And so we parted ways with Great Britain (for now!) and hopped across the North Sea to Sweden. Since the Swedes (a) drive on the right and (b) charge a reasonable price for a car rental, we picked up our Volvo XC90 at Arlanda. We didn't book so large a vehicle, but no one else wanted it either so it was a free upgrade (and we also got GPS with it, a nice bonus!). We tootled into Stockholm for a quick look around, eventually stopping on Djurgården Island where we were serenaded by an ABBA tribute band across the water from the ABBA museum. We made our way around the grounds of the Waldermarsudde and took in the sites over the water, including a cruise ship departing the city. We returned to a parking ticket (because we couldn't figure out how to pay in the parking lot) and made our way up to Uppsala to our hotel.
