Travel: Stockholm, Sweden

Dates: 9 June - 12 June 
AccommodationSTF Af Chapman & Skeppsholmen Vandrarhem (tbh wouldn't recommend - it's overpriced for the facilities you get, I stayed in a mixed 16-dorm bedroom. I would go for an AirBnB next time!) 

The easiest way to get to Stockholm is via train: you can catch a direct train from Lund C to Centralen Stockholm, which takes roughly 4 hours. The best way of purchasing tickets is through SJ - they also have an app similar to Skanetrafiken which gives you your travel details like carriage and seat number.  

I made it!
