Europe » Sweden » Västra Götaland County » Gothenburg October 23rd 2011

Went for a drive to the Vatterfjall Nature Park with great expectation of what we would see.....not a waterfall in sight..so much for trying to be a smart **** with my translation. Anyway a nice walk and picnic...and another truly wild-animal. Gotta be worth 20 points on I-Spy wild animals, 10 for the red squirrel and 10 for a slow-worm......... read more

Bit wet on saturday...went for a walk around Slottsskogsparken, a large public park on 5 min drive from the centre of town. At the top of the hill is a deer park....hence the 'cheating' animal shots, except for the red squirrel which was wild.... read more

Europe » Sweden » Västra Götaland County » Kungälv October 9th 2011

Went for a drive about 30 miles or so up the coast, north of Goteborg. Just outside of the town of Marstrand, we went thro' a police checkpoint. They were checking driving licences and carrying out sobriety tests. First time I've ever been breathalysed.....came back negativo..... Marstrand and Skarhamn looked like nice places to visit in the Spring/Summer - something for next year. On the way home, had a massive fall out with Emily, she's the Garmin sat-nav lady. As a result managed to traverse the tunnel under the river 3 times before getting on the right road.... read more
