As we had boarded the train to Stockholm once most of the lights were out, we quickly got into our bunks and tried to get some sleep. Sharing my bed with my rucksack wasn’t ideal, but getting to the luggage rack in the dark appeared treacherous. When the train pulled into Stockholm at 05:31, I was wide awake. Not knowing whether the train was due to depart soon, I woke Fionnuala, and despite the sleeping passengers around us, we got off.
Lessons learnt from overnight train journey:
1. always know where your headtorch is
2. Keep your washbag at the top of your rucksack
3. Put your earplugs and eye mask in your washbag
4. Find out where the train terminates
5. People on trains like wandering in the night wearing just their underwearpp
Thankfully, Stockholm Central is a really nice station, and Starbucks opened not too long after we arrived. I love caffeine!
