Göteborg, day 2
July 21, 2005




On our second day of sightseeing in Gothenburg, we walk through the central gardens.




the rose garden with over 5000 varieties



















we also peek through a theater set in there









along the channel




Hmmm...that looks like a good idea...a tour boat through the city channels.




Very proffessional guiding along the way, in three languages.




we're passing under may bridges




East Indian Trade Company headquarters, built in 1750.
Home of the city museum since 1895.




Everybody getting down on the floor for this really low bridge (high tide)




four inces




Gothenburg is apparently the home of the world's largest floating maritime museum.









passing by the city wharf









Chalmers school of Maritime Safety, showing various life boat systems.




temporary aqueduct above the ongoing city tunnel project




Mmm...




downtown architecture




Feskekôrka (fish church)




the town's fish market hall




Marulk, Mackerel




Mackerel, Rödspätta














clear eyes means fresh fish




Haga is an old part of town, with cozy car-free shopping




quiet, cobblestone




always two stories




Järntorget




Linnéstaden




Special lanes for bicycles? Now that's a novel concept...









espresso




A trip to H&M discovered some unintentionally funny t-shirt prints...














The Swedes are known to be quite relaxed about nudity.




In the food store: Check out the pickled herring section.




5 pound cheeses






The mayonaisse salad section...potato, macaroni, shrimp, tuna, veggie, beet, ...




10 pounds!
