| The photo museum was housed in a former customs house |
After a rather late breakfast (the porridge was very nice), we took a big taxi to
Fotografiska on the large island of
Sodermalm. There were three modern exhibitions in the converted brick customs house. On the ground floor, large graphic images mainly of women, but also flowers, by Vinoodh and Inez. Some of these images were hard to look at.
Upstairs were photos of animals by Nick Brandt, taken during his stay in Africa. His elephants and lions were especially memorable.
The third exhibition was of photos and paintings of women by Swedish photographer and artist Anders Zorn. We had a coffee upstairs and then we looked in the gift shop.

| Interesting cloud formations. Later it rained. |
To see the rest of Sodermalm we had to take steep steps up a rock face. The views from the cliff edge were spectacular. When it started to rain, Robbie found a rather dodgy Turkish restaurant,
Amida, on Google, where we had falafel platters and water.
We found shops nearby and bought a paper before taking the metro or
Tunnelbana home. We did some of the Bank Holiday prize crossword.
In the evening we dined at
Zink Grill. We had fish (I had salmon) or seafood platter. There were large portions. I also had a creme brulee. We got a taxi back to the hotel. Robbie spent the evening with a university friend.
