This church is across and a bit up the hill from the railroad station. There are other churches in the area. I attended a rummage sale they had on a saturday when I was there because you can tell a lot about the people by what they discard and try to resell. It was very interesting.

Getting ready for Christmas means you have to put up the tree. Their tree was natural but they added boughs to the bottom of a 20-30 foot tree on top of a pole. I never did see the finished product. Across the harbor you can see the youth hostel and their ship they use as a bunkhouse. It is a novel and wonderful adventure to stay on board. The ship is permanently docked on the island.

The Hardrock Cafe is a healthy walk from the train station. However it is along main streets and is easy to find. I was going to eat here but decided on the Mandarin Chinese restaurant I had passed on the way. It was a real treat...so much so that I returned for several meals. The railroad station is a good focal point for wanderings in the city. Good public transportation and not very many taxis.

As you walk along you will notice many statues and it would be fun to know their history. Some of them have a socialistic and labor slant but really are quite interesting as they seem to be in small parks amongst apartment buildings.

There are exceptions.

Inside the Grand Hotel is a statue against a mirrored wall. She seems out of place, isolated and cold. It certainly is curious.

The streets never appeared busy. Not like a rush hour in the USA, for certain, but Swedes aren't driving cars with the cost of gas so high.

Want to try a harbor dinner cruise on a Viking boat? Here is your chance. I took the traditional harbor cruise popular with the Swedes and found it really very interesting.
