26th September
Hey there!
We headed off to Goteborg, to have a wander around the shops and as the title states see if we can find mag a new helmet.
We head off and just as we set out the door it starts to rain, and oh boy did it rain a lot. I fell asleep for most of the drive. Mag said it was pretty nasty on the roads. The only photo I got of the drive was the one below. Those clouds look so inviting eh!
Once we had parked the car and made a mental note of the floor we were on. Off to trotted in to the nordstan shopping center. It was pretty busy as they are having some sort of special weekend when all the stores are giving big discounts on their Autumn Winter range. This also meant we were greeted by very loud music and a massive stage, for a fashion show. Urgh.
Mag had the great idea to head to the lower level and see what was down there until the show had finished. It was so much quieter down there. We had a look in a game shop and then in a shop which sold games and then hoodies and things. Nothing really interesting to see. Oh apart from a ton of minecraft items.
We got a bit bored wandering around the store so went off to find a jewelry shop I went to last year and got my thumb ring. Thankfully we found it really easily. Walk out the main door and its down the street a little!
The shop is called Avi & Lena, it has all many of silver pieces in there. I honestly could of spent hours just trying on all the rings! I was after a ring for my index finger, been looking for one for ages now but just could not find the right style. I narrowed it down to just two, then the lady said that she has one a bit like my thumb ring. ( I mentioned to her that I went to the shop last year and got my thumb ring) She showed me a double love heart ring, it was so nice. They only had three left and none of them fitted :( She offered to check in the back and came back with one more! I held my breath as I tried it on. It was perfect. Looks really good too!
You can just about see the thumb ring, its not as shiny as the new one. Really should give it a good clean. We will be heading back there next Friday before we head home. So if im good and have some money left over might get another one!! We shall have to see.
After leaving the shop, mag had to look in yet another games shop! I decided to sit outside in a little seating area. Started to feel a bit funny. I was not sure if it was down to there being too many people around or I was hungry. I let him know as soon as he reappeared and off we went in search of food. Mag knew exactly where he wanted to have lunch (for a change) he wanted to go the chinese buffet we went to last year. I guess it made an impression on him!
We got our seats, mag went up to get some food for me. He appeared with the plate to your right. A good mix of food, chicken, salad and noodles! I made a massive mistake when I went up to get my own food, I ended up picking a massive plate of battered FISH! In a panic and headed back to mag with just this fish on my plate, and put it all on his and ran off again to get the noodles I wanted and chicken! We both had enough after one and a half plates. So decided to call it quits on lunch.
This was pretty much bad timing as we headed towards the door, we saw everyone running inside soaking wet. Yes thats right there was a torrential downpour. We just sucked it up and headed off. We had to real destination which did not overly help. So we walked a bit and then walked a bit more. I got fed up and took my glasses off (couldn't really see where I was heading)
We stumbled across a naughty lingerie shop next door to a exotic sex shop. We both guessed they may be owned by the same people. We then found a piercing studio and then a massive make up store. We then walked along the river for a bit. Please remember this is still in the bloody rain... I'm totally soaked by now. My nice hair I had done in the morning just looked like a flipping rats nest.
See nice hair....Wish I had a photo after our trip.
Anyhow, back to the walk. We then made our way to the indoor market had a brisk walk around there and went back outside again in the rain again. By this point we were soaked and gave up on trying to keep dry, the rain did stop for about 10 minutes. We just kept on walking down all the random streets going past clothes shops, toy shops, bingo places you name it. Again I wish I took more photos. Stupid rain.
We happened to stumble across one of my favourite beauty shops, so had a good mooch about in there. Found about 3 nail varnish I would love and sniffed a stupid amount of perfume! I was very good and did not buy a thing! Waiting till next Friday.
See all the pretty colours!!!!!
We left the shop, empty handed (just thought I would add that in again) I was tired and mag wanted to go to a different part of town. Over the river to look at a sports shop. So we hopped in the car, and drove on our merry way following the satnav...and we got lost. Like totally and utterly lost. I kept joking that we would end up in some sort of ghetto..I don't think mag appreciated my humour.
After mag gave up, pulled in to a random parking space. He had to use the data on his phone to get the right address! Why he didn't have it before hand no idea. Once the correct address was put in the nav we were once again on our way. They really like their tunnels here, we went through about 4. One of them had pretty blue lights in it.
We got there, I found open free wifi and decided to stay in the car. I did not feel like going into another THREE sports shops. I let the boy go off on his own and chatted to mum. Only issue was if I moved the tablet only a little bit I lost the signal. Next thing I know I see a rouge mag approaching the car. He needed my help!
He had found a helmet and needed my help to make sure it was correct, fitted in all the right places etc. I grudgingly agreed to go and help. Off I went.
To end the story on a happy note. The helmet was in fact perfect. It was the right price, fitted well and looked good. We had one happy Mag!! Never seen him spend money so willing and so fast! After paying we went to walk back to the car only to see it was once again CHUCKING IT DOWN. It was like I was cursed or something. Swearing happened. I took a deep breath and went for it. Not running just walking hunched and briskly to the car. Mag suggested I wait by the curb and he would drive over. I turned down this, as by the time he had got the car over to me I would still be soaked. Got in the car soaking wet, cold and feeling a bit sick. Not good.
I warned mag I felt like I was going to throw up. You know just that feeling you get that starts in your tummy. He suggested I went to sleep to help me feel better. I did just this once we got out of town.
I woke up just as we pulled on to the road outside the house. Perfect! I also felt much better! Win Win!
We didn't bother with any dinner since we ate out for lunch
All in all that was our day.
