Mum and dad, you'll be surprised to know that I woke up early (7:30am) today all on my own AND I left the hostel ONCE. Don't ask how many time I got on and off the train when farewelling Lina in Vasteras :D

I've spent the last 6 hours walking around Norrebro, Osterbro and the Inner City regions. Saw the Little Mermaid. She sure is small.
