Today we sleep in again and then take the train to Stockholm Central, where we buy our breakfast. We stroll to Drottninggatan, the main shopping street, where the first thing we do is eat it. Then we browse through various shops, and Annina buys a few souvenirs. We walk on towards Gamla Stan, the old town, where we eat the Indian food from last night. As we walk to the Royal Palace, it is two o’clock in the afternoon, and by chance we catch the changing of the guard. Later, we visit a few more shops and cross the Skeppsholmsbron bridge, where we see the gilded crown.
When it starts to rain lightly, we take shelter in an Espresso House and afterwards meet Yannis, whose lectures have finished by then. We head to the island of Djurgården, home of the open-air museum Skansen. There we order food (after yesterday’s experience not via Uber Eats but via Wolt, which is much more reliable and has better customer service). We get dumplings, Mexican nachos and quesadillas and enjoy our dinner in the park with a view of the sea. Right after the Wolt order we receive a voucher for another order, so we also get some chips and other junk food. Only after ordering do we realise that the voucher is valid in just one particular shop, the Wolt Shop… This means: We pay the full price but receive another voucher that can be combined with the first one, and later we actually do redeem them in the Wolt Shop. So our food for tomorrow’s journey home is free. We get back to Yannis’s flat by boat (yes, that’s included in the public transport ticket!) and train. There we pack our luggage and go to bed.
