We both had difficulty getting to sleep last night, constant thoughts of The Pearl Market buzzing round our heads; we awoke just before breakfast stopped being served. One hurried breakfast later and we were off for round 2 of shopping in the place that had kept us from slumber.

Armed with the previous day’s knowledge we set out to buy a few of the things we’d been having on our list of things to buy, but never got round to it in Stockholm. Despite an aversion to buying clothes I succeeded in purchasing a number of items, with an overall feeling of getting quite a bargain for most of them: 240 crowns for a Peak Performance jacket being the best buy. I’ll not mention the underwear, but Jo amazed herself by buying two different sized purses.

If we go to the Silk Market on Tuesday I’ll do my best to get her to splash out on herself.
