Göteborg Waters

Off the West coast of Sweden lies Saltholmen and a beautiful archipelago. For a moment I thought I was in the Mediterranean during summer. The sun is enough to burn you but the water is cool enough to keep you refreshed. 

During Summer the Swedes soak up as much sun as they can. The water fronts are always overcrowded the moment mercury hits 20 degrees.

A swan and its cygnets cruise around the islands. Aparently swans are considered dangerous if you get too close. I almost found out the hard way when I was keen to swim up and close with them. Amanda pointed out that it wouldn't surprise her if I cam back with a few less fingers!


 A random dance floor on the edge of an island. Loved the old school feel to it. Unfortunately it wasn't in operation so I couldn't get my boogie on.





The islands are too small to accomodate regular traffic. The community uses little mopeds as modes of transport.


The beautiful landscapes of the west coast.
