22-08-2018 Bong & His Summer Update 10 (Fetsund Lenser)

Yesterday afternoon,

we made a short trip to Fetsund Lenser,

which is a national culture heritage.

It was originally a base

for timber floating...

and today,

it has been made into

a floating museum...

They have a lot of tourist activities

going on during the summer,

like art museum,

boat trip,

etc etc.

The whole floating pathways cover

very big area...

We walked until

this junction

that connects us back to land.

then started walking on the little forest

beside this BIG Glomma river.

Glomma river is also the longest river in Norway.

Along the riverbank.

there are many info about this Fetsund Lenser,

from their old time timber activity

to the process they fought to preserve and restore

this heritage.

From there,

you could also see the breathtaking view

of bridge in Fetsund

connecting the two sides of mainland.

We spent almost an hour there,

with the sightseeing ending with 

seeing the restored boats

and other things...

Although there is stair that one can use

to enter those boats,

I really had no guts to do that.

Hehe!

After visiting Fetsund Lenser,

we had a short driving trip

to the 'city center' of Fetsund

and that's all!

13-08-2018 Bong & His Second Trip to Goteborg (This time with a bus!)

On a Friday afternoon after work,

we went for a weekend trip

at Goteborg. 

I was supposed to have

a business meeting at Goteborg

on Monday

and Arne had his birthday

on Sunday. 

So,

why not just traveled earlier

and celebrated it at Goteborg? 

Using google map,

we took the trip on foot

from Nils Ericson bus terminal

to our hotel.

Passing through Goteborg city center,

Stora Saluhallen (fresh food market)

and everything,

our main target was to just reach

systembolaget (liquor store)

before they closed!

We managed to grab

what we wanted and needed...

so the journey continued.

We walked through a bit of the King's Park

(Kungsparken)...

Haga Protestant Church

(Hagakyrkan)...

My favorite neighborhood in Goteborg,

Haga...

before we arrived at our destination.

For dinner,

we simply chose a nearby indian restaurant.

This India Garden

was so lucky to be chosen by us :)

The food was quite authentic

but the portion was definitely not big.

The next day,

we woke up at this Goteborgs MiniHotel.

After having pretty nice buffet breakfast,

we started our sight-seeing

around the neighborhood

plus Haga!

Haga is a very cosy

nice neighborhood,

with many nice small shops

on its main pedestrian street.

From antiques

to delicious food,

we spent like almost 2 hours

just enjoying everything at this small area.

We even bumped into our old neighbors in Oslo here!

After Haga,

we crossed the river

at Rosenlundsbron.

The nice sunny weather

just made everything in Goteborg

seemed even nicer!

We passed by the nice 

'Engineeringpartner Automotive Nordic AB'

office building

(Gosh, I wanna have my office there too!)

and Saint Andrew's 

Anglican Church...

We suddenly ended up at the city center again,

with some nice men in costumes for the kids..

hehe!

After crossing bridges and rivers,

we ended up at this Kronhuset,

which is a historical landmark

at Goteborg.

At that time,

they had this market thing in this building

but it required ticket to go in.

So we just decided to leave and

see something else which is free :)

To be continued...

XOXO
