July 14th - transfer day and what a long one.

The overnight was a blast, kids had 4 to a cabin and although small it worked fine as we kept our big bags on the bus and just had our carry on.

We did a team dinner at the buffet and we got our moneys worth as we ate like world champions.  LOL.  Gave the kids a midnight curfew and they had a blast on the ferry, which was like a cruise ship with so many things to do, etc,  But alas they found their Swedish girls, go figure.

When we left Helsinki, I cannot tell you how gutted the local girls were with at least 8 of them there to send us off and 2 of them hysterically crying.  Crazy how our boys had such an affect!

Land in Stockholm harbor around 9:45 am and we have the morning to hang out on the deck and enjoy the scenery, which was awesome.

Approx. 6 hours bus ride with lunch stop on the way and we arrive in Gothenburg at 4:30 pm.  Check into  our great hotel, 4 to a room, and the boys are in heaven.  Light training at Heden, the center of Gothia Cup and then a great dinner. Boys are ready for the cup as we start play in the morning.  Phones are now with me again so hopefully they are turned off, LOL

Wish us luck tomorrow.

Ciao,

Ed
