Scandic Molndal Gothenburg

... 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 ...

... even bought me a beer… nice people those Dutch. After St. Vincent I rushed off to meet up with Ben and Bevan to a museum where there was an electronic DJ type show going on. After a painful hour and a half wait in line to get in, I finally made it (at 130am). Once inside it took me awhile but I did manage to locate them, and we enjoyed some fat beats and bright lights. The walk home took me nearly an hour… and it was 4am ...

... Magnus scored us tickets at face value!!) at the local stadium just minutes from our apartment, with 55,000 other fans!

               
 

Goteborg is very green with lots of nature themed parks. It was a nice day out with people picnicking and hanging out. We took a bus tour around the city and saw these points: Botantical garden, cultural center, old city section, new city section, shopping district, university, sports complex and ports.

... front half of the train went to Gothenburg while the back half only went as far as Helsingborg. So, even getting to the station half an hour before the train left we had to run to the other end of the platform to catch the train. Train seats were not the greatest for the 4 hour trip to Gothenburg arriving at 12.25pm. Walked across square to hotel and checked in then went back to train ...

... still pointed out the windows. Very cool. Unfortunately our last camera batteries died as we hit the tower. Oh, as a side note - For all of our male cousins, brothers, friends, or other single guys of any description - We've got One word for you... Swedish Girls We headed back to the hostel, got our bags, attacked the train station, managing to hop on a train to Malmo just in time, hoping that there will be accommodation when we arrive. Then we had an idea.... Guess where we are!

... Those tricky Swedes. I got to meet Rasmus and his mother Rosemary, Claes' sister. We talked for a wile and agreed to meet back at Ingvar's for a few beers and a nice dose of the NHL. As Brian and I filed away the beers, candy, and chips we all got to talk about Rasmus' hockey and soccer accomplishments and go through the names of locals who have gone professional in both soccer and hockey. Soon, however it was late and time for bed. The games were over and ...

... but there is just something so inspiring about skating outside under a beautiful blue sky. It's fantastic! We happened to see Tadek's fiancé, Karin, in the departure lounge. We'd met Tadek years ago in a bar in Viet Nam. But he was in Iraq working and she had come to Gothenburg to visit her friends. We hadn't seen her for a while either so great to catchup on their wedding plans. And that was Gothenburg.....................
