Day 10: 8/4: Vasa museum and such

 Well- with our metro passes now fresh in hand, we set out for Neckareservatet via the metro. The place is huge. Something like 6 miles across and 4 miles wide and seemingly limitless trails criss-crossing it. You'd probably get the hang of them eventually, but we just hacked around the first bit without knowing much of where we were going and I vaguely used the sun. This was also scouting out for a potential workout loop for tomorrow's long run, but we ultimately decided early on that this wouldn't be a great spot both for the potential of getting lost, but also the excessive hills. It looked a lot like someone had plunked a huge trail network down in the boundary waters. Lots of rocks, conifers, and some oak and other deciduous mixed in. We eventually found our way and left again via the metro; perhaps a 15-20 min ride back.

     Recharged a little at the apartment with some lunch (we've consistently been getting lunch supplies and then eating breakfast and lunch in the room), before setting off via ferry to the Vasa museum. It was fairly steady rain by this point, which made for a crowded museum. I didn't know much about it ahead of time, only that it was suggested by both Tilman and Chris/Christina. It turns out that it is an entire museum around a ship that sunk on its maiden voyage, and then they hauled it up in the 1960s and have revived it. It was pretty insane to take it. Very ornate and massive in scale. It was quite crowded in the museum, but overall a good experience. 

     Walked to a different metro station to head home in order to check out our potential running spot for tomorrows workout.

     Dinner was nothing fancy; a burger place in the neighborhood. Barrels, I believe. Solid burgers, but nothing out of the norm for a good burger in the U.S.
