It seems as if we’ve only just arrived here; and, really, that’s quite accurate.
We walked our feet off today. I’m almost glad tomorrow is a driving day.
Göteborg is a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a very vibrant city; a very young city. That stems from the large university population.
It’s not what I would call beautiful, but there are areas with definite charm, such as Haga and, a little further on, Linné. It’s vaguely reminiscent of Amsterdam, but has failed to protect its historic areas and is not nearly as charming.
Eloïse and the unborn did well today, with several purchases at the two Villervalla shops in Haga. Scandinavian children’s clothes are so appealing, as, indeed, is so much of Scandinavia.
Also purchased today was a pot of organic lingonberry jam. When in Rome, etc.
Anyway, it’s a long haul to Hamburg tomorrow, so it’s time to go horizontal for a few hours.
Eloïse today started complaining about “too many hotels”, so she, for one, is ready to head home.
