In Stockholm

dormouse1953I'm back in Stockholm for the night before setting off back down to Hamburg tomorrow. I thought I'd investigate the route from my hotel to the nearest underground (T-bann) station as the recommended quickest route takes you over a footbridge I didn't think I'd be able to cross with my head for heights.
I found an alternative route and got to the station and was about to go back to the hotel when I realised it was only 36kr to get to the centre of Stockholm. The taxi here last week cost 197kr (about £20) so I thought I'd go into the centre for the evening. (Sunset is 22:07 tonight and it was only about 19:30.) And having got into the centre, I just had to go and have some Swedish meatballs. Even found the place I had them when I was here back in 2011. I'd forgotten that the place was actually a Swedish-Italian restaurant.
The entry to the T-bann was through a long tunnel, the wall of which had a number of ads, many for the Stockholm transport system itself. At the bottom of the ad, it said, "För mer information ring 08...". That's not written Swedish, that's an Englishman's attempt to write pretend Swedish, and even then they've given up after only two words.
