Gustavsberg

After docking, we headed into Gustavsberg for a bit of a wander and to get some lunch. We decided on Bistro Gustavsberg for lunch, where we had a traditional Swedish meal. Ian had Köttballar (meatballs), Angus had Strömming (fish) and I had Räksmörgås (open shrimp sandwich), and we were all very happy with our selections, which were delicious. The staff were also very friendly and interested in whether we enjoyed their food.

After lunch we went to an Art Gallery, a Delicatessen, a supermarket to buy some fruit, and finally to the Porcelain store where I bought a cup and saucer that was made in the kiln on site. We then headed back to the boat for our return journey. The only negative of the tour was the guide, who was really hard to understand. She mixed up her right and left constantly, gave us incorrect facts, and she just droned on and on and on, on both the outward and return journeys.Read more
