Vasa Museum

This afternoon we revisited the Vasa Museum. This houses the Vasa, a ship from the 1600s that sank after travelling about 1.5km. Several were drowned.  The ship took several years to restore.

Outside the museum were Canada geese with their young.

In the morning we did a coach and walking tour of the city.

This evening we ate a Chinese buffet (all you could eat) with a couple of glasses of wine. Very good value at 451 kroner in total. £38.64 at current exchange rate.  This is not much different from the UK. Generally, things are more expensive  than in the UK.
These old books were outside the Vasa Museum. I am not sure if these were for sale.
