I’ve
had my traveling shoes on again and this time Niall, Mary, Dean and I went to Gothenburg.
It started a bit frantic as my alarm failed to wake me up, making me miss my
bus and having to get a taxi into town to the station just in time for the
train. I love traveling by train as you get to see so much of the country side
and the surrounding areas. It was only me and Niall traveling down in the
morning and Mary and Dean were going to meet us later that night.

We
arrived in Gothenburg which is a beautiful city, I think I preferred it to
Stockholm but I think the weather didn’t help Stockholm so I will have visit it
again sometime. Niall and I made it to the hostel which looked great and left
our bags off and set out to explore the city. We saw some bike stands and
decided it would be the cheapest and probable the more fun option of traveling
around the city, for three days for 10Kr (one pound) we couldn’t go wrong.

We
decided to cycle to the Universeum which is a kind of W5 centre. It was so much
fun they had a full jungle area with wild birds and monkeys running around. I
was able to coax a parrot onto my arm so that was a lot of fun. They had a
underwater shark tunnel which was amazing to see. Being able to get so close to
the sharks was really cool. We decided after that to go and cycle around the
town in search of an Irish pub to watch the Ulster rugby match. Not long after
that Mary and Dean arrived so we grabbed some food and called it a day as we
were going to have a busy second day.

We
woke up early and went for a walk in the nearby park which had moose and other
animals in it so we walked around and enjoyed the lovely weather looking at the
native Swedish animals. We decided we want to go to Liseberg which is a theme
park. We arrived and tried to coax Mary to go on her first ever rollercoaster,
we finally managed. By the end we found it more difficult to get here away from
them. We went on the log flume and got totally soaked which made a good few
people laugh a most people were pretty dry coming of it. I really enjoyed
Gothenburg and would have loved to have stayed longer.
