Stockholm is glorious right now and that does make it a lot easier to be home again.
It’s 8.30 on Sunday evening and I just put my pajamas on. I was in a bit of a funk all day and I could not figure out why. So I went out for a long walk in the sunshine and spent some time on the couch watching travel shows. Funnily enough, it took me all day to realize the obvious: I’m tired.
Directly after arriving home from Australia, I’ve had meetings and plans every night. We traveled around 17,000 kilometers to get from Sydney to Singapore, then on to London and finally home to Stockholm. In Queensland, we drove 6,500 kilometers around the outback and north coast. To put that number in perspective, the flying distance between Stockholm and New York is 6,292 kilometers. The longest we stayed in one place was for four nights. I packed and unpacked my suitcase countless times during our four weeks on the road and by the end of the trip, didn’t even bother to dig down to the bottom.
It’s always hard for me to switch back to everyday life after a long trip. We had an amazing holiday and a wonderful time. But right now, I have to say that it’s good to be home.
