Skol! Our Trip to Scandinavia Day #4 “Mamma Mia! Mamma Mia!)

Yesterday we finished the group tour in the morning and had the afternoon to ourselves.  We opted to go to the ABBA museum.  I was not crazy about the idea but numerous people had said it was a must see attraction.  I thought it was okay but not spectacular.  I think Patrice liked it more than I did since she got the opportunity to audition to be the 5th member of the group.  See below. 

I’m sure many of you know (I didn’t) that ABBA is named using the first letters of the first names of the 4 group members (Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-frid).  All I can say is that it’s a good thing that the female members joining Benny and Björn weren’t named Olivia and Olga.  Can you figure out the rest?

We then had a lovely dinner at Bistro Bestick just footsteps from our hotel (Bryggargatan 8, 11121 Stockholm).  The food and service were excellent.  We shared an appetizer of “Mushroom Toast” and it was great. For the main course Patrice had the Char and I had the Cod.  She made the better choice. 

Typically when we share things Patrice will take a bite or two leaving me the rest.  This can be dangerous because if I am not careful I will find myself eating 2 meals instead of one.  Last night Patrice definitely had her share of the appetizer and did a great job on her main course as well. 

This morning was a travel day and we were driven to the town of Toftaholm which is about 250 miles from Stockholm and we made a variety of stops on the way so driving time was a little over 8 hours.  We are in a nice hotel that is more like a bed and breakfast.  The room is fine and tonight’s dinner was very good.  

Tomorrow we get an early start so see you then, when, after a morning tour of Toftaholm we leave for  …….. Wait one second, let me ask Patrice where we are going tomorrow. 

Patrice WHAT ARE WE DOING TOMORROW?   She doesn’t seem to be available. I will get back to you on that…………… tomorrow.
