Scandic Gothenburg City

... det och är vana vid bortkollrade resenärer. Puh! :)

Dagen idag bjuder på det stora momentet, den svåra utmaningen, det verkligt tuffa... PACKNING! Mange har sagt att jag får ta med mig precis huuuur mycket jag vill, bara jag bär det själv. Pft. Visst visst, vi säger väl så... ;)

Resan påbörjas ju lite imorron eftersom vi åker till Malmö då. Och så fyller ju jag år ...

Ja här är en av väskorna som ska få äran att förflytta våra ägodelar till andra sidan Atlanten!

Det är onsdag idag och vi tar oss ner till Malmö på söndag för att flyga från Köpenhamn på måndag. :)









Och här är lite bra-att-ha-saker...

... to spy the Danes. It had a great view of the city. Also went up to a bar in the top of a hotel; it was on maybe the 26th floor, which is really high for scandanavia. In Denmark, they have a law that no building can be above five stories, as it disrupts the skyline of the old churches and buildings.
Went to two great art exhibits there. One had ridiculous signs ...

We have passed the one month mark and I'm on my eighth country. I guess it’s a good thing that time is ripping by.

My trip to Sweden was basically just for the festival, so I didn’t see too much of Gothenburg. I did see a lot of great bands and got to hang out with Ben and Bevan again, plus a few people I met at the hostel. Pretty much everyone at the hostel was there for the festival, so that makes for a pretty ...

Packed and prepared for departure; had one last trip to Slottsgaten to the petting zoo; AND went to the U2 concert with Linda and Magnus (after Annika ...

... ferry which leaves from right in front of our hotel down the river to the center of town. We strolled to Haga, the old part of town and picked up some lunch. We returned to our hotel for an in-room picnic of open faced sandwiches. 

After Tyler's nap, we took the Sporvang (street car) back to Haga had an early dinner at the vegetarian restaurant where my Aunt Bisse works. She set us up with ...

... Square. After the walk around Gothenburg we returned to the hotel to drop off bags and went to lunch eating at a pasta place at the nearby shopping centre. Went back to the hotel again and got bags and took the tram down to Saltholmen then boarded a boat to go on a trip throught the islands of the southern archipelago. Weather was cold and wet so stayed inside the ...

... for Hairdressing and he told us about his life as a Palestinian, moving to Syria, then to Jordan, then to Iraq, getting married to a woman from there, then back to Jordan, then to Sweden where he has been for the last 8 years and loves it. He served us coffee and little candy bars and told us that when we came back through Gothenberg that we could stop by his place for some more coffee and a chat. Morale in Sweden was definitely on the up, and we headed on for the old town. We stumbled ...

... at a lovely little steak house in town where apparently the waitresses speak better English than me. As she spoke Swedish to me, assuming I know the language, but I looked at her like a deer in the headlights. Claes let her know I was a silly American with no sense of what she was saying so she proceeded to elaborate with words that I did not even know existed in the English language. I felt quite amazed because I thought how remarkable it was that ...

... my hand. He walked away with his friends telling me have a wonderful stay in his town. We went back to Jess' place to start our evening of entertainment. Damian and Jess got the beer and wine flowing and prepared dinner. Louise had brought two huge whole smoked salmon down from Bullaren. They were massive. It was a brillant dinner. We ate loads. Sarah turned up, who we haven't seen for years and we all had a laugh ...
