Coming to Linkoping by train

Got down at Arlanda air port in Stockholm , well that is my first footstep in Sweden , the temparature was around 6-8 degrees which was managable in a overcoat. Didn't take that while in the emmigration counters as well so we had around 2 hourse until we take the train to go to Linkoping , managed to exchange the travelers cheques and it didn't also took that much time. I guess you can call that the perfect landing but the problem was we planned for a imperfect landing. So spent some time in the Arlanda railway station taking photographs and stuff.
We came to the Stockholm station around 9.45 via the Arlanda Express and found the train to go to Linkoping. It was an 1.5 hour journey and the scenery was magnificent.One thing you realize is that Swedes love nature , almost everywhere you can see trees and the houses built in woods look very adorable. There are lakes everywhere and combined with different colored trees they make awesome viewing. We were riding first class so there were some refreshments along the way, I very much liked the biscuits they served there :)
