Day 1: Barcelona - Skavsta Airport - Stockholm
Our day begins as they usually begin every Thursday, with the sound of the alarm clock, a coffee that wakes us up and a brief farewell which takes us each to an office, separated only by the meters of a corridor. But today there is something different and it is that the mid-morning break we use it to carry out our hand luggage and print the flights that, thanks to an offer of Best Flight that this afternoon will take us to Swedish lands and is that this afternoon-night, we will be moving from Skavsta airport to Stockholm.
At 2 pm we close the computers and after eating a quick menu in one of our usual restaurants in Lloret de Mar, we take the car to Barcelona airport.
So we say goodbye to Lloret, with a view of a "lonely" beach
It's 6 in the afternoon when we arrive at Terminal 2, from where our Ryanair flight to Skavsta departs and is already waiting for us Park & Go to pick up our car in the same terminal, since we have booked with them the premium service with which they come to pick us up and return the car to us in the same terminal, something great if you go with just the right time, as we usually do on these trips for free that we do long weekend.

We look at the panels and the flight leaves on time, so we go straight to the boarding gates, where we spend time reviewing the preparations for the trip to Stockholm.

After 3 hours and a quarter of flight, we spent enjoying a spectacular sky, we arrived at Stockholm Skavsta, the airport where Ryanair operates and that is 100 kilometers from the city.

The lockers of Flygbussarna They are at the exit of the airport, in the luggage collection room you have a machine but we find it sealed. The price of Bus from Skavsta Airport to Stockholm It is 285 crowns per person the round trip ticket, which is the one that we buy, paying by card, without additional charges and after putting on the jacket, why often change time, we leave the airport and we just have to cross the street and just in front we have the bus stops, where in less than 10 minutes we are accommodated and willing to spend the next hour and a quarter, by the way, with free wifi, to reach our hotel in Stockholm, the Comfort Stockholm Hotel, which is right next to the train station, so it works great for both location and price.
It is 1 in the morning when we arrive at CityTerminalen and directly connect the City2Maps to locate the hotel and thus not waste much time.
Luckily the hotel less than 50 meters and luckily we chose it that way, if not at this time and with the cold weather, it would have given us something if we have to move.

It's almost 2 in the morning when we get into bed, just thinking of one thing, the days ahead of us to get to know Stockholm.
