Restday in Motala

We had a combined restful and active day in Motala.

Mundane things like shopping, a good walk along the canal to Boremshult. There is a 5-step set of locks there, we'll go down those tomorrow but when you are 'part of the entertainment' you don't really have the time to observe and soak up the rather special scene. We took some pictures but these will feature with tomorrow's post, after all that is when we are 'officially' there.
Back on board we made use of the WiFi Internet (rather rare in Sweden so far) to do some work and back-up and update all of our devices.
After supper we joined in the Swedish custom of having an ice cream. There are two ice cream stores literally next to the boat:

We are amazed how quiet everything is though. Here we are, a Saturday evening in the middle of the school holidays, nice sunny weather. The harbour is half empty and there are not many people on the quayside either....
