A Day Trek in Sweden. (Detailed Catalogue of the Journey)

Set-up:  Friday July 18th, 2025. I had to go to Göteborg from Skövde, to the Migrationsverket immigrations office to renew my permanent residency card and apply for Swedish citizenship. It turned into a full eight and a half hour, stressed and somewhat chaotic day's journey.


I walked out the door, left the house at 9:20 A.M.

9:59 A.M. - the train from Skövde was on schedule, started off with no problems. Skövde to Göteborg is a one and a half hour train ride. So, I was suppose to be in Göteborg at 11:30 A.M.

11:45 A.M. - Floda, (Floda is about 30 minutes from Göteborg). From Floda it was a bus to Göteborg. Stuck in Floda for 35 minutes waiting for the bus. 

12:20 P.M. - bus - Floda till Göteborg.

12:45 P.M. - Göteborg. My appointment at the Migrationsverket was for 1 P.M. It's a 20 minute walk...I did it in 18 minutes, was only 3 minutes late. Total time at the Migrationsverket office - 10 minutes.

1:55 P.M. - bus - Göteborg to Lerum. Another 30-ish minutes.

2:25 P.M. - train - Lerum to Alingsås. Another 30-ish minutes.

3 P.M. - Alingsås - Stuck! Stuck in Alingsås for an hour and a half.

4:35 P.M. - train - Alingsås back to Skövde.

I got back home, walked in the door just before 6 P.M.
