Summer break 2025. Adventure. Part 4 of 7 days.

Wednesday July 23rd.

Starting later today but with breakfast and Coffee on the “balcony”. It’s a bit more grey clouds this morning but the around the same temperature (+23ยฐC) 10 am.

Today’s goal is the botanical garden.  Something the both of us love. I don’t have much that looks like a garden at home… but always dream of something I can make a garden in or off. And today we’ll walk in a huge garden and receive even more idea’s or just inspiration for a future garden ๐Ÿ˜‰.

The weather forecast today is grey and cloudy but it’s predicted to be up to +28ยฐC even today. A good day for this kind of adventure!

We catch a local bus down to Brunnsparken and switch to a tram towards The botanical garden. We took tram nr 2.
This is the area = the garden.

We past the gates 12pm. And stroll slowly through this magnificent garden. We had really good weather! A good combination of โ›…๏ธ๐ŸŒคโ˜€๏ธ and wind and a temperature between +23ยฐ and +26ยฐC.

And here are some of the flowers I liked…

Through the school garden and interesting tree garden…

… I had to stop to cool down my feet’s…


Our lunch around 2pm in the shadow ๐Ÿ˜Š.

After the lunch we walked towards the Japanese garden.

And when we came to a fence we thought we would end up in an other smaller garden but we didn’t ๐Ÿ˜†. We walked through the Nature Reserve and ended up in a street with houses ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† and had to walk back the to the garden once more.

The Nature Reserve.

And now it was time for ๐Ÿšป (toilet facility) and water to cool down, rest on the grass and ice cream. And a kind-of-power-nap in the grass.

While laying in the grass the wind got stronger and suddenly we heard the thunderstorm getting closer. (Around 3 – 3.30 pm). And had to walk faster to not get wet from the sudden ๐ŸŒง rain ๐Ÿ˜†.

Tram back into the city but not to Nordstan, but to Grรธnsakstorget (the vegitable square). Rain pooring down and yes we didn’t take our Rain jacket with us ๐Ÿ˜†.  Grocery shopping and walking in the rain to the closest tram stop to get back to the hotel.

Late dinner out on our ” balcony ” and yatzy with wine in the chill breeze after the thunderstorm and rainbow ๐Ÿ˜Š. A perfect evening!

Summer break 2025. Adventure. Part 3 of 7 days.

Tuesday 22nd.

Our plan yesterday was to sleep in, but no I woke up 7 am and couldn’t sleep more ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†. Annica was awake maybe ten minutes later. We had an early breakfast and coffee. Took things like it came. No stress just relaxing.

Around 11 am we headed into the city. I had something I needed to do. The reason for this trip for me. 

This is so Swedish!


Had lunch at Deg_pizzeria …

   …which was really good and tasty! Totally recommend if you visit Gothenburg .


Walked around in the city…

Street art on a garage door.
Street art on the way into a mall.
Funny sign.
Instead of an ice cream that would melt before you started on it, we bought each ice tea Mango + Mojito. Really good! At Espressohouse.

Continued to explore. I found and bought a shell jacket on sale ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿคฉ. Got some necessary things you need during a stay on holiday. And last stop was the liquidstore (which is a special store just for alcoholic liquid and where you have to be 20 years old both in Sweden and Norway) where we got each bottle if wine. Me white wine and a new ale and Annica red wine.

Dinner around 7 pm and… movie time.
