We went to Gamla Linköping (Old Linköping) and Göta Kanal on day 14, 20 June. Gamla Linköping is a big outdoor museum where one can experience what a small Swedish town was like during the second half of the 19th century. The houses, streets, signs, gardens etc tell the story of people´s everyday life and environment at that time.
This open-air museum comprises about ninety buildings, moved from other parts of Linköping, and consists of three parts: the town quarter, the Valla forest, and the countryside, represented by the Valla Leisure Park.
My favorite place in Gamla Linköping is the chocolate shop. They make candies and sell chocolate in a old-time shophouse. However, the shop was closed when we were there because it was Midsummer's Day, most shops are closed on this day. There are a lot of small handicraft shops in Gamla Linköping. My brother and BK bought a pair of woodedn crafted candle holder in the shape of a male and female, really pretty!
We walked over to Valla Leisure Park, where kiddos played in the playground and fed the rabbits.
After Gamla Linköping, we bought MacDonald to have picnic at Göta Kanal. Göta Kanal was one of the largest civil engineering projects ever undertaken in Sweden. It is a canal running across Sweden from the Baltic to the North Sea.
We were all too full from the MacDonald late lunch earlier so we decided to skip dinner.
