A pleasent yesterday and a cold day today!

Yep, that's about it. Yesterday, we stood ready at the airport at a quarter past six in the morning. At 7 AM, the flight that was about to take us to UME->ARN took off. I must say, it was probably the longest flight I've ever been on. It took like 1h15m, instead of the usual approx. 50m. We even missed the scheduled airport bus. Anyways. Back to the flight experience. You know sometimes when you're just at the same level as the clouds, it's all blurry, to suddenly get that "clear tree view" when the plane has gone below. Well, it was the same this time. Except, before we entered "cloud level", I thought that the sea of clouds was really beautiful. I can't recall ever having seen such an amazing view of clouds. It was like a huge white ocean. Wild. Really wild. So, slowly we went down. Into the clouds, covering all plane windows with blur, we were not able to see anything(!). Then, suddenly, BUMP, BUMP. The sound of the aircraft hitting the runway under us. We had landed. Oh my gosh. The fog was bizarre. Cabin crew sent out the message that we (for some [not explained; yet explicable] reason) had landed on the international flights runway of Arlanda Airport. They would sent buses to come pick us up, dropping us of at the domestic terminal. Is it necessary for me to mention that we missed the airport bus that we had scheduled? Anyways, no big deal. We had a great time in Uppsala, as our destination for today wasn't the capital. Oh no. Gosh, I have not been in Uppsala since the Reggae Festival a bit more than a year ago. The city is really beautiful, when you look at it through the right dimensions. Later on, we had lunch on Burger King, a pleasent meal. Yummy. The afternoon flight back home was better. We even arrived five minutes ahead of schedule. In the evening, we celebrated a successful day with order pizza. One traditional kebab pizza, and one with fresh tomatoes, Bearnaise, and fillet of beef. We cut them to halves and enjoyed.. Yum!



Today, Wednesday, I woke up looking at the thermometer, slightly shocked. At a quarter past eight and it showed minus degrees. This is the first time I actually see the minus sign in a half-year or so. This was truly going to be one of these really cold days. Brrr. I had breakfast with a cup of strong coffee, and left for the daily routines. I must add, half an hour later the temperature had raised to like +1°.



Laters!
