Kit and Carol on the Road

After the wedding we spent one night in a hotel and 2 nights with the parents of the groom. We spent one day exploring the city in the rain. It being a Monday all the museums were closed. We went up to the castle where the original bits of the castle were open. I love the photo of the cannons from the castle aimed right at the cathedral. Apparently there were church/state issues. Across from the castle were the botanical gardens and in that yellow building there was a wonderful art exhibit which was also open. We found the Subway quite near our hotel and because it was so cheap we ate lunch there. (McDonalds and Burger King are everywhere but didn't see many Subways.) The final photo here is of the mushrooms we picked in the park just across the street from where we were staying with Bengt and Kristina. Luckily they know about mushrooms. We had them for dinner on toast along with a soup made of mussels, fennel, and gooseberries. Amazingly delicious.
