Blogs from Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden, Europe - page 15

Just a quick entry. Hope everyone is well. After a fun ferry journey from Denmark - complete with man and guitar and dancing drunk swedish pensioners we docked in Göteborg port. We're having a great time here in Sweden with our friends, Camilla, Rick and their 3 energetic children. Having continuously glorious weather and enjoying Swedish hospitality. Götenburg is a lovely city and Camilla has an apartment right smack bang in the middle of the city centre - very convenient for sightseeing! It has been lovely seeing them and will be sad to leave tomorrow, but Denmark is calling us once again!... read more

Okay so my second day in Gothenburg was interesting. The snowstorm wasn't as bad, but it was still windy and cold. We left the apartment and took the tram to the Central Station. From there, we walked around to find that the Chinese place we were going to have dinner at was no longer there. So we saw a few things like the Domkyrkan, Mariakyrkan, and some statues. I got to see the famous Avenue and the Rose Garden. We went by the indoor and outdoor stadiums too. Anyway, we walked around and then went to the movie theater and saw Vantage Point. The movie theater was near the indoor arena (Scandinavium). We met up with William, then headed to another Chinese place. The sweet and sour chicken was good, accompanied with sticky rice. Of course ... read more

A little while ago (the weekend of 2 February actually, so I'm richly late in publishing this blog, as usual) I went on a weekend to Göteborg. Some might not know this but it is actually the second largest city in Sweden. I knew someone who lived there (and just to beat smart comments to the punch, yes it is through a computer game, drunken gaming can be cool!) who invited me over and who am I to turn him down! So off I went (after spending f**king five minutes figuring Swedish train ticket machines out, now I know what an apex ticket is) on a three hour train ride during which I finished a lot of reading and got to see some of the Swedish landscape between Lund and Göteborg, which, unfortunately wasn't all that ... read more

Hiya travelblog lovers! =) We hope you all have had a really nice Christmas. Now we're back in a cold and dark Gothenburg. We're not too sad about it though since we have missed all our friends, family, sushi and salt liquorice just to mention some things. And we have had a really nice traditional Christmas too :) But if you are curious to find out what we were up to the last two weeks of our trip, keep reading... To go from Zambia to Tanzania we were ready to take a 48-hour train journey which we were not looking forward to. Getting to the train station we just had a 2,5 hour bus ride. It might sound strange, but the train was nothing compared to the bus ride. We thought that arriving to the bus ... read more
