Up kinda early cause I was hungry. Breakfast at Bentleys is solid. I quickly packed up and hit the streets. Started with the Old City Walk today. Streets were quiet as I walked down, got kinda lost along the way. Hit the waterfront first and just tried to take it all in. Even though it was Sunday, it was busy with tourists and cruise ship groups! I felt like I was on my own though which is cool. Did Ricks walk through the old town and checked out all the sites. It was a good one, a classic one down alleys only I knew about and cool features that you would get from a typical tour guide. It took a while to cover the whole thing. By then, it was getting close to the mid day parade infront of the Parlament building so I hung around trying to get a good spot. It was pretty cool. Saw the march, the change of the guard and the concert afterwards (with a special rendition of Dancing Queen). It was pretty hectic around there at that time. I decided I wanted to hit up a museum too so walked across the way to the National Museum, which supposedly had some nice art work. It was an alright museum, not as good as Denmark's national museum. I spent a good chunk of time there but felt like walking a little more so walked the entirety of Skeppsholmen, the tiny island right next to the museum. It was cool, quiet out there I needed a little break from all the people I think. As I was walking back, there was a huge police presence in the water around the bridge in front of Parliament. Some locals said someone fell in and the divers were looking for them. Seemed pretty intense. I kept walking and went down to see it on the way back. Went all the way back to the hotel (with a quick stop at IKEA!) to drop my stuff off, then went out to find some dinner. Decided on Ricks suggestion for meatballs. Finished the day at a Lidl getting some gummies and licorice. Overall, great first day and I got to do and see a lot, just scratching the surface. Total mileage was 10.4, back on my grind and it felt great.
