Kiruna train station at 4.50pm, and I am waiting for the train that would never come.
The only evening train connecting Kiruna with Stockholm, it was supposed to arrive at Stockholm airport the next morning, and I would then hop on the plane back to the the U.S. via Amsterdam. After waiting at the train station until 1:00am, the Swedish train company SJ arranges a hotel stay for the waiting passengers. At 6.30am we are all catching a morning train to Lulea, then 4 of us with connecting flights are rushed by cab to Lulea airport, and put on a SAS flight to Stockholm. No cost to us, and we all miraculously make our original flights by the skin of our teeth. Go Sweden, and thank you! But wait, this is the end of the travels to frozen wonderland, so let me rewind, stay tuned for more of Sweden in the coming days.
