In the cactus park of Norrköping: a bed of ball cacti, blue-grey rosettes and flowering succulents in rows

Norrköping - Kista

Cactus park in Norrköping, a hectic drive into the Stockholm area and our last stay at the Scandic Hotel in Kista, with a trial pack in the evening.

In short

After a short night, we stop in Norrköping on the way to our last accommodation near Stockholm and visit the cactus park in the city centre. There is a lot of traffic in the Stockholm area and an accident leaves us stuck in a jam, so we arrive at the Scandic Hotel in Kista later than planned. In the evening we order food to the room and do a trial pack of our suitcases.

After a short night, we are on our way again to our last accommodation near Stockholm. We have breakfast indoors, because our host’s construction workers have arrived outside. We check out soon, as we have a long drive ahead of us. In Norrköping we make a short stop to look at the cactus park in the city centre. It is very beautiful and full of detail, but not quite finished yet.

On the drive we make another stop at a Coop and a Dollarstore. There are a great many people there and the traffic is correspondingly hectic. There is also a lot of traffic when we arrive in the Stockholm area, which makes driving rather hectic, especially as we have set up two navigation systems at the same time, which give us contradictory instructions about where to turn. On top of that we get stuck in a jam because of an accident and arrive at the Scandic Hotel in Kista later than planned. Our room in the hotel is nice and we feel very comfortable. We even have a small kitchen built into the room and can charge the car. After unpacking and resting for a moment, we go to the nearby mall and find ourselves among (too) many people again. We only take a closer look at the restaurants in the mall and then we would rather get back to our hotel quickly, since the impressions and shops are so numerous. Nicolas goes to the hotel gym, Annina has a call. In the evening we order food with Uber Eats to our hotel room once again. Nicolas has Indian and Annina has Thai. Since our time here in Sweden is slowly but surely coming to an end, we do a provisional trial pack after dinner to find out whether everything fits in the suitcases. It does, but only just barely… We feel a bit reassured and can enjoy the rest of the evening watching a series.
