Hey everyone.

Does anyone need/want a hotel room? I originally reserved a quad room on Thursday 21, Friday 22 and Sunday 31 but plans have changed and we're getting a double room instead on Thursday 21 and Friday 22. Apparently if I can get people to take the room, they can keep the reservation but just change the name of it. Anyone want?

This is at Scandic. Let me know if anyone wants a night or all nights then give me your name so I can pass it on to the hotel to change the name on the reservation.

I'm going to give it until Friday 15 for anyone to show interest in the pre-booked quad rooms or I'll get them to cancel as knowing me if I leave it too late I'll forget lol. Reminder; its a quad room at Scandic on Thursday 21, Friday 22 and Sunday 31, let me know if you want any or all nights.

Right we have at least one person interested in the quad room for Thursday 21 and Friday 22, possibly two but not confirmed yet. Are there one or two more people who would like to join them and share the quad room? It'll work out really cheap if you do - 260SEK / £24 / €28 per person per night if 4 are sharing! You can contact me on here, on Twitter (@EmmyytheKitty) or on Discord (Kitty#8506) 🙂

I am traveling with my mum and Mum and I are staying at the PM & Vanner. I am thinking about booking a Taxi to get the arena on July 26th on the day when my run is. Which Taxi company is the best in Sweden?

Sam, I would run a double check by a Swede but by my understanding the prices are fixed by the commune or some other political organisation … Thus it wouldn’t matter.

I got proven wrong.

This is NOT the case. Taxis can, I believe, charge what they want so long as they are clear and have their fares displayed both inside and outside of the taxi. The taxi industry is rather deregulated in Sweden and it is easy to pay more than you should if you don't pay attention to the fares.

The information they have to display should look like this:

From my experience the fare prices are quite close to eachother.
The sign John posted is what you can look at to get a rough idea of what 10km of travel should cost (can be more if there's heavy traffic), the higher price is the most you'll pay for 10km of travel.

The first box translates to: from monday 00:00 until friday 16:00

the second box translates to: From Friday 16:00 until sunday 24:00, day before red day (typically saturday) and red day 00-24 (typically sunday).

I can't find that much info on taxis in Växjö but Taxi Kurir seems reasonably priced.

If you want you can always ask when booking, they should be able to give you an estimate.

And yes, the prices do differ from company to company, usually not by a large amount.
