Final pictures from our journey leaving Sweden

These are the final set of pictures I took as we were leaving Sweden. Sadly I was driving and couldn't get a picture of our actual final view, driving across the Malmo/Copenhagen bridge with the sun setting over Kastrup. Quite a scene.

The end

As I have mentioned before, we have now moved from Stockholm. It was a wonderful city and a great experience. Next our adventures move to Andorra, where we will take a short break before moving on to yet more new adventures.

I hope you have enjoyed all I have shown you and written about here.

Sun setting on Stockholm

Appropriately enough, some of the last pictures I took of Stockholm were of the sun setting over the city hall. The volcano in Iceland had given the sky an unusual richness.

Edsviken runestone

And we found one final rune stone hidden in the corner of a housing/industrial development by a small mission building.
U131: "Tagn och Dan lat resa stenen eftern Torsten, sin fader, och Gunvar efter sin man"
Roughly: "Tagn and Dan raise this stone in memory of Torsten their father and Gunvar their mother"

Our neighbours party

We had heard about the open house parties thrown by our neighbours, but we finally got to see one, you can guess from the beautiful painting what kind of art studio they run.

Stockholms Stadshuset

They open up the City Hall for tours, so you can see the inside as well as the outside.

Ice bike

There was a bike meeting at the hotel in Sollentuna, they had some classic Swedish racing bikes on show, including this incredibly scary ice bike.
