Day 3 Lubeck to Gothenburg

The view from my window this morning (yes I saw another dawn!)

After a huge, no really ... HUGE breakfast, we programmed the oh so polite Mrs Peabody (the sat nav) to direct us to Gothenburg & set off, away from the lovely Lubeck (it was hard to leave).

It was a long journey that started with a short trip through Denmark to catch the ferry, we weren't at all sure how this would work. We'd booked tickets but we didn't know if customs, passports, more paperwork would be necessary so it was quite a shock when we arrived an hour early and were unceremoniously ushered onto the waiting ferry - not the one we'd booked.

 

It was quite a busy bit of water, lots of ferries back and forth & they looked like this...

 

Before we knew what had happened we were all on a ferry-ride, i.e. the car too, across the Baltic Sea.

Once we arrived safely on Swedish soil we headed for Gothenburg with a quick, unscheduled side trip to Malmo for lunch. MGM calls this adventuring. He turns the sat nav off and just follows his nose. It can be a bit unnerving but I've learned to trust his instincts and he never seemes nervous about not knowing where he is, his confidnece is catching.

 

this is Malmo

 

 

It was a nice break but we still had a way to travel so we didn't stay long. Mrs Peabody had us to Gothenburg (where we did not find the Swedish Batman, sorry cherubs).

Everything stays open late so we went for a sight-seeing walk in the dark & chilly Gothenburg, just around the hotel.

Now we're tucked up in our little room nice and early, lots to see tomorrow. There will be much walking.
