This charming coastal town is called Hamburgsund, and it’s located in the municipality of Tanum. This town is known for its picturesque setting, which features the traditional red-colored houses with red-tiled roofs. It is renowned for its serene marina which is historically tied to fishing in 1585.

Hamburgsund is now a well-liked summer vacation spot, with a small but lively community that offers restaurants, cafes, and outdoor activities like kayaking and visiting the adjacent archipelago, which is frequently regarded as one of the most stunning in the world. Its natural beauty and cultural significance are enhanced by the Swedish flag and landmarks such as the Saltskärs Käring beacon.

Have you been to Hamburgsund? We’d love to know about your experience there and what you like most of this picture-perfect Swedish coastal town.

My colleague who’s from Afghanistan was the one who cooked us this delightful dish. But I must say she is one phenomenal cook and she is capable of preparing several meals at once. I looked into it more after learning its name and discovered that biryani is usually Indian, Pakistani, and even Iraqi. However, those varieties are really spicy. This Afghani Biryani was not spicy at all and I loved it!

I’ve wanted to learn how to cook it, though I’m not a wizard in the kitchen. I have never even cooked any basmati rice . But in my mind, I know I can make it. I just have to find the right ingredients.

I haven’t tried any spicy biryani, but I would prefer the non-spicy one. The most common I’ve seen online, which I can also order if I want, is the Indian Biryani.

Walpurgis Eve (April 30th) is celebrated with bonfires, singing, and gatherings to welcome spring. The image, with its bustling square, tram tracks, and historic buildings, might capture the festive energy as people come together, enjoying the clear weather and the anticipation of the evening’s traditions. The presence of the Swedish flags adds a patriotic touch to the vibrant atmosphere.

In the Gothenburg area, the celebration starts at the Chalmers Cortège in the afternoon. It’s a carnival parade by the Chalmers University of Technology students. I haven’t seen the parade in a long time, but I can always check it on the Internet.

I saw this lone cherry blossom tree in a nearby city’s square. I had a picture of the square in the winter and this tree was bare. The presence of the tree captures a vibrant scene of springtime. Though the weather condition in April seems to be cold or chilly in the morning, it may be sunny and warm in the afternoon.

We tried to avoid the big cities, where tourists usually flock. Instead, we find some smaller cities or towns where we could go for a walk and enjoy the view. To find someplace to eat and have a delightful meal is what we always strive for when we are on vacation. Luckily, we found Schleswig and Middelfart to live up to our expectations.

I realised I took the food photos with my phone, so I might make another post about it. Anyway, we generally strolled through the park or along the waterfront thoughout our little vacation.
