Anette and Rasmus wave goodbye from their apartment just in case we get lost, never to return.
Thursday promises to be an exciting day. We're planning our first solo trip on the subway.
If there's one thing more common in Sweden than Blondes and Volvos, it is cell phones. We saw them everywhere. However, Hans' cell phone is broken so he is going to spend Thursday morning getting it fixed.
Diana and David are going back to Gamla Stan to complete the Royal Palace tour and maybe stop by the Riksdagen (Parliament). We'll meet with Hans later (using the cell phone we borrowed from Anette).

Hurray! We made it to Gamla Stan. Actually, the Stockholm subway
system is very easy to understand. We were never in danger of getting
lost.
First, we want to finish our tour of the Royal Palace. We tour the Royal Apartments and Halls of State and Gustav III's Museum of Antiquities.

This is Rocky's favorite photo from our Sweden trip. It's a huge lion
statue outside the Royal Palace. I'm not sure why but the lion is a symbol
of Sweden.
After taking a break for more ice cream, we toured the Riksdagen (Parliament).
The Swedish Parliament meets in this chamber.
Hans meets us after the Parliament tour and he gets to try out his new cell
phone headset talking to Diana. I told you cell phones were everywhere in
Sweden.
Is Monica in Sweden? No wait, the sign doesn't say "Slut
Area", it says "Slut Rea". By the way, "Slut Rea"
means "final sale".
Diana and Hans serenade us back at the apartment.
