My train back to Stockholm was at 12 and I’d promised a friend I’d take a photo of the Hasselblad HQ for him, so I got up really early to catch the ferry there and took a quick walk around Haga on my way.
I don’t know why but many of my favourite bands are Scandinavian, and Swedish in particular. Kent’s farewell tour was the catalyst that finally sent me to Sweden and Tiger Lou’s resurrection tour was the cherry on top; I spent my last night in Sweden at their show in Gothenburg – it was truly special and I’m so glad I could be there.
A relatively last minute addition to my itinerary was visiting Gothenburg. It was, once again, a ‘stars aligning’ kind of thing where Tiger Lou, another of my favourite bands, happened to be playing and my accommodation was flexible enough to let me head to the west coast and back in time for my plane home. So on Friday morning I left Stockholm early and took the train to the other side of Sweden and had one of the longest and most enjoyable days of my whole trip.
I spent my fourth day in Stockholm exploring the shops and streets of Södermalm. The highlights included great views, second-hand shopping and a tasty fish dinner.
After 2 days in Gamla Stan I moved to my next accommodation, a floating hostel (a boat!) in Södermalm. I arrived just before lunchtime and then took the ferry across the water to spend the day exploring the museums of Djurgården.
