Day 4: On a boat!

I found out yesterday that today we would get on a mini cruise and go to Helsinki. Shows you how well I pay attention!

i woke up still not feeling well so I asked the Director if he could help me find a doctor. After some sight seeing this morning, he walked me to their version of Urgent Care. Except they didn’t have availability until 3pm. I had to be at our meeting spot at 4pm to board the boat. So I didn’t see a doctor. Instead I went to a pharmacy and asked the pharmacist to recommend some string meds. They don’t have them!! Apparently yo even get a decongestant you need a prescription. No Mucinex, or Theraflu. She recommended a nose spray and an anti inflammatory. So I bought those and I think they’re working because by the end of today I began to feel better and my nose stopped running. I’m now coughing but hopefully this will go through my body and leave my system. The people in my tour group have been so sweet, asking how I’m feeling and checking up on me.

We boarded the boat at 4, and departed Stockholm at 4:45pm. It was a beautiful sight to leave the city and see all the islands around. The boat is truly like a mini cruise ship with entertainment and lots of shopping. What did I do? I walked around a little and bought water. I went to my room at 7 and slept. Now I’m up for a bit to eat a banana and take meds. Hopefully I will continue to feel better tomorrow. Back to sleep for me. G’night!
