So, Mikael and I did something super spontaneous. His new photography hobby took us all the way to Fredrikshamn in Denmark for a tattoo festival where he will do some photoshooting.

The plan was for us to get here today at noon so we could have some time to tourist around this town. But late yesterday we received an email from Stena Line telling us they rebooked our ticket to the 15:45 ferry. They sent us the email too late so we couldn’t call them and ask why. Apparently, we could have gotten tickets if we rebooked with a vehicle. Like what? So weird!

Anyway, we had already taken time off work for today, so we spent it eating brunch in Gothenburg which was nice as well a random Friday in October.

On the ferry, we got great seats right next to the bar. I played a bunch of Pokemon, but then people around us started to get too drunk so Mikael listened to a book and I listened to music while reading. Not too bad.

We checked in at Best Western at 19:30 and walked over to Arena Nord where the Ink, Beer and Dart festival was held. We got our wrist bands, started walking around for a bit and eventually found Think, where Mikael got his second tattoo a week ago. We had talked to them about going to this festival to practice a bit before doing a job for them at their studio so they can get some cool shots and video footage to promote their studio.

So tomorrow, we will be there at 10am when Sanna, one of the artists there has a full day client. I will be there for support 🙂

We also took a tour in the beer hall where we ended up talking to one of the organizers who offered us a “hot shot” but not exactly a hot shot. More spices and a break from all the beer there. It was good. He said it was thanks for us giving him tips on what to do for a student field trip to Gothenburg in March. Super nice!

We walked back to the hotel, I already got blisters on my feet from my several years old winter boots. But since it’s the beginning of the season, the blisters are there…
