Kalmar; Sunday, 24 July, 2022

Sunday was just going to be a day spent travelling.

After a pleasant, if slightly chaotic breakfast – the hotel managed to run out of plates at one point – I checked out of the hotel and wandered over to the station.

I arrived with nearly 30 minutes to spare before the train was due to depart, but it was already in the platform and able to be boarded so I hopped on and found a comfortable window seat that would be my home for the next 4 hours.

An uneventful journey across the width of Southern Sweden and then up and over the Øresundbron and back into Denmark arriving at Copenhagen airport right on time.

I had about 40 minutes to wait before checkin opened, but then I was able to get through security quickly into the lounge.

The inbound flight had been delayed 20 minutes leaving Heathrow, but the gate team at Copenhagen clearly wanted to clear most of that, so they had everyone in the gate room and ready to board a few minutes after the last inbound passengers had departed. In the end we managed to push back just 5 minutes behind our scheduled time and start our journey back to London.
