The sun sets as my train arrives

I love the globes hanging between the Cental Station and the Arlanda Bus terminal in Stockholm.

Decorations in one of the hallways at Arlanda Airport

The same hallways as above

I brought my laptop and pad to kill some time while waiting for departure.

As my first flight was leaving very early I spent the night at the airport.

Katrineholm to Arlanda airport - an adventure in itself

I had tickets for a train in the afternoon. As usual I took an earlier bus downtown. As usual I had my little camera in the pocket and took some photos of the, still up, Christmas decorations. In the tunnel I checked up the timetable of the trains. Crap, my train was cancelled! What am I supposed to do now? The ticket office was still open so I went there. The woman told me there had been an incident with  smoke detected in a train. And that effected the entire region. Lots of trains cancelled or very late.

In a way I was lucky being early to the station. An earlier train, that was 1,5h late, was arriving a bit later so I could jump on that one. A tall man helped me with my suitcase. It turned out he was from Syria and could not speak English. But he was accompanied by a Somalian man who helped him out. The three of us communicated with hands and feet :)  That went well.

When I arrived to the station in Södertälje where my daughter lives the escalator was out of order. I went for the lift and found it all dead! Back at the escalator I had to carry the luggage down 2 floors. Not fun, but in the end it turned out I got to my daughter 15 min ahead of schedule. Despite everything. So I could spend the evening with her and her husband to be.

In the morning she drew me to Arlanda where I met the rest of the group that would start the trip from there.

On the highway through Stockholm I spotted a beautiful sun halo and managed to get some shots through the car window. 

And also a shot of the beautiful skyscraper north of Stockholm. Victoria Tower, the highest building in Stockholm. 

It is really great to be a passenger, take a look! I could even talk to my granddaughter that is studying in Honolulu.

Sunday 130811

I was about to write a summary of the weeks in Honolulu. But then I realised I had a quite interesting day taking train and buses to Arlanda airport. So here is my first day of the journey.

Already at the bust stop I met with two Muslim sisters. One of them had a blue scarf and her makeup was toned to it. At the train station she was left alone and we started to talk. She lived in Stockholm and was about to go home. I asked if I could take her picture and was allowed to do so.

There was a group of people also waiting for the train. They seemed to be from a theater about to put on a show.

At the Central station in Stockholm I had to wait for about an hour and I spent it taking shots. What else was there to do??  Thinking of Birgitta's "Street Photography by woman", on Face Book,  I took a few shots while I waited.

Heading for the bus for the last transport I had to go upstairs in an escalator. While standing in it I had a chance to look around. And what I saw made me go back down for another photo session. As I  

had about 15 min I had time for that.

 

 

Outside it was raining. A lot! Not many people that was on the bus so I took the front seat. It took some 45 min to go to Arlanda so I had time to take some shots from the bus as well. :)

And then it was as late as it could be so I took a nap on a couch.

121125 Morocco Day 16 Sunday, first train back home

Stockholm Arn 24.00 / 0.00 landed on time.

Spending the night at a sofa on Arlanda. Not very comfortable but why pay for a hotel to, maybe, sleep 2 hours.
 

Train Arlanda C                  06.13 – Stockholm C  06.37

Train Stockholm C             08.10 – Katrineholm   09.04

Well in good time before the train should leave i went down to what I thought was my station. But after waiting a while a man came and asked me why I did not enter the train that was waiting. I said it was not the right one for my ticket. Turned out that I was on the wrong station. There are two. One for the old connections and a new one for fast speeding trains. And this was the wrong one.

 

 

 

I was glad he came to talk to me so I could change.

 

I still had time to spare. Well, I got to Stockholm and had to spend an hour in that waiting hall as well before the train to my town left. I took a cab and I was home around 10 in the morning. Tired, had some breakfast and then went to sleep.

The shoes next trip is to the bin. The lens have to wait until I can get a new one.






Thanks everyone that has followed me on the trip to Morocco. Hope you enjoyed it.
