Trip to the tropics

Malmö to Gothenburg

Time for another road trip, so we picked up a hire car and headed north. First stop was was Helsingborg, which is directly across the water from Helsingør in Denmark where we had visited Kronborg Castle (which we could easily see from the Swedish side).

We headed to the marina where there was a "tropical beach" - just a bit of sand a few potted palms, there were quite a few people sunbathing so as long as they believe it's a tropical beach then who are we to argue?

We then walked to the centre of town and climbed the hill to visit the 14th century tower called Kärnan, originally part of the former Danish fortress and the residence of Danish kings.

As we entered Gothenburg we had to deal with a lot of roadwork and bypasses, we made it to our hotel right above the central railway station without getting lost or taking a wrong turn, so we shudder to think how we would have made it without the magic of Google Maps!
