I was sitting at work on friday, casually surfing the net – as is my inclination to do – when I happened to visit Ryanair, who were advertising 500,000 free seats. I am a big fan of these giveaways, having visited Rome & Turin on previous occasions, through similar offers.

I started looking at availability and came across flights to Gothenburg on the 14th April for three nights, for the princely sum of approximately £30. Bargain. I decided to book it, which I promptly did. So thats my big news. I am headed to Gothenburg for three nights in mid-April. Thursday to Sunday. Weekend Away.

I was going on my own, but after I booked it, a friend declared his interest in the Swedish variety of the female species, and has subsequently booked his own flights, and will be joining me as I venture to Sweden’s second city.

All in all, this is coming at a good time – especially for the blog, as I will be able to make my travel writing debut! More to come nearer the time…..
