Get out more
Had one week of summer vacation last week and went to Sweden. There I visited my sister in Stockholm and Sweden Rock Festival in Sölvesborg. My main goal there was to see Alter Bridge perform live and I did. So that's one thing marked as 'done' on my bucketlist. The festival itself was awesome, I can't even speak of Finnish festivals on the same day.
The only thing causing problems was the train strike in Sweden at the time. First of all, 9 hours of waiting all together on 3 different train stations wasn't fun. Especially during the night time and alone. And approximately 6 of those hours there was no possibility to get inside anywhere. Secondly, there was some sort of national day going on so one of the trains was replaced with a bus. Which was fine but it would've been nice to be informed about this before hand. And then there's this strange thing in Sweden that there's no customer service personnel on train stations (at least there wasn't any on stations I had to wait on). During the night time I had this thought of the possibility to change my train ticket to earlier train. But no. I possibly could have changed the ticket in internet IF I would've had access to internet.
But as said, that was a minor setback. I will gladly visit the festival again but probably not with public transportation and maybe with staying overnight possibility at some b&b or motel or something. And what comes to photos from the festival: I'll try to get them out this weekend.
Other than that, I started a new 30 days challenge during that week of summer vacation. The title says it all, get out more. Doesn't matter to me whether I sit on our balcony or walk a bit of extra to a bus stop that isn't the closest one. The idea is just to be outside and get some fresh air.
