Today I'll post a few pictures taken during the spring of 2014 from a walk in
Lilla Bommen, a guest harbour in Gothenburg, Sweden located on the shore of the
Göta river. It offers mooring for temporary visiting boats.

| The Viking and The ''Lipstic'' |
This building popularly known as The ''Lipstic'' is a post-modern relatively tall structure. It is a red and white striped building located near The Viking. It's official name is Lilla Bommen, after it's location.

Also in Lilla Bommen is moored The Viking. She is reported to be the biggest sailing ship ever built in Scandinavia. She was originally built as a sail training ship for the rapidly growing Danish merchant fleet. Viking came to Gothenburg, Sweden permanently in 1950, as a home for various shipping organisations, and later became a school of seamanship. Today she is moored in the Gothenburg guest harbour as hotel "Barken Viking".
