Snack time, Stockholm

 

Eating out is expensive in Stockholm. Considering that the average monthly salary of the Swedes is SEK 25,200 or €2800, I wonder if the prices are pitched at tourists rather than the locals. A bottle of Fanta and a bottle of still water in the Old Town (Gamla Stan) came to SEK50 or €5.70. In this cafe at the periphery of the Old Town, the walls are scribbled in random thoughts of many languages, but none can beat the declaration from a foodie that "The road to love is through your stomach".
