Day 19 was the end of our time in Sweden. First was saw the royal palace. Then it was a lot of travel including a few delayed flights on our way to Stavanger Norway
Lincoln always wakes up in the strangest positions
Giant breakfast in the hotel before heading out
Those crazy pink birds on our hotel's street as we left for the royal palace
View of what I think is the royal burial church as we entered old town
The royal palace courtyard, this time way less crowded
The throne room, which is the first room as you enter the royal apartments
Closeup of the throne
Next were lots of rooms showing all sorts of royal awards and dresses. We didn't have much time to look at anything because Lincoln was on a mission to find all the animals on his kids map
Fancy dining room
Another reception hall, all very grand. Not quite Versailles, but lots of similarities
Lincoln with his animal map back in the inner courtyard
And then time for Lincoln to pet dad while we looked around
The royal chapel
View back at the Stockholm cathedral
Final view of old town
Shopping street we walked down to get back to our hotel. We passed a lot of espresso houses and stopped at one of them for drinks while we finished packing
We got back to confirm no suitcase. So we packed up the broken one. Here is Lincoln with his stick we were hoping to leave behind, but he snuck it into our luggage to make the trip to Norway
We had about a 10 min walk to the airport express. 18 min to get between downtown and the airport. Sometimes going at nearly 200 km/hr
Nice platform, very efficient
Then we made it to the airport with plenty of time to have a nice lunch
We even had time to try Joe and the Juice Coffee which we had been seeing all over. It was fine, but pretty expensive
Waiting for takeoff...we waited for quite a while. We were late taking off for unknown reasons
Quick transfer in Oslo...but then we actually ended up with plenty of time because our next flight was an our late
At Stavanger we had to take a bus to the terminal
Then a very pricey taxi ride to our apartment
We arrived to find out we were on the top floor of this great building. It sucked to carry our stuff up but the apartment was amazing!
We had a balcony and lots of windows overlooking the harbor. Plus 3 bedrooms
We went to noodle noodle for dinner. It was very good and nice to get away from meat and potatoes for a night. Plus it was affordable for Norway at least
Dumplings
After dinner we did a short walk to see a little of the town before it started raining
Statue by our hotel
It was already quite late, so we just made sure we were ready to brave the rain tomorrow and went to bed.
