The trip - day 3

Friday
We started the day with a drive down to a smaller town south of Södertälje called Järna where we had seen a few houses we like the look of. There was one in particular with a round tower that I had fallen in love with. Sadly, when we got there we discovered that it was right next to the train station. But the rest of the town seemed nice, and it's definitely somewhere that we will consider making our long-term home.
Back up the motorway again to meet D's colleagues and ex-boss for lunch. They took us to an Indian restaurant that looked very drab and dingy on the outside but was stunningly modern on the inside. The food was pretty good too, and really cheap, so it's somewhere we'll be going back to.
Another visit to a supermarket, this time a big ICA which reminded us of Asda or Tesco and will probably be where we do our main grocery shopping. We've been very relieved to see the number of familiar brands so we can introduce the girls to Swedish food gradually. Not sure how I'm going to work out which is the right flour to make bread with though.
We'd heard of a small town called Trosa which was supposed to be beautiful so decided to go have a look. At lunch we were told that it was also known as 'the end of the world' and driving down there we could see why! It was absolutely gorgeous though but we decided it was too cold to get out and have a walk round (really need to buy some better winter clothes). There was a house there that we had a look at as well, which would be a fantastic place to live, so hopefully there will be something similar available by the time we are ready to buy.
Having explored to the south it seemed like a good idea to have a look to the north as well, nearer Stockholm, so we paid a visit to Huddinge. Almost straight away I could tell that it was not my cup of tea at all (don't ask me why) so we're going to stick with places south of Södertälje.
After a big lunch, no-one had much of an appetite so it was back to the ICA for some snacks and then an evening in the hotel playing cards and watching snooker.
