We left Sweden on the night of Monday the 7 th of July. We had booked the cheapest tickets we could find, and those tickets had a long waiting time in London, Heathrow. We landed at 10 or something, and the flight to New York didn’t depart until 10 next morning… Harsh but we thought we could just hang out at a bar or something at the airport all night. Unfortunately, they closed the airport and we had to exit to the arrival hall, where we spent the night, watching some movie on the laptop. We didn’t get much sleep… so I probably wouldn’t do that again, its worth a little more to not have to wait that long.
The good thing was – we were able to sleep well on the next flight. We arrived in New York around 1 pm, grabbed a taxi to Brooklyn and Marks place. Was really exiting to see him and his family. We got a room of our own on the second floor which even had its own bathroom, very nice! On the evening, after having some indian food at the house, all of us had a nice walk in nearby Prospect Park. After that, Mark took us into the city for a couple of beers. After that we had a great night of sleep.
