Stockholm suburbs fairytale

Travelling and Stockholm

Sleep

Just how important is a good night's sleep? Very, very, very, very....important!!! Vital, necessary, compulsory, needed...every single night!!!

Since arriving in Stockholm, I spend my days indoors, in the office early in the morning, in the hotel at night.....The room that I was staying in had the driest air ever and so, so hot!!!.... on top of all this, the bloody window opened into an internal courtyard...so no fresh air again...?!! And I just had to do something about it

At 2am, I was practically going crazy, sweating, no sleep...So I came down to Reception and asked them to put me in a room with a window, for god sake!!!! Yes, I already did ask them the very first night but they said all the rooms in the same category are facing inside...Well, I could not care less...Even if I had to pay for the upgrade myself, I was moving rooms...I had already packed everything, yes, at 2am and was not going back...Even if I had to sleep in the corridor....

So what can they do, facing a mad Bulgarian.....they changed me and helas, bliss!!!!!! Only 5 hours of sleep on the soft (dont start me again) Swedish beds but at least some sleep. I feel I had battled with the dragons all night....Thank God its Friday!!!!

I love you,
liaana

PS: And can you see how frustrated and tired I was when I wrote this...Its now after lunch and I feel so much better...cant wait to go back to my new room, with the window!! yeyyy


















Can you see my hotel? Yes, one of those windows was the infamous one I was talking about, beautiful internal courtyard, but I like my room now much, much better!!!

Due back in Sofia on 16th Feb:)

Jivot i zdrave:)))

Sverige

The Capital is Closed...Long live the Capital...I am finally in Stockholm!!

London - Day Four

This is still London, sunny-ish...St Catharine's Docks, more sites and a very special gate indeed - the back door of Buckingham palace (the one Lizzy uses to get out shopping;-))) Then Faubourg 36, a French movie a l'Institut Francais;-) Et voila, who would have known that the next morning we would be in Winter Wonderland?!!....;-)

Snowdon - Day Five

No buses since 11 o'clock last night

No tube

More than 100 schools and offices closed

All trains delayed

All flights cancelled...all 760 of them!

London is at a standstill


It started snowing last night, this morning at 4am everything is white...Am I going to fly or not? BA's website kindly informs me that my flight is cancelled but I need to get to the airport to re-book my flight.

The streets are dead, luckily Alex is brave enough to drive me to the new Terminal 5. Inside, the queues are enormous...!!! There is no way I am waiting...I manage to find a BA man, going on his break and plead him to help...He gives me a "magic number" - and yes, it works, the lady manages to re-book me on a flight tomorrow at 10.45am

Wish me luck!!!!

Going back, the streets are white and beautiful, I am exhausted from all the yo-yo emotions this morning...I love the snow but not when I am due to travel... Everyone is on the streets, some have never seen snow before...This is the heaviest snowfall in London since 1991.

As Alex's niece told her dad this morning "Daddy, there is so much milk outside"....

Safely back at 7 Ballantrae House, I am typing this, hoping to get some nice sleep...I'll upload the photos later;-)

I love you Snowdon!!?;-)))
