The Trip 2009 - Sweden 38

Saturday 8th August.

Another lovely sunny day.

Unfortunately Jim was called into work. We sat and read and in the afternoon I went for a walk with Elin. We crossed over the bridge to the other side of the waterway and walked down Hamngaten before cutting down to the waterside opposite Lotta and Fredrick's.



A lovely boat heading up towards the Landsvagen bridge.



Its a lovely sunny day and so there are Swedes sun bathing everywhere. The buildings in the background are the Carlsberg/Bauhaus complex.



I still can't get over this. I have never come across such sun worship before. We love the sun in Australia but this is different, at the least hint of a bit of sun the Swedish population strip off. I suppose that in a climate where the sun appears for such a short time, you have to make the most of it.



All along the waterway there are lovely little tea rooms.






At first I thought it said Cafe Bathurst and felt a little homesick!



Kalbergs Slott.


The building now houses a Military Academy.



Looking further down the waterway towards the city.

We walked up to the station at Karlberg and had an ice cream before catching the train back to Sundbyberg. In Sundbyberg we shopped at ICA and then went home for a Hotpotch dinner. One of my favourite meals. Lovely!



Someone had been having fun with the fountain in Sundbyberg!
