Stockholm to Oslo today by rail

Today we head off on the next leg of this dream holiday and It will be sad leaving behind this beautiful old city of Stockholm, and the  next leg of travel is to Oslo and it will be by train. I don’t think the Swedish can compete with the Swiss or German rail system only time will tell , first I must endure another poor excuse for breakfast. On arrival at central station it’s packed so with one more piece of Princess cake under my belt we head for platform 12a, with an on time departure they begin to wind up this cross country flyer and head for Oslo. Pretty soon you become aware that this is not Swiss or German engineering but it’s okay , for the next 6.00hrs I’ll sit back and enjoy the scenery.  This 125 mph tilt train starts off extremely well reaching its maximum speed in no time, but the further we travel it soon becomes the slow boat to Oslo stopping to let log trains from the north through. Can’t have it all our own way I suppose but to be moving would be great , now over the boarder in Norway and it just got worse . On our arrival we check in and it’s off to the laundromat which was easier said than done, after a fair march around the city we locate the laundry and the work begins. Our time in Oslo will be just 2 days and we need to pack in a fair bit , tomorrow we are flying to a place called Tromsø about 400 is north of the Artic Circle  and have to catch a train at 5.30am to the airport. This will be a very long day but hope to enjoy it ,nothing more to say so see ya...... WADDA
