Today was our last day in Sweden. We started the day with another good breakfast, and then we finalized our packing and checked one last time for Bob's Oyster card -- it probably ended up in the trash by mistake. Oh well.
We then walked to Sodermalm, the setting for parts of the Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy. On our way, we saw these locks on one of the bridges. I had read about this somewhere.
We again walked through Gamla Stan, where I took a picture of the restaurant where we had reindeer.
This is another view of the Old Town.
This is a phone booth that had a lot of tourist interest....
And here is the Nobel Museum.
I took this picture because of the "allies" banner.
And here are enjoying some delicious coffee at Stieg Larsson's hangout! The latte was excellent.
And here are the coffees.
We decided to walk to some water that was supposedly nearby -- after about 20 minutes, we gave up -- we'd been walking most of the morning. Not sure what this building was, but it was striking.
Here's some artwork in the subway station -- pretty cool.
And another example of random art.
This was the view from the subway just before we went underground.
Fun. We had lunch near here and took the express train back to the airport. We had an interesting chat with the Englishman seated next to us, who worked for an airplane software firm. We arrived in London at 6:15 but ran into traffic and arrived at 8:00 at our destination -- and we never did see the pregnant Kate!
