Abba ,here I come

Finally checked out of my Helsinki room and went straight to the airport....to the Global blue counter to reclaim my tax on my Samsonite purchase...but ,apparently I cant claim it till I am leaving the EU,so il have to do it in Stockholm
This is a nuisance as I intended to put ths stuff from my backpack into the new backpack but now have the problem of too much carry on luggage. My wheeled bag ended up being checked in
The security queue was like nothing I had ever experienced! Join the 8 lane queue which actually starts with you going away from the security channel to come back and filter in a 2 lane queue in the right direction..manic !
One FUN fact about this trip ,is that ,due to the time difference between Finland and Sweden I will ARRIVE in Sweden at the same time as LEFT Finland.
Arriving at Stockholm i collected my bag ,got the Arlanda express train to town ...a real suprise ,workstations on the train with red lamps .Further suprise was the grey cord carpet on the platform
I went to the nearest restaurant as id not eaten all day .The food was lovely, they offered extra bread and whilst I didn't eat it I hid it in my hoody pockets ...for tomorrow!🤣
Settled into my next Strawberry hotel and may seek out that free brew !Read more
