Gothenburg - Day 4 - 9/10/11


We stayed at the funky, modern, Hotel Avalon in Gothenburg. It has a glass bottomed swimming pool that overhangs the 8th floor of the building.

We had a walk around the town, going through a park and stopping for a look inside the palm house, a miniature version of the Crystal Palace:-
We followed this with a tour by boat of the cities canals and harbour and then did a bit of window shopping before heading off on the drive to Frederikstad, which took up the rest of afternoon apart from a stop for lunch.

Lunch was at Vatten, a gourmet cafe attached to the Nordic Watercolour Museum at Skarhamn, on the Balhus coast, a scenic area of coastline north of Gothenberg.

I had the fish stew, which was delicious:-
