Göteborg harbor

Today's walk went down towards the city harbor. And even though I started out quite early the sun was giving me a hard time, so once again a shorter city tour.

A) Vasakyrkan; When I went to Hvitfeldtska high school we used to gather here to celebrate that school was over.

B) Kungsportsavenyn; I think it's so funny to see these almost guard like statues outside Systembolaget (the state owned liquor store).^^

C) Bältespännarparken; (or belt tightener's Park). The statue gave this park it's name. I mostly remember it because we would go ice skating here when I was a kid. I think you can still go ice skating here in winter time.

D) Östra Hamngatan; Over the door to a small sweets shop you find this drawing, showing the street in 1890, before the channel got filled up in 1898. It's quite different don't you think? I prefer it with the channel.

E) GöteborgsOperan; In summer time they have a beautiful terrace restaurant over looking the harbor.

F) Götheborg; This sailing replica of 18th century East Indiaman is the world's largest operational wooden sailing vessel and is now to be admired in the harbor next to the Mongolian Barbeque Restaurant!^^
