Hello Everybody!
I got off work this morning and will be heading to Stockhol tomorrow morning. The flight leaves at 7.15am. Which is early, but it was the cheapest flight I could find!
I will be staying at a hostel in Södermalm, which is a place I have stayed at before, and is cheap! I will be in Stockholm until Tuesday, and will get back to work almost immediately!

Cold Last day and going home!

Hello Everybody!
I forgot to write about my last day in Vienna! I woke up at 9am again, after being half a sleep a couple of hours. I chilled on the computer for a bit and decided to head out, to the west of the city, with no specific goal in sight.
I walked along the canal, just enjoying the walk, going to the West train station and headed back east. I decided to head down to the zoo again, and then head back to the hostel.
I then took a nap for a bit, and chilled for a bit, until I went out to grab some food with a roommate, having some schnitzel and some fries, which was good! We decided to go and have some apple strudle, which wasn´t as good as the one I had in Salzburg, but it went down. we headed abck to the hostel, and I decided to pack for the trip home, and she went out for a bit. I took a shower and went to bed about 10pm.
I set the alarm at 6.30am, and when it went off, I packed the rest of my stuff and checked out, I thought I had dropped my card again, which should have been in the room, since I got in the room, I eventually found it in a different pocket than I used to. I checked out and walked to the Mitte Train station, which took about half an hour.
I took the express to the airport and almost went all the way through security, until I realised I missed the area where you could check in the bags. Vienna Airport is confusing!
I found the area and tried to check in my bag, but couldn´t print out the tag, so I talekd to the staff, which told me to wait until Finnair opened up, which was 2 hours before my flight. So I waited about half an hour, and checked in my bag.
I went through security all the way and bought something for the rest of my euros, since I won´t be needing them.
I waited for the flight and it lifted quickly and actually landed ahead of schedule. I went and grabbed some food and had a look around.

A day trip to Salzburg!

Hello Everybody! I had a day in Salzburg today!
I set the alarm at 6.3, but realised I could sleep one hour more, so I set the alarm again, and slept some more. When it rang the second time, I packed some stuff and headed out!
I arrived at the train station about 8.20, and saw that a train to salzburg would leave at 8.30, so I took it. The price for a return ticket costs the same as to Hallstatt, which is expensive.
The train ride went fine, though the conductor checked my ticket twice. I got to Salzburg main station headed to Mirabell gardens to have a look. Which was nice, I then went to the Mozart residence, and saw Trinity Church. I checked out the main square and saw Kollegien Church and a Swedish Candy shop.
I went to the Peterfriedhof, which was a cemetary. I saw a fortress up on a hill, so I decided to go up there, which was a long walk.
It cost about 8 euros to get in, but it was worth it, it has some interesting history and great views over Salzburg. I had a decent look around and decided to head down. I walked around the city for a bit, and decided to have lunch, had some Pasta with some Pesto and an apple strudle, which was good.
I then decided to head back to the train station. I took the 16.08 train back to Vienna, which was late. I then got a seat and the conductor checked the ticket once. When I arrived in Vienna, I realised that I lost my card to the hostel.
So I walked back to the hostel with some anxiety, and when I got back I talked to the hostel, I talked to the reception and they fixed the problem. Phew!
I then headed to the room, and took a shower. I have chilled on the computer ever since!
Salzburg is beautiful and I would definitely get back here some day!

Hello everybody! I took an unexpected long walk today!
I woke up around 8am, which was chill, and chilled a couple of hours. I decided against my better judgement to go for a walk, as I saw some things that might have been interesting on google maps.
I went through the city center and crossed a river, going to Augarten, which looks like a old ww2 fort.

Hello everybody!
The day started by waking up at 9am, which was unusual, as that´s the latest I have been waking up since forever!
I chill on the computer until 11, and decided to head out, even though my legs were hurting from yesterday. I walked down to Teater aksent, and saw that the St Catherine Church along they way to Belvedere Castle.
I arrived at the belvedere castle, which was huge! I walked down and saw the military museum. From there I went to Friedshofpark, which was a cemetary. I then decided to ehad back, walking past a church and the Hero´s monument of the Red Army. Karlskirche was close by, so I walked to that one as well, before getting back to the hostel. Along the way I grabbed some lunch as well.
I chilled the rest of the afternoon, and got out and grabbed som dinner kinda late. I still felt my legs were sore.

A trip to Hallstatt!

