I am staying in a lovely little cottage on the beach of a tiny island in the middle of Stockholm. Cars cannot get here. (See previous blog) It seemed like it may have been a mistake booking this room.
The ferry runs every few hours and stops by 6pm. That seemed at the very least restricting and concerning. I found that the owners would let me use a small 15 foot wooden oar rowboat to paddle across to the mainland where I could walk 2 kilometers to catch a bus that would get me to the subway.
As soon as I arrived, I jumped on to give it a shot. I was actually interested in trying to catch a concert. I would have been painfully late even had I caught the bus I was chasing. I took the subway to the center of town and got myself acquainted with Stockholm.
It can be challenging finding the right subway line, the right bus, the right stops, and navigate walking through the steets in a foreign city and system for the first time. Try paddling across a channel of the Baltic Sea in high winds in the blackness of night.
Since then I have made the trip twice a day for 3 days and love every bit of it.o
Also, I only have to row 250 meters - but it’s still the Baltic Sea!
