Washing, old town and gathering

Woke up late last night to see the new years fireworks in stockolm. Luckily for us they were launched from barge 50m from our ship. Fire works were awesome and Alastair bowed the bini's judgement as he hadn't wanted to see them and had got shitty about it. Oops.

This morning bini and I finally did our washing. 

Once that was done we went and walked around the stockholm old town. Saw heaps of cool things like a Viking shop and the changing of the royal palace guards. Did all our souvenir shopping. Didn't actually get to go inside any of the tourist places as they were all shut for new years day. 

Stocked up on heaps of food, picked up our bags from the youth hostel where we had stored them and then headed off to the train station to get our train to abisko. Had a great hot chocolate at the station which kept us alive as our train was delayed by half an hour and we had got to the station an hour early anyway.

On the train we had a private sleeping compartment which was nice. Dinner (we were brought on with us) consided of bickies cheese, and a selection of sliced meat. Also we had orangina to help it down.
