2026 Stockholm back to Milan

Overview

After a month back home, I'll return to Stockholm to finish the last ~14 days of riding back to Milan.

My flight and first 3 days schedule is 

Sat Aug 29 Fly PDX 3:30pm → KEF 6:15am → ARN   Portland - Keflavík 15:30 - 06:15 +1 day  FI664
layover 1h20m

Sun Aug 30 Fly KEF 7:35am → ARN 12:45 pm    FI306
Arland Express to Stockholm main station, then check in City Backpacker Hostel

Mon Aug 31 sleep in, the pack up and check out late like 11:00am
10min walk to Stockholm main station, take the 13 train towards Norsborg, 29min, 16 stops, Masmo, walk 8 min to MC-Varuhus
pick up the scooter, ride to Kapellskär (168km 3h30m) to board the ferry departing at 9:45pm (boarding 8:45pm)

I looked at island hopping the Åland Islands between Sweden and Finland, but it's too complicated and would add 2 or 3 days and a lot of uncertainty. I'm instead going to stick with an overnight ferry.
