Catchup: Gothemberg

We found our host's house in the middle of the night. We came in and went straight to sleep, so the next day we talked a little then went out exploring.

There were so many nice stores there we ended up going shopping. Floh is sporting a Chewie backpack here

They had crushed glass in this unusable cement part near a stairway, so I tried to see if the glittering would work on camera... I thought it was a nice way to make a boring thing colourful

That church was okay, but it was hard to impress me after that one in Copenhagen with the organ

I went in and peed in this boat, so I got to look through a porthole!

its odd this area looked so much nicer in person than it's looking on camera...

we met up with our host Daniel in this area of town, and we walked to his University and got a tour. It was unbelievable! They had everything from a swimming pool to a gym etc. It was super swanky. Next we dropped by a supermarket and we made some food. Our flight to Floh's hometown was cancelled due to the volcano, so we had to research ways to get out of Sweden! I was in no mood to hitchhike after last time, so we were frantically looking up buses and trains and rideshares all evening. All of Europe was in chaos, so there were people stranded all over the place also looking for ways to get back. The only thing affordable was looking like a Monday bus at 3am to Berlin. It was 50 euro for a 12 hour trip.

This was a tough call, so we slept on it.
