midnight bus from Stockholm to Gothenburg

I'm now on the midnight bus from Stockholm back to Gothenburg, which includes a change somewhere in between, so the entire journey will take around 7h :( And this happened because we initially planned to buy last-minute train tickets because we thought it would be cheaper but no! It was even more exorbitant for some reason. So for this trip, there are a few critical things that we learnt, which are as follows:


1. Never count on SJ (Swedish Rail) last minute train tickets - Initially we thought that to pay around 300-400SEK was too pricey so we decided to buy last-minute (within 24hours) tickets which are usually cheaper, but to find out that the prices had risen to 900SEK! Madness! So the only other way is to take this midnight bus back home :(

2. If you're in any Sweden airport, just get the Flybussarna airport bus to the city center and not some WizzAir bus because the WizzAir bus is actually under another bus company which we didn't know so we missed the bus and were nearly stranded at the airport for 2h (luckily the bus company was kind enough to dispatch another bus just for the 6 of us who missed the bus), and Flybuss coaches are always reliable.


The thought of going back to doing the essay feels me dread, but at least I'll be in the comfort of my own place again. The hostel we stayed in Krakow was horrid :/ Will elaborate more another time; shall attempt to go to sleep now.
