Out the door and to the left, straight into a film set. Who knows what they were filming but we may end up in it! The rest might have well have been a film set. Gorgeous buildings, all ranging in natural tones. Tall and thin, like supermodels waiting to walk the run way. I was very excited to spot all the buildings that I have seen on the walls of the Quickfall's house.
Just as we had reached the town square, I heard a kafuffle of noises and noticed that Lars had disappeared, straight into a cafe. He had found himself a drink called Julmust, think of Coca Cola but a Christmas version. Only sold in Sweden at Christmas time, so he was truely a happy boy! Winding through the streets and soaking in all the classic beauty of the historic buildings. We made our way through to the other side of the island, we could see the sun shining on the other side. It was time to get ourselves some Vitamin D. After some posed photos with Gustaf the Statue, we walked across, yet, another bridge. The sun was thawing through to defrost our bones, when something caught our fancy- Varm Korv (Hot Dog). Lars has been telling me about how amazing these are from the beginning of our relationship, he did not lie. They were the bees knees.
We found ourselves not only close but already in the direction of the ABBA Museum, it would have been rude not to. We chose to soak some in more sun, before we went in. Needing the Loo, I went to the closest one I could see. It was outside a restaurant and there were no signs saying not to use them, so in I went. I hear a man talking to Lars and he doesn't sound too friendly. Thinking nothing of it, I got up to leave. I am unable to. Quite often I get myself stuck in bathrooms because I can't figure out the door, but in this case it was not my fault. I had been locked in. The stupid man (there are stronger words I could use here) was making a point by locking me in the bathroom. I'm not good with small spaces so I start banging on the door and yelling out for Lars. Then I hear Lars on the other side of the door yelling at the man. The door opens and I run out. Lars yells some kind words to the man while waving a friendly finger. I was quite shaken, the only way to fix the problem was some ABBA.
The museum was incredible! Interactive singing, music videos, dancing with holograms, and dance party rooms! All alongside 'behind the scenes videos' and information of the group. We spent a good 2 hours with the museum mainly to ourselves. Time to go back. The scenic route was the way to go, the sun had set and there was a thin light blue line parting the skyline with the navy of the night. All the signs and lights had come up and the vintage billboards were a-glow. A truely educational, magical and musical day.
Tack för de dag!
