2/8/26 Skinnarviksparken

 

    Yesterday , we stayed at home , the lunch the day before wasn't sitting well . Justin & Isla went to the amusement park in town and had a ball - she came home with the biggest smile , but was completely knackered . We managed to go out for a walk to the supermarket to get some supplies . 
   Today however , we were back on track and went back towards the city , but stopped one station short , before jumping onto another train taking us a few stops west . There we wandered up to a park were Isla had a play before continuing on to a vantage point on top of a rock hill . There's an antenna on it and around the base are 3 murals .




 Made for an interesting view .Talking of views , we overlooked the Town Hall 


More impressive buildings lined the waters edge where many boats were moored , ready for cruises or dining or both , not to mention the ever present ferries .



Definitely not dull looking buildings at all .


Walking back down we found another playground for Isla , then counted toward a restaurant Justin had found for us . This well restored Dodge was in a carpark .


Through a busier section we found another park with impressive fountains in it .



Interesting building , corners recessed for the doorway 


Someone enjoyed the Lions .


An interesting way of stopping vehicles from entering the area , beats bollards !!


We made our way to a restaurant , ready for our genuine Swedish meal . 


Here's our menu 


The restaurant was nicely setup 


And here was my meal - Reindeer Stew with cranberries and mashed potatoes - it was delicious , sorry santa 🍖 Justin and I both enjoyed this .


Lyn & Isla had the meatballs , which was also delicious .


 Everything went well with a couple of swedish beers , served by a wonderful gentleman who kept us entertained . 
   Back to our usual transport and back home . We bought a weekly travel card for each of us , and it lets us travel on trains , trams buses and ferries . We haven't had to buy any other fares during our week here - win, win ,win . Here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1087u_6UAe49awBQuTFAAW6ugm42X7tA&usp=sharing
