The varberg feasting

 

During last years vacation, I and Amelia bicycled to Varberg from Gothenburg. The trip was very enjoyable, but when we got there we turned back and went home on the train. This year, we decided that it would be fun to explore the town a bit more, and that we should make it an outing together with Johan and Susann. Since we were lazy, we cut out the biking to Varberg bit and took the train the whole way instead but still brought our bikes.

 

We had booked a hostel room inside the Varberg fortress (built in the fourteenth century). Yes, the rooms had been a prison at one time but we found them to our liking, and we could cook as hostels come with kitchens (Johan made a great winter stew). Around the fortress runs a moat with cannons on top to keep the wily danish away.

 

Inside, we lodged in bunk beds, and pretended we were at summer camp.

 

The inside of the fortress was big enough to house a number of private residences in addition to the old buildings, plus a colony of rabbits that their run of the lush grass.
