Foxy's trip to Göteborg
2006

Part 2. The arrival in Göteborg

 
Now we were in Göteborg now. There are trams. But the first time we went by bus to the hotel. We did not know there were trams going in that direction too. Later we found out that there are 2 different trams you can take to the hotel, number 1 and number 3 came rather near the hotel.
We had to go to the hotel from the bus. Then we walked wrong and went up on this bridge that goes over road crowded with traffic. We went back and I discovered that I have been on this bridge before in a  dream! Everything looked the same as in the dream. This was real weird!
We came to the hotel. It was a wonderful hotel. Modern furnishing and air condition. This is not common. Most hotels have no air condition. The name of the hotel was Spar Hotel Gårda. The best of all was that this hotel had computer for their guests. Now I could talk with our son in Umeå.
When we had brought the luggage to the hotel we went out to eat  lunch in a little restaurant. And we took a walk with a canal. The weather was nice. On the other side of the canal was a grave yard and there were a lot of beautiful trees.
A duck in the canal.
We came to a kind of sluice and Ove took this picture.
Behind the sluice were water lily's.
We came to the Ullevi stadium. The you can look at sports and it's also used for Rock concerts. Our son Lennart was here to see Robbie Williams.
We walked back to the hotel in a lane with beautiful trees. There were funny capsules on these trees.
Here a near picture of a capsule. Later we learned this was chestnut.
Fireweeds near the hotel.
In the evening we had a good dinner at the hotel. Ove eating dinner.

We had a nice room. There were trees outside. They were giving shade. It was wonderful to go and sleep. And have a bed that NOT was moving :-) We were tired after the trip by train.
