Last day in Stockholm

This is the Blue Room in City Hall, where the Nobel Price Banquet is held every year. We actually assumed that the official ceremony was held here as well, but it appeared to be the banquet and dance only. Impressive building though! After a tour we walked to the old city centre again for the Royal Palace, where we were the first to enter and had the palace for ourselves because all the other visitors stayed outside to watch the change of guards. This was pretty creepy, a depressing, dark palace with high ceilings and heavy marble stairs with nobody else but us! Luckily, the guardess had no-one else to watch but us, and we of course looked very dangerous, so she closely followed us around to make sure we made no pictures. Next, we took the elevator to Södermalm (really, see picture, it's an outside elevator which takes you to 38 meters high, where a gangway brings you to Södermalm!). There we did some shopping (bought a t-shirt for €3, which probably doesn't really fit into our eco-friendly travel goals), and wandering around. We also visited R.O.O.M., which is a more posh version of IKEA, with interior design stuff (and cappuccino). We retuned to Södermalm for a veggy dinner (to compensate for the shirt) and some great pies (again, really, they know how to make pies here! Any pie, blueberry, raspberry, chocolate, nuts & caramel, they're all fantastic. This is worth a trip on it's own...).
