清晨起來，太陽開始冒出，出現晨曦，我們興高彩烈跑上甲板，一推開門，嘩，很大風！風實在太大，吋步艱難，好不容易才到達最頂層，拿出手機想拍幾張selfie，無情的強風一括，令我措手不及，差點站不穩。手暴露在冷風下幾分鐘已經變得僵硬，總是按不到手機快門。Moritz比我更早宣佈投降，未到終點已經鳴金收兵，要回船艙暫避。
We woke up when it was dawn. The sun started to rise and the sky became brighter. We were so excited to run straight to the deck. We pushed the door to open, but it was hard because of the strong wind. Very strong wind!!! To walk up to the deck was not easy neither, I felt like the wind was going to blow me away. It was very scary. When we reached the top, we would like to take a few pictures and a couple of selfies of course. However, the wind was beating my face and froze up my hands in a few minutes. It was hard to stand still, stable and straight and not to mention having some nice shots of me. Moritz pulled back to the cabin earlier than I expected because of really extreme weather.
最後我沒有拍到一張滿意的selfie, 因為實際情況真的不容許，我也箭步回船艙。但無意地我把當時實況拍下來，紀錄Moritz鳴金收兵的一步一動。
I did not have a satisfactory selfie under this poor circumstance. I left the deck right after Moritz. Check out the following series of pictures gain some credit and record how Moritz pulled out from the deck and my faces shown the actual situation.
稍為收拾好行李又再次到甲板，希望最後衝刺，此時船已進入哥德堡港口，看到北歐式建築，舖滿白雪，四周不再是無邊際大海，風減弱了，但仍然很冷。
Heading back to the cabin, we packed our stuff to get ready to land anytime. By the time we headed to the deck for second attempt to get some nice shots, the cruise already entered the harbour of Gothenburg. It was the first time in my life to see the real northern European architecture with snow covered the roof. Since we were in the bay but not in the middle of the ocean, wind was weaken but still chill.
首次踏足北歐，心情興奮，圍繞著我的不再是德文，是我聽不明白的外星文，對旅程充滿好奇，冒險正式開始！
I honestly felt so excited to be in Northern Europe. No more German around me but totally new language around. Adventure started with curiosity.
到達市中心，太陽毫不吝嗇大放睛天，令到我們心情更高漲。放下行李立即到市內活動，看看這個瑞典第二大城市。
We arrived at the town centre with the sun welcoming us. Sunshine on our face and we were ready to rock it. Loaded off the bags in the hotel and started our day in the second biggest city in Sweden.
最有名的景點是漁市場Feskekôrka，哥德堡有廣大的港口，魚獲豐富，在市場可看到凍蝦﹑小龍蝦、青口或螃蟹。可惜當日是星期一，漁市場休息，只好明天再來。
One of the famous sightseeing place in Gothenburg is Feskekôrka, the fish market. Gothenburg located at the harbour with rich seafood supply. You can find shrimps, baby lobster, mussels or crab easily. However, it was a Monday and the fish market closed. We came back the next day.
走在瑞典街頭，不難發現有機食物或健康素食主義大行其道，不少餐廳都以有機作招徠，沙律吧亦是十大之一。我們選了一間健康素菜餐廳吃午飯，吸引之處在於我們猶豫不決時，已經有許多當地人進入，一定不會很差！
Walking along Sweden, we found the idea of go/eat green is highly advocated. Food are always emphasised organic. Lots of veggie restaurants are found and Salad Bar is popular. We chose a café provided healthy veggie food for lunch. Many locals dined in and packed with customers led us made the decision.
餐廳自助形式，在櫃檯點菜付款，菜式簡單，只有自製麵包﹑三款湯和沙律可選擇，可以單點或選擇套餐，價錢平民化，套餐約港幣50，多加港幣20，可無限次加湯。
It is a self-service café. You ordered and paid at the cashier and picked your own dishes on the table. Dishes are simple, such as homemade bread, three types of soup and salad. Customers could have a la carte or combo with reasonable price. The set costs around HKD50 and paid extra HKD20 to refill soup without limit.
我們點了薯仔湯，湯很濃很足料，薯仔已溶化在湯內，冬天喝著薯仔湯，又飽肚又暖心。
We chose to have the potato soup which is really a good decision. The soup is hot which is a wonderful thing in the chilly winter. Potatoes are boiled to dissolve into the soup, every single spoon of soup include the small bit of the potatoes.
哥德堡市中心不大，花一天便可逛完重點景點。由於天氣好的關係，隨便按下快門都已經拍出令人滿意的照片。
The inner city of Gothenburg is not big enough to spend a couple of days. We have checked out the main attractions within a day. Thanks to the good weather, we had a lot of marvelous pictures in Gothenburg.
哥德堡有一個摩天輪，在明信片裡看過夜景，決定去朝聖一下，沿哥德堡著名購物大街Avenyn向劇院演唱廳方向走，經過多間戲院，部份是歷史建築物，風格典雅。在大街盡頭樹立著一磚石像，是著名的Poseidon, 市內地標，和我們入住的酒店同名。
We came across from the postcard that Gothenburg has a Ferris wheel. We decided to visit it at night. Walking along the famous shopping Avenyn towards the Ferris wheel, we past a few historical theatres. They look very classic and grand. At the end of Avenyn, another famous attraction the Poseidon statue is standing facing everyone. Poseidon is the name of our hotel as well.
穿過一個寧靜的公園和藝術館，走在已結冰的雪地上，我一步一驚心，不想被滑到。轉個彎看到大路，那就是摩天輪的位置，但仍未看到潮聖地。想著可能要再走近點，但摩天輪那麼具大，為什麼仍未看到呢？
I have to be very careful while walking on the icy road because of the melted snow. I almost slipped myself. Passing through a quiet park and the art museum, the Ferris wheel should be around the corner. However, we do not see any sign telling us we are correct. Let’s get closer to have a better view!
看！那就是摩天輪…的支架！
Look!! That’s the frame of the wheel.
後期加工!! Photoshopped!!
因為摩天輪是屬於Liseberg樂園的設施，冬季樂園不開放，相信摩天輪是被拆下進行維修。莫生氣，難得可以欣賞哥德堡的夜景，冬天在瑞典，多浪漫。
The wheel is belong to the theme park Liseberg, due to winter closure, they wheel was under repair and maintenance. Don’t be pissed. It is a good chance to enjoy the night view of Gothenburg and visiting Sweden in winter is such a romantic experience.
哥德堡市內其實不大，絕對可以走路。但入夜後明顯轉冷，已經穿得像米芝蓮，但風好像在衣縫間攝進來，我決定明天起要穿著更多！
Since the city is not big, we mainly used our feet to explore the city. However, to walk at night while the temperature dropped was not a good idea. I have dressed many layers on me but the wind could always find a path going through to my body. I will have to dress tight tomorrow.
