Recap: Road Trip 3
We traveled down the west coast where there are many idyllic harbors like this one. In the summer this area is bustling with tourists but by this time of year many shops and restaurants have closed. We took a free ferry to head east to the interstate. After a visit to Trollhatten to see some locks which were empty of water and full of construction, and after nearly getting lost in Goteburg--we found the best hotel ever in the town of Warburg (again it was something we stumbled upon). In this photo of our room you can see some of the posters but not all of the books. There are thousands of books in the hotel. We thought it was really expensive but the price covered not only breakfast--but dinner, and the use of the Lenin Spa (including a loan . I can't begin to describe the lovely spa designed after one frequented by Lenin in St. Petersburg. We didn't take the camera to the hot tub. We regretfully left the next morning. The weather was horrid. We went to the Fortress (castle) next to the beach. Luckily there was an awesome museum indoors. The exhibit on the bog man was fascinating. Here I am dressing up like him. But the instant photo/e-mail computer didn't work for me.
