My first task this morning was to figure out the Metro. I bought a 7-day discounted ticket (senior status) which gave me access to all buses, train, trams and boats. This was perfect since I wanted to travel to Djurden, one of the many, many small islands in the Swedish archipelago. The metro stop was a quick five minute walk, and one staircase brought me to the platform for the train to Slussen. From there, I walked to the commuter ferry terminal to board the ferry.
The trip across the Baltic Sea was beautiful.
The ferry stop on Djurgarden was very crowded since there is an amusement park there (Grona Lund) and also the ABBA Museum. The latter had been on my list, but the crowds and the warmth of the day made me head for lunch.
Lots of restaurants crowded the main thoroughfare, but on a side street, I found Cafe Bla Porten.
The buffet was filled with delicious salads, sandwiches, desserts and bread. I chose a seafood salad and quickly found a shady spot to eat.
I'm drooling at that buffet photo! It looks like you have beautiful weather.
