In the night train, we had a very similar compartment, small but cozy. After being quite tired from the day, we went to bed early, but then the ordeal began. A few stops after ours, 2 (?) ladies (?) moved into the compartment next to us and simply had a lot to talk about. At a certain point, I was sure that they had no more content to convey and just wanted to say words. Keeping quiet was not an option for these ladies. I was sure they would keep me awake for the rest of the night, but I didn't want to be the passive-aggressive neighbor at 10 o'clock and decided to wait until 11:30 to gently knock, after which I fell asleep. Around 12 o'clock, I woke up again and they were still loudly exchanging words, so I took my phone with the intention of reading until they gave up. But then I found Marlene's message that she couldn't sleep because of our neighbors as well. It turned out that she had already knocked once, there was a minute of silence, and then the chatter continued as before. In total, we aggressively knocked two more times as a team. After the third time, they finally understood/accepted it. Bianca slept through all of it without any problem.
Shortly after 6 o'clock, we arrived in Stockholm. It was cold (especially since we had already taken off all our layers) and our plans were uncertain. We wanted to visit the Vasa Museum, which didn't open until 10, as well as the obligatory visit to McDonald's, which didn't open until 8. So we walked towards the museum and settled down at a McDonald's on the way. Our breakfast at 8 was quite hearty.
The museum was surprisingly impressive and just as recommendable as the previous adventure vacation. Okay, let's be honest - the huskies and the winter landscape of Lapland were still a bit cooler.
