The colours are fantastic right now 🍂🍁 We are lucky enough to have a summerhouse (autumn house) for when we need to see something else than our apartment. And I will be coming here a lot in the next months. Not only due to corona - but also because I’m undergoing treatment for breast cancer. 🩺 So staycation it is - again. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I love a good medieval fortress! 🏰 Especially, when one of my favourite historical people - queen Margarete 1. - was here. So happy, I convinced my travel partner to come here. Built 700 years ago and attacked 14 times. Without falling to enemy forces. It was the strongest fortress in Norway (now in Sweden) By car it’s only 20 min from Gothenburg.
Göteborg is perfect for a weekend trip. Although, it seems larger than I imagined and we won’t have time for it all. If you climb up to the 300-year old fortress Skansen Kronan, you get a nice view of the city. The 23 canons are pointing towards the sea. And it’s probably Danes they’re looking for... 😬 Have you been?
