Today was another big travel day: some arrived from the US (yay!) by plane, and those of us in Frederikshavn traveled over land and sea from Denmark to Sweden. The kids were picked up at the school and bused to the ferry dock, which was nice as they didn't have to carry their bags the 1.5 kilometers into town, and then, along with what felt like thousands of other young footballers, boarded the ship to begin our three hour journey to Gothenburg.
The ship had a game room (ping pong and arcade games), a duty-free store, cafés, and a slot-machine casino on board, and the kids had fun exploring in groups of three or more. A favorite find was the top deck, where the wind was so strong that they could lean way into the wind and not fall down.
Here are some photos of the boat journey:

Once we arrived in Gothenburg, we found our luggage pretty quickly and boarded yet another chartered bus with our name on it, once again confirming our rock star status. The bus ride to the school took about twenty minutes. The classroom where the girls are staying is a bit smaller than the one they stayed in last week, but they're now pros at setting themselves up, so I think they'll continue to have a fabulous time at their most awesome sleepover ever.
Here are a few photos of the bus ride and the arrival at the school:
The Lions Girls play tomorrow at 4:00 p.m., so they'll have time to get settled in before game time. Lars and Marco play at 2:30 tomorrow.
That's all for now. Good night and, as always, Go Lions!
