Sumana gave Advik his food:

And then we went off to see the sights!

The first creature to meet me was this

HOODED CROW:

Which strutted about as if the world was monochrome:

Buttercups spangled the grass with shiny gold:

Advik was, of course, happy to be out: So was his mother! We took a tram and went past Liseburg Amusement Park: We saw the Goteborg Museum: (No point in being indoors on such a glorious day!) We went to the Asian Store to pick up a few items: I enjoyed watching the trams, having grown up in a city (Kolkata) where trams still run. Some are wheelchair and stroller-friendly, some are not: I enjoyed looking at the building facades: We went to the mouth of the Gothia River, where the Opera House is: A festooned ship was berthed near the "Lipstick" building: There was kayaking too: Advik found himself in the hands of the Grand-ma-fia: He didn't seem too unhappy, though: There were Mallards in the water: Common Gulls were, well, common: As were Herring Gulls: and Black-headed Gulls: Their tails made such a pretty pattern! they were mewling: they were bathing: They may be common and pests, but they are still beautiful!