Today I took a trip to Hallstatt!
The day started very early, as I woke up in the middle of the night needing to go to the bathroom, and went back to bed an was half asleep untill 7am, as my neighbor snores like crazy.
I went to the train station by 8am and got there at about 8.30. I was aiming for getting the 9.55 train, as it was the cheapest from what I could research into, but when I got there, I noticed that every train cost the same.
So I booked the 8.55 train and about 6pm for the return, which cost about 111euro.
I took the 8.55 train to Attnang Puchheim, and switched trains to Hallstatt, when I was getting closer to Hallstatt, I did see the beautiful surroundings and mountains. I arrived at Hallstatt about 12.45, and needed to take a boat across the lake to get to the town. I walked around and got to a view point which was awesome. I noticed a world heritage viewpoint on google map, and decided to head over there.
It was a 40min walk up hill and with icy roads. I walked past a waterfall on the way.
After a struggle getting up there, it was beautiful! The scenery, the view! It was well worth it!
After taking it all in, I decided to head down the icy road. It went fast compared to getting up, but I managed to fall down a couple of times. which kinda hurt.
I eventually got down, and was hungry, so I grabbed a hot dog by the lake. I then decided to head back to Vienna, and waited for the boat to take us to the train. I left at 16.15 with the boat and 16.32 with the train.
The train went the same way back, via Attnang Puchheim, the train to Vienna was a couple of minutes late, but arrived on time. I then took a walk back to the hostel, and took a shower. and have chilled ever since!
What Will I do tomorrow? I will probably chill, since this has been a long day!

Hello everybody! Today has been a good day!
I went to bed late yeasterday and woke up about 6am, and chilled on the computer and trying to get more sleep, but decided to head out at about 10am.
I headed towards the center of town, walking past a building called Secession. I then walked past The City Opera.
I then walked to the church of St Stephens and then Ankeruhr. i then walked to a river and walked along it until I saw on google map that I was relatively close to the Sigmund Freud museum. So I walked over there, and saw the outside of it. I then headed to WUK, which was a decent looking building.
I then walked down to Vitovkirche and the town house.

Hello Everybody! I have now arrived in VIenna!
The day started at 6am, as I am trying to switch back to a normal day rhythm. I chilled on the computer and packed the rest of my stuff, as I packed most of my stuff yesterday. My brother picked me up just after 10am and drove me to the airport. I checked in and went through security!
I filled my water bottles and waited for the flight.
The flight lifted on time and I went and grabbed something to eat, at burger king. I chilled afterwards and charged my phone. I also walked around and tried to see if anything was for me, and I didn´t find anything.
I went to the gate, and the flight lifted a little late, but arrived on time. I grabbed my bag after waiting for a bit, and went to the train station, and took the express train. It just took 16 minutes.
I then walked to the hostel, which took about half an hour.

Hello everybody! I´m home!
The day started with a bad night, as I couldn´t sleep well. I chilled on the computer until like 8am, and I packed the rest of my stuff and checked out the hostel.
I walked to the central train station and took the train to the airport. Me and a roommate got on the same train.
We hanged around the airport for a bit, as he was getting breakfast, and then went our separate ways. I checked in my bags and went through security. I went to the duty free and bought something for myself. As I was getting on the plane, I saw the roommate again, being on the next gate.
The flight was late for about 15min. But I landed on decent time. When I arrived in Stockholm I got a message from a coworker, who was there as well.
We grabbed a coffee, and talked about our trips. and went through the domestic security. She had an earlier flight than me. My flight was a half an hour late, but my dad was picking me up at the airport. We talked about the new year celebration and stuff.
When i got home, I unpacked my stuff and went next door, with a delivery, and talked about music.
Then i went home and uploaded a video from my time in Amsterdam, which you could see down below!
I have 3 shifts and then I will head to Vienna!

A Very Chill Last Day!

Hello Everybody!
Today I have done very little. I had breakfast at 9am, and chilled in bed for a bit. I then took a walk to see if I missed anything, which I didn´t and then went back to the hostel.
I then chilled for quite a while and went to dinner, had some waffles, which were awesome! I took another walk afterwards, just to get some fresh air.
I then went back again to the hostel, in which I have stayed in everytime I have been in Amsterdam. The localization is amazing, being in centre of town. It is quite expensive though, but it might be worth it, with free breakfast, wifi and great service! It is a party hostel though, so you will probably have some trouble sleeping.
Amsterdam itself is a great town, having a lot to see and do! I did also take a day trip to Amersfoort, which was interesting as well!
This trip also marked my third time celebrating the new years in Amsterdam as well. The amount of fireworks going off was insane, it was so much that the streets was filled with smoke!

I haven´t written in a while!
Yesterday started quite early and had some breakfast. I then chilled for a bit and then headed out west. I went via the Central station to Westerpark and a cemetary. I did see that the circus was in town. I managed to see a cemetary as well, which is always surreal!
I then took the long way back, walking along a river down to the Rijksmuseum and back to the hostel. I bought some cigars along the way as well.
I then chilled in the hostel for a bit and then had some dinner. I then chilled a bit more and then took a shower. I the met up with some guys I met earlier and then we hung out most of new years eve at the bar. I then went to the area around central station and watched a few fireworks.
I then headed back to the bar and chilled some more! I went to bed around 2am.
