Lots of bike paths in Stockholm, and even free public air pump stations.
Also, check out this machinery that followed the horse parade (from the changing of the guard ceremony at the palace – part bulldozer, part street cleaner with a rotating brush.
Although it didn’t do a great job of cleaning I must say
Late lunch today
Sticker shock – this entree, a quiche entree, one cooler and one cappuccino: $50! Admittedly it came with some very tasty dark bread.
After that, we decided not to go in the new ABBA museum ($30 pp)
Very interesting museum of a restored 17th Century warship that sank after 1km on its maiden voyage. Not wide enough for it’s height so it wasn’t stable.
Scale model, inc 150 statues:
The real deal:
And I like the realistic look of shock on the figurines in this diorama (the guy on the right couldn’t bear to watch the sinking)
Susan and my local friend Simon
Our hotel is across the water in the background.
Same cafe as above, at the south end of Gamla Stan
Big thanks to Simon for showing us around tonight.
View of picturesque Gamla Stan (old town) from our room:

The blue train is a T-bana (metro) train that goes underground across the water.
Yummy… Salmon roll app
Sea bass main
Cheese trio dessert
And breakfast 3 or 4 hours later…
And yes, Baileys in the coffee!
Aboard in Lufthansa biz class on our way to ARN (Stockholm Arlanda) via DUS.
Almost lie flat seats for the overnight flight.
Inside the armrest is a little reading glasses holder (not that we have any) and a massage button. Next to headrest is an LED reading light.
Will be blogging with photos…
Who installed this in an EWR bathroom?
No, the photo is not upside down
Not sure why the “soup spoon” is a tiny plastic teaspoon (alongside metal knife and fork). Received a metal teaspoon upon asking, a little better. Ah, first world problems 😉
And I won’t be eating that bread, going gluten free. More on that later.
