So, slightly fuzzy, we reconvened in teh morning for some breakfast. There were some pretty ropey looking people in teh restaurant, which made me somewhat relieved that we had stopped when we did.
We first off headed to the central station to allow rob and vicky to stash their cases in a luggage locker - it was very james bond... "You may collect the asset from a numbered locker at T-Centralen, Mr Bond"
We wandered down through the commercial district towards Gamla Stan, and the National Museum, which was to be our mornings entertainment, it has a floor dedicated to swedish design, and another floor which is an art gallery and had a pre-raphaelites exhibition on, which was quite popular, and reaosnably interesting.
We left there and headed across the bridge towards the palace, where we were lucky to catch a guard change/ parade which was a nice way to spend a few minutes, even if it did get a bit cold standing around. Eventually we headed back up to the centre, and stopped at palce vicky recommended for some lunch, which was very tasty.
In the afternoon we went and had a little look round NK, the big department store, and then Rob and I retired to the sports bar in the station to watch the Carling Cup final, whilst vicky did some more shopping. Predictably, it went to extra time, which meant R& V had to leave without seeing the end of the game.... I unfortunately didn't , and wasted another half hour of my life watching it.
Finally, at 7:30 I boarded my traing home.... it had been a busy, but thoroughly enjoyable 36 hours away from LInkoping - I'm looking forward to going back with Miche in a couple of weeks.
On the train back, I finished my latest book, Henning Mankell's The Fifth woman. I've read it before, but Miche brought it out to me on my request, as I wanted to read something based in sweden while I was out here. I really enjoy Mankell's books, although I find it hard to visualise the evil inherent in his books, in the day to day life that I see here in sweden.
I started reading another Jeff Abbott book, Trust Me, which Vicky and Rob kindly brought out for me. Thanks guys - its almost unputdownable.
I've got the boss here tomorrow, then heading home on friday, will be nice to be back, having not been home for 4 weeks.
cheers,
AG
