Stockholm – Divides Opinion

I’m warming to it; Eileen isn’t.

The one thing we do agree upon is the centre around the station is brutal. You arrive in the middle of this lot and walking means surrounded by flyovers, trains and noise. So top tip would be not to alight in the centre but take one or two stops out in the way your going.

Starting with County Hall. If you’ve collected your Nobel Prize, this is where you have your celebratory dinner – just so you know!

Lovely building – only 99 years old.

and rather a nice terrace

Up the tower (365 steps, thanks for asking) – Eileen decided to give it a miss.

Getting better at using the travel app – but fundamentally Stockholm is complicated to get around. Coming home was impressive – metro, commuter train and bus, and arrived bang on schedule. Perhaps that’s one area where Eileen and I differ – she sees it all as a bit of a pain, whereas I feel some sense of achievement at mastering the transport.

Anyway, off to the islands tomorrow.
