After a rest at the hotel we set out to explore more. We found a virtual underground city under the central train station. Shops and restaurants galore as well as the central area for the three main train lines: the subway, the commuter trains and the regional trains. They each have their own ticketing systems and we spent a fair amount of time trying to figure them out. We met a lovely couple from California trying to do the same and had fun figuring it out together. Although it was now Saturday night we were not up to night on the town in spite of some wonderful offerings in the Old Town area. We had seen signs for bands, everything from blues, to jazz to hip hop and rock and roll. Maybe some other night. We found this amazing grocery store, organic, local produce, great bakery and bought some stuff. Then back to the hotel where we drank cups of Earl Grey tea and ate yummy cinnamon buns while watching Swedish TV. They were showing a full length ballet called Tatiana based on Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. Modern staging and music. It was fantastic.
