Sofia and Daddy were meant to be meeting Ronnie and Malcolm this week down in Småland in southern Sweden. We got up early, had breakfast and made our way to the train from Stockholm Central at 9:20.

After 2 hours on the train Ronnie phoned and broke the news that Malcolm has came down with a stomach bug and was being very sick. Instead of putting our whole Christmas travel plans in danger, we got off the train an hour later in Alvesta and bought a ticket for the train back to Stockholm. Just time for a quick pic in the fabulous town of Alvesta (which Sofia slept through totally). We got back to Stockholm at 6pm having spent the whole day on the train! But that was actually kind of fun and Daddy and Sofia got to spend the whole day together with no distractions.

Having been promised a fun packed weekend, Daddy decided to take Sofia to the Butterfly house to make up for it. Sofia is never too interested in the butterflies, much more interested in the fish and the sharks. She does a great impression of both!

On the Sunday we got into the Christmas spirit by going to see the decorations downtown, especially in the NK department store windows.
