Gamla Stan

Up early after good night sleep. After breakfast we caught a bus and train to Gamla Stan, the old city. Had a coffee and cardamon/cinnamon bun and waited for our walking tour to start. The walking tour was very interesting. The tour finished near the royal palace where the changing of the guard was taking place, the most interesting part of which was the mounted brass band. They played a number of ABBA tunes in a short concert. We finally found a vegan restaurant where we had a fantastic buffet lunch- expensive but worth it.
We then walked across to the south island, the hipster part of Stockholm and where there are some really nice views back to the city.
We were starting to feel tired so found a pub where we sat on the street, had a couple of beers, and Jules did some drawing.
Went home and crashed early.Read more
