Here, there and back

Shh - my camera is still functioning even those the case is split, so those of you stil checking my blog can sample photos taken since the crash.

Friday we arrived back in Gothenburg from Copenhagen at about 4:30 (fast train), so I took the tram to my flat, unpacked and repacked my small bag, leaving the place in a mess, and hurried down the street to catch the bus to Ockero.  By the time I arrived at the Kandalen stop it was dark and raining.  I was glad to get to Ulla's house.

Saturday's sunrise was spectacular from my east facing bedroom.  We did the usual things - worked, walked, visited the bank, SystemBlogdet (state run liquor store), fish shop, and checked on changes in the neighborhood since we were last on the island two weeks ago

A boat in every yard

Including Ulla's - her son Peter's boat

The fishing fleet was in

And piles of nets on the dock

There was definitely more color in the bush by the shortcut

Than there was two weeks ago!













No surprises the rest of the day - or Sunday morning.

Sunday afternoon I made the return journey
Goodbye to Ulla's house
And to Ockero
A last look back
Before the big blue bus arrived
There wasn't much of a view from my set on the bus as we took the ferry to the mainland  
And on into Gothenburg 
I got off at Jantoket, walked past the funky trees
Through Haga, the old town, though there weren't many people around
Stopping at the ICA supermarket to uy some food for supper
Up the last hill
Finally - 1 Ovre Husergatan - my building
Up to the 5h floor -"'home" at last  
But the place is still as messy as I left it on Friday!
And tomorrow is my last full day in Sweden
