I.T.E.W. Göteborg 2008











Photographs (up/left to bottom):
1. Göteborg is an old and beautiful city on the west southern coast of Sweden. The weather was not very good, but there were people everywhere; walking under the rain, getting on and off the trams and the buses or just riding their bicycles.
2. Another view of the old part of the city, with the Town Hall on the right.
3. Göteborg's port, next to the New Opera House. That old sailing ship has been turned now into an expensive hotel and restaurant.
4. The tiny island of Marstrand, an hour drive north from Göteborg. We visited there and old castle, and had dinner in a "viking way".
5. That is Ebba Petterssons Privatskola, the school we went to visit in Göteborg.
