The winter’s wrath spoiled my day in Stockholm
I was in Sweden last weekend and my day there was spoiled by the winter’s wrath. On the day I traveled through an overnight cruise accross the Baltic sea there was a forecast of snowstorm with up to 30+ m/s wind. Due to the urgency of my mission there I was forced to go. While in the middle of the cruise, I was awakened by the tilting here and there of the ship. The 2 cans of beer did not help me have a good rest as I intended to. We arrived at Stockholm safely though at 6:30 AM and I had to wait at the lounge for two hours hoping that the heavy snowfall will stop before proceeding to the Philippine Embassy at the city center but it didn’t. Though I manage to complete my mission, I was not able to roam around as I intended i.e. to visit the places that I have not seen during our last visit with my family in May this year.
It’s almost impossible to move around the city by foot that day as the snow is so thick and much worst if you go with the public transport as you will see nothing from the inside. So what I did was just stayed at the small park accross the palace and took some photos.
