| Gothenburg to Oslo
We continued our journey from Copenhagen to Gothenburg in Sweden. Unfortunately the weather was mostly cloudy, however there were still some nice occasions where light through the clouds gave me chances of capturing nice pictures.
We berthed next to the Opera House, a prime location in Gothenburg. There were several old long ships which were used as party boats or floating restaurants in the same area.
The picture with the statue on top of the column is the Sailors Wife. The statue was erected as a memorial for the sailors who died during World War I.
While we were sailing out of Gothenburg I took this picture of Alvsborg Fortress, it was erected during the 17th century to defend the city.
We moved north to Smogen which was a very interesting village with several holidays houses. We spent the evening at Fjallbacka. The route to Fjallbacka was moving through several small islands and rocks. Although it was very well marked by buoys, it was still a challenging cruise. Then at the middle of these rocks we entered a lovely small bay, Fjallbacka standing on the shore as a small town out of a story book.
