The Sweden Itinerary

Here's the Sweden breakdown!

Tomorrow:  Hop an afternoon train to Lübeck.  Eat dinner with Chris and Marina.  Do random crap, like pose with suggestive statues and sing The Sound of Music while skipping around in circles.

Tomorrow night: Midnight train to the airport.  Camp in the airport until 6 AM, when our flight leaves.

Friday-Sunday:  Arrive in Sweden!  Search for polar bears, make fun of Skandies, and crash at Max's house.  Max is some guy we found on the internet.  Marina wants to date him.  Fingers crossed he's not an axe murderer.  At some point we are hanging out with Magnus, our Swedish friend from when we studied in Konstanz.  Navigate a Swedish supermarket and cook food, because Sweden is horrendously expensive. Drink fifteen dollar cocktails.  Get into general trouble.  Avoid being arrested.  Tame aforementioned polar bear, and figure out how to get him to Germany.  At some point we're supposed to try a food called blåbärspaj.  Bonus points to he who knows how to pronounce that.  Or even what it is.  

Monday:  Last minute madness in Sweden, and then arrive back in Germany at 11 PM. Take a midnight train from the airport to Uelzen.

very, very, very early Tuesday:  Sit in the Uelzen train station for two and a half hours. Try not to get killed doing it.  Arrive back in Celle at 5 AM.  Say hello to the host parents as they get ready for work, and then die.  

It's going to be epic.

Well for your dining pleasure. May I suggest making a wide berth around 'Lutfisk.' Please bring home a jar of Lingonberry jam. Please savor some 'Gravlax' for me.

Have a Great Time!

Blå - blue
Bärs - berry
Paj - pie.
The j is pronounced as i.

For truly unpronounceable try the Danish tongue twister Rødgrød med Fløde
