Visby semi-crisis

[frualeydis]

A week ago two of the ferries that go between Stockholm (Nynäshamn, but almost Stockholm) and Visby crashed into each other and one of them isn't functioning. To solve this problem they cancel ferries from Oskarshamn, which is where we travel from, because people from Stockholm are more important than people from the rest of the country and so the ferry which my tent, bed, chest with clothes and other stuff that I need was cancelled. First the people who are towing the trailer actually thought about not going (thanks a lot for that: that would have meant no medieval week for me + cancellation of my lectures, which might have meant that I wouldn't have been asked to lecture anymore, for being such a flake), but after some talking we decided that they should go on Monday and arrive at 6 pm then.
The only problem with that is that I'm arriving already on Sunday evening, so now I need somewhere to stay that night. I also have to bring extra medieval clothes and lecture notes, but that's doable. But I need somewhere to sleep, and someone to pick me up at the airport - and if I'm staying far away from the camp I have to be there at 9 am on Monday morning, because I'm doing guard duty then.
I think it will be solved, but I'd feel much better if I knew.

Idiots, idiots, idiots! (the ferry people, that is - so typical of them to ignore the southmost part of the country)

Can you arrange to stay in someone's tent for that night? I stayed in "communal" tents when I was in Visby in -03, and I assume some group will have larger tents that one more person can squeeze into.

And there are taxis from the airport if you have cash to spare.

But you know all this already, right?

I know I could probably arrange a place in a crash tent, but all my sleeping stuff is in the trailer, which, it turns out won't arrive until 1 am on the night between Monday and Tuesday.
