We have arrived!



Our international flight was very good. We got to watch some movies and play some games on the screen....(like Sudoku and Solitare and this fun Caveman game) and there was a camera in front of and below the plane so we could see when we took off and then before we got above the clouds, we could the aerial view. We got two different meals and a lot to drink. Then when we got to Sweden, we had 8 hours to do nothing...we decided to stay in the airport because for one, we did not have the right money...apparently they use the Swedish Krona (but do accept Euro) and it was cold and raining outside. Thus, we decided to stay. So we went through all of the stores a time or two and then slept at what we thought was our gate. The weird thing was that they had wooden floors at all of the gates, and no one was there. So we slept in this huge airport (the gate's section) by ourselves. Luckily we woke up at 2:30 to find they had switched our gate...to one about a mile away. So we got there and the flight was good even thought we didnt get to sit by each other. When we got off, we bought our train tickets and got on the wrong train which went right past Leiden and we ended up getting off in Roterdam, which is a good half hour past Leiden. So we got back on the right train and explained to the people who checked our tickets that we were on the wrong one before and luckily they let us stay on. Then we took a taxi to the "office" where we were going to get our keys for our room. Butttttt our director was not there. So we waited and waited and then found a phone to call him and he came about an hour later and gave us our keys and called us a cab to get to our rooms and that was our journey to Leiden. :)
