Our train trip from Copenhagen to Gothenburg went smoothly and less transfers were needed thanks to the recommendation from a ticket distributor to take an earlier train to Malmo and avoid the previous transfer scheduled at the Copenhagen Airport. This gave us additional time in Malmo to walk around and see the sights around the train station.
Our hotel is cozy, comfortable and compact and close to all sights. Hotel Vanilla has a public cafe which serves delicious desserts and we are looking forward to their breakfast experience in the morning. We would definitely recommend our temporary home to others as our room called the "Peppar Room" feels just like home. We are only a 3 minute walk from the Domkyrkan cathedral.
Gothenburg is a bustling city and the cafes are packed with friends sharing drinks and food. We are amazed at the number of young people sitting in the cafes and wonder how they afford it! Fashion is a priority with most and we appear to be too casual in our hiking clothes. Clothing, drinks and dinners out must take most of their earning! Food is cheaper here than in Copenhagen but alcohol continues to be overpriced and I wonder how these social people save money for travelling which I know they love to do. Swedes must live in the moment and not worry about the future which is not a bad philosophy.
Today we did a walkabout around town and saw many sights and then planned our priorities for tomorrow which is our only full day in the town. The Konstmuseum, Fish Church and historical Haga section of town will be where we spend our time. The rain stopped once we arrived today and I hope it stays away until we leave on June 1. We have had little rain so far and able to walk everywhere that we need to go.
