Scandinavia! Stockholm Sweden Day 8

A day totally unstructured, no tour guide, no bikes, no meeting times....seems odd after more than 4 weeks of planned days. Of course, now we are done biking, the sun comes out and the winds die down. Isn't that the way it always goes....oh well. We were able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. The four of us set out to boost the Swedish economy by leaving lots of USD, ... we went shopping. But first, a stop at the ABBA museum. Who knew there would be a museum?!? It was pretty cool. Learned lots about the group, the 4 individuals and the movies. Lots of artifacts and costumes. Very fun! Then off to shop for bike jerseys. Swear they size them for Lilliputians. Mark is snug in a men's 2x. Nice shop. Then we ventured into the metro subway system in search of the Hard Rock. Found it! Lunch and our obligatory T-shirt & pin. Back into the metro to the Old Town Gamla Stan. Shining objects in a store window caught out attention and a few USDs. Then we kinda took the scenic route to find the ferry stop to get back to our hotel. Made it! Last happy hour with the whole group and 8 of us set out for dinner. Found a burger joint. Here we are from the USA and eating burgers and fries... sure was tasty. Tomorrow we set sail on a ferry to Helsinki Finland. Goodbye Sweden.
