I dag skal jeg undervise på et kursus i Göteborg sammen med en børnekirurg. Så i går tog jeg toget nordpå og fik brugt togturen på at forberede mig en hel del. Jeg har fri denne uge (nå ja - på en måde, altså!) og har bestemt at jeg tager et par dage i Göteborg så jeg kan nå at bare hygge mig og kigge på alt det jeg normalt ikke når.
Det første blev selvfølgelig at tage ud til Børnehospitalet - som iøvrigt er virkelig fint! Vi fik ret hurtigt styr på vores fælles foredrag, heldigvis.
Today, I'm having a presentation at a course in Gothenburg with a Pediatric surgeon. So yesterday I took the train North and spent the train ride preparing. This week is off from work (oh well - kind of!) so I decided to take a few days off in Gothenburg to have time to just hang out, looking at the stuff that I normally don't have time for.
First thing, of course, was going to the Children's Hospital - which by the way looks really pretty! Combining our presentations was quickly done, fortunately.
Derefter fandt jeg mit hotel og tjekkede ind. På vej tilbage til byen kom jeg forbi Göteborgs eneste slot. Lad mig bare sige, at jeg IKKE var imponeret! Dette er simpelthen "Drottning Kristinas Jaktslott". Nogen burde skamme sig, at kalde det et SLOT!
Then I went to my hotel and checked in. Going back towards the city center, I passed the only castle in Gothenburg. Let's just say that I was NOT impressed! This is actually "Drottning Kristinas Jaktslott" (Queen Kristinas hunting castle). Somebody should be ashamed to call this a CASTLE!
Næste stop havde jeg set rigtig meget frem til. Jeg er mange gange gået forbi denne her butik udenfor åbningstiden, og mine forventninger var store!
Jeg blev IKKE skuffet. Jeg har aldrig set så mange forskellige knapper og bånd i sådan en lille butik. Jeg kunne ikke lige finde ud af at købe noget fordi der bare var så meget, men jeg håber jeg kommer forbi igen. Der var virkelig meget fint, så hvis du nogensinde kommer forbi når der er åbent, så kig indenfor!
My next stop was something I had been looking forward to for a very long time. I have walked past this shop outside of the opening hours, and my expectations were very high!
I was NOT disappointed. I've never seen so many different buttons and ribbons in such a small shop. I simply couldn't decide on buying anything because there was so much to choose from, but I do hope I get in there again. There were so many pretty things, so if you happen to pass this shop when it's open, then check it out!
Derudover gik jeg i Systembolaget og fandt en julegin! Sådan en speciel en fra Göteborg som jeg vil glæde mig til at smage på. Den ser vildt lækker ud! Jeg var også i en boghandel eller to (den sidste boghandel havde utroligt meget fint garn, så det var ikke nemt at gå ud igen!), så I kan nok regne ud at min shopping er ret bred. Eller nørdet.
Da jeg valgte hotel havde jeg ingen anelse om at lige det her hotel har gratis vafler hver dag mellem 16 og 21. Det var bare perfekt som "dessert" efter aftensmaden og jeg tror faktisk også jeg skal have en i aften.
Ellers bliver eftermiddagsplanerne for i dag et museum (tror jeg), lidt mere shopping (jeg skal også i kaffehandlen heroppe!) og måske en tur ud at sejle med et af de skibe som sejler rundt til de små øer. Jeg håber de sejler nu om vinteren også. Hvis jeg når meget er det fint. Hvis jeg ikke når så meget er det også fint. Hyggen er det vigtigste!
I also went to Systembolaget and found a Christmas gin! A special Gothenburg kind of gin that I'm really looking forward to tastin. It looks so yummy! I also visited a book store or two (the last one had so much lovely yarn, so I had a hard time leaving it!), so I guess you know by now that I have a broad taste in shopping. Or quite nerdy.
When I picked my hotel, I had no idea that this very hotel have fee waffles every day between 4 and 9 p.m.
It was so perfect as "desert" after dinner, and I do think I'll have one tonight as well.
Otherwise, the afternoon plans for today are a museum (I think), some more shopping (I want to visit the tea- and coffee shop too!) and maybe to go sailing with one of the ships going out to the small islands. I do hope they are active during the winter as well. If I do a lot of those things, it's fine. If not, that's also fine. Just doing what I feel like is the most important thing!
Mon du kender denne butik, som har de samme varegrupper med knapper, bånd m.m.m.
