Arrived in Sweden!

At last we left Iceland on a 7:40am flight which meant we all had to wake up at 4am or so. It wasn't too bad but we were starting to get adjusted to Iceland time. The flight was less than 3 hours and we arrived at Arlanda around 12:30pm.

However, I just don't seem to have luck with rental cars here in Sweden. When we arrived the rental place was packed and the ticket machine was broken so we had to stand and wait for 30 mins or so for someone to replace the paper and then people were just rude and didn't take a ticket in the order they arrived. I am just glad we were relatively rested and such so I figured we could wait a bit if people were so impatient.

Oh and of course, I forgot to tell our banks about our travels so every card that I tried set off the fraud alert and blocked the transaction. One of Fredrik's cards worked (the Swedish one) and then we got our car. The nice thing about the rental was I could pick out the exact car that I wanted and it turned out to be a very good choice for us. Much better than last year! :)

Our Volvo V70 stick shift. I love it but it is painful to be in the car with Fredrik driving. It doesn't come natural to him!

On the way to our house we decided to stop at Fredrik's sister's home in Uppsala to say hello and also to eat dinner. It was really nice to see them!

Cattis (Fredrik's sister) and her daughter Vilda.

Davin is super happy to see his cousin Ebbe.

Their backyard where we had some refreshments. We brought summer to Sweden as they have had a very cold and rainy summer up until now. 

Vilda and Patrik (Cattis' husband).

We decided to have pizza at Capri.

All the kids are waiting, and waiting, and waiting for food to arrive!
