P.S. to yesterday. I had dinner in the hotel café and it was empty, I don’t think anyone eats early here, lol. Anyway, I asked for something Swedish and had meatballs and mash with a lovely sauce and lingonberries and pickled cucumber as sides. It was yummy! Then I met up with 2 local munzee hunters for an hour of chat, then a reasonably early night. I’m getting quite used to falling asleep in daylight!
Awoke again in time for sunrise, sigh, but it was rather obscured by buildings. Downstairs for breakfast at 7 also yummy! Another Australian couple from the ship are staying here as well, so we chatted over breakfast. There is an airport bus that leaves Central Station just a couple of blocks from here., so will probably catch that, much cheaper than the taxi!
I headed out to the pedestrian mall, which I have been told several times, takes men 20 minutes to reach the end and women 6 hours as it’s all shops! It took me about 30 minutes as I munzeed on the way, no shopping, lol.
At the other end in Old Town, there was a Hop-On Hop-Off bus place, so I thought I’d give it a try and also paid for the boat version as well. 2 hours for the bus and an hour for the boat. I did 1.5 of the bus trip and then a couple of the boat trips and then finished off with the bus, getting off a few blocks from my hotel. Couple of interesting sights, a crane painted up as a giraffe and in town there was a building with an entire wall has been turned into a digital advertising space. You could see all the tiny digital blocks driving past.
I did think I was going to be in trouble as it started raining and this was the first day I had left my rain poncho behind (it was 30 degrees yesterday, everyone complaining about the heat). However, it didn’t rain much thankfully, and the boat had a roof if it had been wet then.
Check-out tomorrow and flying to Copenhagen & then Aarhus.
