We met for breakfast. The Queen’s Hotel puts on a nice spread of freshly baked bread, home maid cinnamon buns, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, sandwich meats and cheese. Yum!
We sat down in the dining room. One other couple was in the dining room with us and chose the table RIGHT next to us. Why? 37 other wide open tables and they choose the one right on top of us.
My assessment of Stockholm is that it felt safe. It was very clean. People were friendly and welcoming.
We spoke to a guy yesterday that was from Astoria and he was so grateful to America for helping his country. He was almost in tears. He had never been to America and described it as the land of endless opportunity. We take living there for granted.
Even riding the train to the airport. It was quiet, it was clean, people take turns getting on and off. People seem polite. I can’t even imagine what these people would think of an American train station.
At the airport we found a lounging area near our gate. We had a beverage and relaxed until it was time to board. we are supposed to fly in at 12:10 pm.
Our flight was delayed 40 minutes after we boarded the plane. Ugh! How annoying. Travel is hard.
We made it back to Copenhagen and got tickets for the train back to Central station. The hotel was about a 5-10 minute walk from there. No big deal! It was warmer in Copenhagen and we were sweating!
Once we got situated in our rooms, we walked to Hello Pasta (we ate there earlier in the week). We ordered the dessert! I got Teramisu. It was almost like a cheese cake consistency. It was so decadent!
We stopped at a hole in the wall bar on the way back. It was a bar that allowed smoking and it stunk to high heavens. We didn’t stay long. P.U.
We called it a night early so we can start our lengthy journey home tomorrow. We will have enough time to go to the yummy coffee shop down the street! Yay!
I showered in the teeny tiny awful bathroom. The other hotel was way better!
You can almost smell the bar from this picture.
Safe and easy travels home!
