowing and fully white. It was beautiful. We got to Narvik which is another town in Northern Norway. It was a cute town but nothing really happening and we gathered just a lot of retired people lived there so we just sat inside a shopping centre food court for a few hours and then made our way to the train station, lugging our suitcases through the town. We then had another bus which was 1.5 hours where we crossed the border into Sweden into a ski village called Abisko (again another winter wonderland and even frozen lakes!). From there we got onto our train which was a 5 hour train ride to Boden (another Swedish town) and by the end of it we were tired, feeling gross and also a bit sick. We then hopped off and transferred into our sleeper train which was cool. It was so tiny but had beds so we could sleep. It was a good experience. We finally made it into Stockholm the next day at about 10am. We were both feeling gross and pretty exhausted so immediately got into our accommodation, showered, visited a burger place called Krubb which was so so delicious and then just rested for the remainder of the day, made a healthy vegetarian curry for dinner and went to bed early to recover.Read more
