Söderkoping (1)

After another 2 double and 7 single locks (of which one was standing open) and a few bridges, we got to Söderköping. We are now only 6KM from Mem, where the Göta canal ends into the Slätbacken, which is directly connected to the Baltic.
Söderköping is rather special, being historic as well as touristy. Now, in the midst of the summer holidays, the canal sides are full of people strolling along the many restaurants and taking in the view of the boats tied up. So we are again part of the entertainment. The atmosphere is very nice and we'll stay here another day or two. We'll also post more pictures then, but we have to show you one now of the 'ice cream restaurant'. Yes, only ice creams in a sit-down restaurant. Of course we'll have to try it, but we'll have to queue as it is very popular:





If you bring a baby or toddler, you park the pram in the 'pram park' outside:





And for our South African blog followers: yes, those prams will still be there when you leave the restaurant. And they are not locked...

More tomorrow!
