We managed to get some of our bearings last night, and so set off for the centre with a plan. Main station is near the top, Gamla Stan is the touristy bit with the palace and the cathedral, Skepps-holmen has the art museum and then over to the right are the funfairs. So working out a route including metro, walking and ferries is a bit of a challenge, but we managed.

When you win the Nobel prize (for anything) this is where you collect it if you’re interested.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a cathedral when it’s all wrapped up

And that’s one pretty tiring day.
It’s a lot bigger than we thought, and is more challenging to get around than other places. Also, the travel tickets last 75 minutes which is fine until we missed the bus on the way home and nearly had to buy another one because it was running out. But we managed. Lighter duties tomorrow.
