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
