Wasnt really sure what to get up to today. I didnt have much time in Kalmar with the train schedule. Got a nice quiet and chill breakfast then walked through the town as I went to check on the train station. It was completely empty, kinda eerie but also cool to just see a smaller toned down part of the country. Walked back along the water and went in to pack up so I could catch a train at 10:30. Had enough time to explore the castle too, which is apparently one of the top preserved Renaissance castles. Interior wasnt open, but the grounds were and I just was able to walk right in and wander around. Pretty cool. Really really glad I made the stop off to Kalmar to break the trip up and chill out a little. Train ride to Stockholm was really cool, commuter train through the country side. Took a long time and we just made it to Linkoping for a transfer to the high speed. Started raining at that point and I couldn't see much. Arrival in Stockholm was a shock. Much bigger than Copenhagen, it was a Saturday afternoon raining and the frickin half marathon was going on right through the middle of the city! Caught me off guard and I had to figure out the hard way how to walk up to my hotel. By time I got to hotel I was pretty tired. Took a breather then went to the closest recommended restaurant near me, which apparently as a Michelin level that had a line out the door. Some how I got a seat but it was expensive and tasty so I took my time to enjoy it. Walked about 3.9 today.
