Yesterday, 22nd March 2014, my exchange started.
At 7:30 am the ferry left the harbour of Rostock and 6 hours of complete boredom were waiting for me, but in the aftermath I can say, it came completely different.
15 Minutes before the ferry arrived in Trelleborg, I recognised, that my wallets were gone.
Some minutes ago I had changed some money into the Swedish currency, so there were two wallets with different currencies and all my ID´s.
I went to the bathroom, after changing the money, a last time, because there would be another hour by bus and 2 hours by train, but then I saw, that my bag was open. So I ran down the stairs again and saw some guys running upstairs. They were really excited. I knew them from earlier. They had asked me for money before when they were playing games in the casino-area.
When I was looking around, another passenger asked me, if the wallets, the two boys found recently, were mine.
Shock.
She took me by the arm and we were searching on the ship, but without finding them, so we went to the reception, where a security officer helped us.
We found the two boys outside, and our first thought was: *They have thrown everything into the water*...
First thing the girl and I had to do, was identifying the persons. It was difficult, because they answered *We don´t understand English!* in English and were playing very dumb.
The ferry arrived in Trelleborg and the Captain was introduced to everything and he called the Swedish Police. They came after aprox. 30 minutes.
Suddenly one of the boys said, he would get the wallets, if we wouldn´t inform the Police. The Security Officer and the boy went into the ship and came back with... surprise... two female wallets!!
I was so glad, being a complete person again, with all my cards and everything, but most of the money was missing. After a few minutes, right before the Police arrived, they gave back some money, but it was'n all.
When the Police interviewed me, I suddenly realised, how much money I had lost and especially, how lucky I was, to get the most important things back!!... We got off the ferry almost two hours later, so I had to hurry to find my bus to Malmö and then to catch my train to Nässjö!...
When I arrived in Malmö, everything confused me. Somehow I wasn't able to think clear. I walked around the central station three times and didn't find a notification for Nässjö. Then I left the station to get to the tourist office in the other side of the street, which was... closed. Next to it, there was a souvenirshop, which I entered.
The salesman felt so much pity for me - don't ask how I looked like - that I got a coffee for free and then I continued to find a train. Actually I had to look for a train to Stockholm, not Nässjö. That's the reason why I thought there would be no train that day. Fortunately I got a ticket for the last train at 17:11 and I arrived at 19:00, where Jocke and Pontus fetched me.
We drove to their house, where Frida and Frederik were waiting for us with dinner.
All in all it was a very exciting day. Starting with saying goodbye to my loved ones (=/), continuing with some thieves (Ò_Ó) and ending with a lovely family in Sweden (<3). Thanks to all people who helped me and still do!!!
Best regards from the wallets ;))
