Southbound

Today, Anna and I are on our way down to Malmö with SAS. With the first flight being operated by the Estonian carrier XFly, I was again impressed by the effort that the cabin crew has put into learning Scandinavian languages. Unfortunately, we missed our connection so we ended up spending the whole day at Arlanda Airport which at least had the upside of being able to visit Pontus for one last time at the expense of American Express delayed-flight-insurance.

While we are on the road, Sweden is going to the polls in another history-defining election. Like back in 2018, the race is extremely tight with a very real risk that the far-right Sweden Democrats will get the influence that they have sought for so long. Both Anna and I voted weeks ago when the polls first opened so all we can do now is to wait for the results. Most likely, both sides will struggle to form a government and it may take, if not 134 days like in 2018, so at least quite some time until we know how it all ends.
