I awoke early in Oslo, Norway so I could catch my train. I tried to eat the breakfast at the hostel, but I used up all my Norwegian money yesterday, and they wouldn’t take Euros even though they advertised a Euro price too. Instead, I ate some instant noodles I bought a few days before.
There was a six hour train ride to Stockholm, Sweden. I got kind of spoiled in Norway with all the mountains and waterfalls. Sweden is mostly flat. I checked into a hostel in Stockholm, which was pretty nice. They have free pasta (although you have to cook it), so I had a big plate of that. They have a free sauna one hour per day, which I tried and it was fairly hot. They also have a free wireless with 12Mbit speeds (although it broke the 2nd day). However, it is one of the more expensive hostels at $40 per night. I must have spent at least eight hours planning for the Finland portion of my trip today.
