Last 2 Days in Gothenburg

On Sunday we started our day at the Gothenburg art museum. Gothenburg is known for its arts culture and we even got into the museum for free because they accepted that we were Australian students! There was lots of art and sculptures made by famous Scandinavian painters as well as paintings from Monet and Picasso. We had lots of fun observing and walking around. (Some of our favourite paintings are included here because of the incredible detail in them). We got some burgers for lunch then made our way on a bus to Slottskogen which was a massive beautiful park and forest. Little did we know it also contained a zoo on top of the hill of the park! Even better, it was free. It had seals, penguins, duck, sheep, moose and all sorts of deer even reindeer. We were very excited as we love seeing animals and the animals had big pens (except we thought the seals could have had more room to swim). Seals are literally just water puppies and one kept doing things like Milly- rolling around on its back and just laying like that which was funny to watch. The fallow deer were exactly like Bambi! It was our first time seeing a proper reindeer which was cool and one had the most gigantic antlers! This park was definitely such a good find. On Monday we spent the day strolling through the city and looking through shops. We walked through Hah again and had another Fika. We then went into a liquorice shop. They had lots of samples so we finally got to try salted liquorice… oh boy it was disgusting. Ethan tried a regularly salty type while Iesha was braver and tried the extra salty (it was covered in salt the same way sour lollies are covered in sugar). Iesha felt immediately sick after trying and Ethan complained he’d been insulted because “licorice was a safe choice” usually for him. We don’t get how people can eat that and wouldn’t wish this experience on our worst enemies. Eth was definitely in a bit of a worse mood after that. We finished off our day walking to the Skansen Kronan which is a 1700s fortress that has a nice view of the city. Our last night was spent making a homemade green curry, wine and watching Vikings (a show we have started this trip for obvious reasons and are both addicted to).もっと詳しく
