The sun was out in Oslo - back to t shirt weather. We travelled by train across the border into Sweden and stopped at Goteborg. Just before we arrived the heavens opened.
Just to make matters worse, we had extreme difficulty finding anywhere to stay. Goteborg is Sweden's 2nd largest city and home to Liseborg, Scandinavia's largest amusement park. School is out and everyone is here. There were lots of kids with beach gear getting off the train along the way. Perhaps they did not notice the floating ice we thought we saw.
Perhaps we can't afford to stay here but we can afford to eat and drink here - unlike Norway.
Wherever in the world we have travelled, we have found good Italian restaurants. Whilst we did not find one in Norway, we found a great one here in Goteborg - frequented by locals with the pasta served in bowls big enough to take a bath in.
Tomorrow we will visit some of the local museums but plan to avoid the amusement park.
We are thinking of changing our plans and catching a ferry tomorrow afternoon to Frederikshavn in Denmark and then making our way down Jutland to Copenhagen.

Well i suppose if you don't have a hotel it's just as well you found a bath, even if it does have a few strands of leftover pasta in the bottom.
Swimming around floating ice chunks does NOT seem like a great idea to me.
I firmly believe the air temperature needs to be over 25 and the water temperature over 20 before it's swimming weather.
