Stockholm day 1

We had a very nice breakfast sitting  by the landing stage over looking the lake  most tranquil. Then decided to hit the mean streets of Stockholm We have a three day ticket for the transport system and this is a great idea.

First we caught a bus to the rail station or TBana the busses run  very strictly to a time table and they actually arrive with they are supposed to. The trains are clean and efficient and also run to time.

When we got off at Gamala we found a really nice cafe for a coffee and a cake after a short wander around the  older quarter of the city.   We then took the Ferry to the open air museum at Skansk on what was the kings hunting island . There was an open air market  in the grounds with a eighteen century feel and we had some very  filling fried pancake for lunch. I am not a great fan of Zoos but  we walked around the zoo section and saw bears and wolverines as well as a few wolves otters seals  wild boar and other  animals.

We went for a walk around Stockholm to get back to the  Tbana

We were still pretty full after the  fried pancake, but we managed to pop into the Co op by the T bana and  stocked up with a few items of constables a couple of can of beer  some french cheese bread and a couple of cakes . We got back to our air B and B and had a bit of a snack then, exhausted went to bed.
