Took the boat tour of the city, free whit the Göteborg pass. Its well worth it.
The canals were built by the Dutch to drain out excess water from the very swampy like ground as well as to create a moat around the main city, for protection.
This is your tourguide, Lisa.
sitting on a boat relaxing has a strange calming effect.
going under bridges, and they get lower and lower the farther away from teh city center you get.
Preparing for the lowerst bridge in Göteborg aka 'hairdresser'
We made it through alive.
casino cosmopol on the right. maritiman right in front.
so much blank sea space.
a dry dock, the dock is lowered into the sea, then the ship to be repaired gets in place, then the dock raises itself. to properly align both boats takes a few hours.
plates to stabilize the boat coming in.
polluting ferry to denmark
Where seamen go to practice emergencies on board. That contraption can stimulate almost any scenario at sea.
quite scarry to cross paths with a big ferry. strangely enough, the top speed for the tour boat is the same as the big ship.
going back by another way, this is the cheese grater, not so low, so can only grate you.
well done.
the boat floated back to the original location, pass more bridges and canals.
