    Too cold and snow coming down heavy here this morning so not a day for sightseeing.

    Instead I have introduced Bob to the locals. They were more than happy to share accommodations with him.


    The local wildlife was also interested to greet the guest


    What is more Swedish than a Billy bookcase? Honestly don't believe I can think of anything..


    The real viking helmets didn't have horns. That is just a modern depiction since I guess it makes them more fierce looking.


    Even though it's cold the dog still needs his walks so Bob got to see the forest next to our house.

    Not really a fan of snow (can even say I really dislike it) but there is something soothing about vast areas of untouched snow ahead of you.

    Otherwise the woods are not that exciting (we didn't run into any deer or moose). The only interesting part is the old stone wall that run through it.

    It actually formed the Swedish/Norwegian border in the 17th century. Up until the Peace in Roskilde 1658 this part of Gothenburg was Norwegian.

    To be continued when the weather permits
