It’s spelt Gothenburg in English, but pronounced yuh-te-bory in Swedish; just so you know.
In the end, we took a slight variation on my alternative route and travelled 480 km today. We’re now a mere 1093 km from home.
It was a pleasant enough drive from Stockholm, though with a few too many single lane 90 kmh stretches for my liking.
We rolled into town just after five, so it was dark by the time we’d unloaded the bags, checked in, parked the car and headed out for dinner. Already, though, one can sense that this city has a very different feel to it than Stockholm. My first impression is that the old town has been much less well preserved.
It was several degrees warmer today than yesterday. Although still cold, it felt like the beginning of spring when compared to the last few days.
We really have only tomorrow to look around this city before heading to Hamburg on Saturday, so we aim to get up on time, eat breakfast and get out on the streets.
Time to grab some kip.
