The IATA slot conference was held in Gothenburg, Sweden. Would I have visited this place if it were not for the conference? Probably not! But am glad I was given the opportunity to visit as it was also Midsummer which is a celebratory occassion for the Swedes.
Midsummer festivities generally begins on the Friday when the Swedes head enmasse out to the country side to their family homes. Swedes are generally attuned to nature and everyone leaves town, everything shuts down and the streets are deserted. We got to experience that! But unfortunately we didnt get to see any of the festivities.

Gothenburg is a small city and is easily covered on foot. It is also a city with plenty of canals and one should try and do the padden boat tour so as to see the city from a different perspective.

We had dinner on this Barken Viking boat. It is now a hotel.
The strawberries in GOT were delicious
