Stockholm still

This morning we went by  a short bus ride and then  1 hour in a commuter ferry to one of the thousands of Stockholm islands. There is a popular waterside town there , Vaxholm  where we had been recommended a cafe. We spent several hours there sharing a prawn salad, a beer for Noel a limoncello spritz ( OK, but I will not need to try another) and then Swedish waffles. We caught a bus back and sat next to a wealth couple who lived at Vaxholm but had a home in Cannes to escape the grey Swedish winter. They had been to Australia 3 times because they think it is interesting! They had been on the train from Adelaide to Perth and the train from Adelaide to Darwin, enjoyed Cooper Pedy etc etc. On our walk back from the bus ( rather too long for Noel but he staggered on stoically) we stopped for a  drink. Noel had a lavender oatmilk latte - he had similar thoughts to me and my limoncello  - OK but not again. 

We will leave here tomorrow,monday,   home mid afternoon Wednesday.
