Liseberg Park We began our trip to Sweden in Goteborg.On our first day we bought a two day pass to the wonderful amusement park. This is Karen on the first ride, a gentle boat ride through a flower garden full of rabbits! |
Goteborg The city where we began our trip. |

| Karen's Second Ride . This ride was called the Jukebox. The centre was a neon fifties style jukebox and the cars were fifties type American cars. Incidentally,later when in the north of Sweden we saw several vintage chevrolets. . |

Karen on the ferris wheel. We went on this again the next evening and watched a lovely sun set about 10 pm and all the rides lit up below us. |
||||
| Karen and the giants. On the first day we left the park about 4 pm for a break and went for a ride on a ferry. As we left these two came by but the sun was pointing directly at the camera |

Karen's favourite ride . whenever we go to a theme park or amsuement park, this round boat ride on the rapids is one of Karens favourites. I like it too though I find the water rides that involve a sudden descent very scary. |
||||
| The Ferry. This was a trip we did on a ferry which is part of the public transport system. We wanted a break from the rides .This is in Goteborg harbour |

Giant Goodies. As well as the rides and the stalls like shooting ranges, Liseberg park had a game that was new to us. You placed bets on numbers and each time someone won a bar of chocolate or other food snack. Very occasionally someone won the big prize, such as a bar of a local brand of chocolate that was about 30 inches by 20 inches in size, or in this case a packet of crisps ( chips) which was the size but not weight of a sack of coal! |
