Westcoast week-end!

As Per and I were done in advance with the thesis, we planned a little road trip on the Westcoast of Sweden, region that is totally new to me. Indeed, Per lives a few kilometers away from Göteborg and invited some of us to his place, in order for us to discover that (important) part of Sweden. Raphael, Mario, Per, Paul and I drove there on Friday 24th.



All in all, this was a great week end! we did so many things in such a little time!! On friday, we met Per's parents who were very nice all along, his house is more on the country side, it was therefore very charming and beautiful! Whereas the Ryd is a sort of microcountry peopled by students, and therefore not really nice, Per's home felt like a peace haven! His parents cooked very good food to us.
Then, on saturday, a crazy day started. Per's family has got a motorboat, and as the weather was really nice, he invited us to sail and go fishing! On the way to the fishing stores, we drove by a field were the national soccer team was training, and we therefore decided to go have a look! I recognized some players I knew, and it was fun to see how many fans went there just to watch their team training!
The fishing-sailing time was great! It was the best way to discover the region and it was very funny (especially when the boat stopped, making a strange noise and that we started to fight for the last food left on board as the engine seemed to be broken). Unfortunately we did not manage to fish anything, but we tried hard!! It wasn't our fault, ahah...
After another great dinner cooked by Per's father, we headed downtown for a rap concert that was pretty cool (the band was called EMC and came from the USA). We then wandered in the streets and finally went back home pretty early. We ended the week end by going to the amusement park and enjoy the good weather!
Göteborg was very fun and nice, that was definitely worth visiting!
