    Hej Stockholm

    November 20, 2024 in Finland ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Today began and ended in a way unlike anything that I have experienced before - by snowing!!! Thanks to (another) late check-out, we were able to see a little bit more of Helsinki before our late afternoon flight to Stockholm. We took cover out of the rain and snow at The National Library of Finland, the Helsinki Cathedral, and the Old Market Hall - where it was so cold that I bought a coffee (another first for me)! From there, Alex and I caught the train to Helsinki Airport for our scheduled 4:10pm plane to Stockholm. But! It appeared Finland was not ready to say goodbye to us as a snowstorm caused a delay of over four hours. 😅😅😅 Nonetheless, we have arrived in Sweden - with all ten fingers and all ten toes. Unfortunately, due to the delay, much of Stockholm had already closed for the night by the time we eventually arrived. That said, I’m incredibly excited to discover what the city has to offer in the morning!Read more
