Cycle taxi

Viru, the main street, is a strange mixture of ancient and modern. Opposite the mediaeval walls is McDonalds. On the outside the restaurant is not as garishly in-your-face as most branches of the chain. Across the road is a row of cycle-taxis, seemingly driven mostly by students.

Swedish Parliament Building

Most of the way the route passes through rural scenery with lots of woodland. We pass no fewer than four roadside McDonalds!

Shortly after mid-day we arrive in the centre of Stockholm opposite The Swedish Parliament Building.
