This is the way to travel – by ferry with sunloungers and bar! We decided to leave the boat in Grenaa for two weeks while we travelled back to UK for Rebecca’s graduation, which meant a ferry and train to Gothenburg, then flight to Edinburgh.
We stayed
at the Barken Viking hotel which is a converted clipper ship …
The first evening the weather was appalling – quite a storm blew up – but we had a
comfortable cabin …
… and
there was a cosy saloon to warm up in …
We had a
day to spare in Gothenburg, so had time to explore the city. We walked along the waterfront – the modern building
in the background is nicknamed ‘the lipstick’ …
This is
an interesting mix of old and new architectural styles …
This is
in Haga, the old town …
… and this
is the view from the top of nearby Skansparken.
The weather was very changeable – it looks quite nice in this photo …
… but minutes
later we were sheltering from a sudden heavy downpour …
We
enjoyed wandering round the spacious and very pretty Slottsskogen Park, which has
a small zoo with a rather camera-shy moose …
… a rather
bolder peacock …
… and some
interesting sort-of cut out horse sculptures …
Later,
the weather improved and it turned out to be a nice calm evening …
