What a beautiful day we had in the sky; me Camilla and Eric.
We met up at Brommaplan, bus-station west of Stockholm, grabbed a coffee at McDonalds and sat down on the bus that was to take us to the airport. A feeling of adventure and spontaneity run through my body. A feeling that usually are connected with back-packing, you know the feeling of that you are just here in this moment and you don’t really know how you ended up here or what to expect out of it. You just enjoy it.
We stepped of at the end- station, trying to figure the map out that we had printed out form Internet. Hrmmpff the main building were not on and we felt a bit disorientated, but there were an information- desk, there always are. “ Go through the small gate” and then out on the sidewalk towards Solvalla, then you turn left and walk straight out … OK we’ll do. And we started walking, found a small gate that were held open by a broom, went through it turned left and found us standing on the starting-point at the map. By now we had walked around half of Bromma Airport.
We could just laugh, this map is made for people who arrives with car or taxi not by local communications, like us. Following the map we reached our destination Hangar 4. I felt like I were on to something that I haven´t felt for a long time. A feeling of adventure and freedom and maybe even love.
At 11.00 we went out to the plane, stepped into life-vests and got a security lesson. Then we took off.
Why do we only feel that curiosity and childish expectations for what to come, when abroad, the feeling of total presence in whatever it brings about. A calmness in mind and body for in that everything is to be as it is and nothing more or less. That it is so. Why do we leave this feeling when we arrive at Arlanda? ! Maybe you didn’t and good for you, keep it, and if you like me did. Find a way to re-capture it and make every day in you life into an adventure.
