Another day of canals, lakes, locks and bridges
through lovely green countryside – very lush, sometimes reminiscent of Canada
with all the pine trees and water. This
is where we anchored overnight in Lake Roxen, but a bit choppy for swimming
this morning …
Here’s a lifting rail bridge, where all the
overhead cables have to lift up as well as the track …
We’ve got our team work going quite well in the
locks by now …
We stopped here at Norsholm for fuel and were
tempted by this friendly café’s home-made apple strudel straight out of the
oven!
We went under a 22m clearance power cable, which was
a bit scary, and another 22m bridge – this time under the main E4 motorway …
… both of which we just got under with our 21m high mast.
We carried on through more pleasant, relaxing
countryside, past this angling competition …
… through a sliding road bridge – this is quite an
interesting view looking down the road from the canal …
… more locks …
… and into Söderköping, the last
port of call in the Göta Canal, a busy little harbour with outdoor cafés along
the waterfront. The block of flats with
a sort-of house on top is a converted grain silo …
Söderköping is quite an attractive small town …
… and the Church has an interesting separate wooden
belltower …
We enjoyed a nice glass of something at one of the
harbourside bars …
… and watched the sun go down.
