Up at 6:30am, last Irish fry by 8am, and off to return the car and head to the airport. We arrived on SAS in Stockholm at 4:30pm and were on our way with luggage and a NEW VOVLO to start our two week adventure in Sweden. It's about 72 here, warm and clear.
Diane and I survived our drive from Arlanda Airport to the island of Skeppsholmen, one of the many, many islands that make up Stockholm. You might not be aware that water is a huge part of Stockholm. We went over two bridges, and through 2 underwater tunnels to reach our hotel. The hotel is absolutely awesome - Swedish modern to the max. Frosted glass sliding doors in the bath, a shower that rains water on you from a flat, tinted ceiling fixture, and a sink that has a rock in the center of it so that the water from washing your hands cascades like a waterfall off the sink stone. Very zen. Right out the door, there are rows of tables set with linen, candles, crystal, and filled with Swedes who can't miss a single minute of the sun and warm weather. The bad news was the cost of dinner tonight - $98 for a very simple meal. Ouch. Tomorrow we're off to the grocery to buy thing for our own lunch and dinner.
