Göta Canal
Coriander and Arianell are beyond excited to be starting on the next part of the trip…
…we’re taking the canal boat Juno from Göteborg to Stockholm!
We will travel 190 kilometres and pass through 58 locks…
It was all very exciting!
Some locks are very small…this is the view on the port side…
…and here is the starboard side of the same lock!
We were allowed to get off the boat and walk in certain places…
…so we did!
At one of the stops we found a patch of wild lingonberries!
But we didn’t need to forage for food, we were very well fed!
…and we had our own little cabin to sleep in at night!

That looks a lovely way to travel and a nice change from the earlier parts of your trip. What an amazing adventure you are having!
It is amazing! So many different ways of seeing this country, from up close and intense to slow and calm. The boat journey was just wonderful.
It sounds so much better than staying in one place or using only one form of transport
Looks like heaven on Earth! Thank you once again for bringing us along.
It was truly a heavenly time, thanks for coming along!
It`s a fantastic trip done part of it. When you get to Stockholm I must recommend Hallwenska house. It is a museum and there is an exibitihion of dollhouses this autumn. A “fika” att Vete katten is a must for any visit to Stockholm their pastries are to die for. Love following your trip through Sweden.
Thanks so much for the suggestions! We are spending a few day in Stockholm so there should be opportunities!
wonderful experience, going through the locks is exciting. Reminds me of my familie’s trip through the Panama Canal.
The locks are so interesting, there are even some that are still operated by hand! The Panama Canal locks must have been pretty amazing!
How wonderful. Thank you
You are welcome! I feel so lucky!
Super luxurious in a tiny exquisite way. I’m quite envious. I bet the Hittys had a whale of a time!
It was exactly that – when I booked the trip I was jealous of myself! It truly was everything I imagined!
what a marvelous adventure, I am feeling a touch of envy! I recall a favorite book as a youngster about a family who lived on a canal boat. I am so happy for you!!!
I had never travelled this way before, but I really enjoyed it completely! I may have to get the name of that book from you!
They are on an epic adventure! I think I would like to take this trip someday on the canals!
It is absolutely epic! I can recommend this trip absolutely, though it is a 19th century boat with corresponding features that you have to be aware of (like steep stairs, engine noise, shared washrooms etc). But a totally and completely wonderful experience never to be forgotten!
