I want to visit the Husvquana Viking Sewing center/factory/museum. Do you know if there is a place like this open for public tours?

| 5th October 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Could not see neither Knivkjellodden nor North Cape - From: North Norway Hi Malte and the rest of you, It was such a thick fogg at North Cape so I could not really see anything. I have been to North Cape but I can't really say that I have seen it. And try to see Knivkjellodden would not have been possible either. But now at least I can say that i have been there. And you are right, it is not a place to live neither for people nor for little germs. Ake |
| 5th October 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Nix. Klättrade inte upp - From: North Norway Hej Irene, Nej, jag brydde mig inte om att klättra upp. Jag tänkte göra det men det hade varit så knöligt med att få någon att fotografera mig när jag var däruppe så jag kände inte att det var värt det riktigt. Jag såg inga får i Norge. Gott om renar men inga får. I Sverige var jag knappt inte alls så jag kan inte jämföra Sverige och Norge i det fallet. Vi ses om ett par veckor, Åke |
| 5th October 2009 Malte Malaria & co | We don't wanna go... but our grandpas' would - From: North Norway We don't understand why anyone would like to go there... it's so could that very few people live up there. Hence there are so few to incubate, that it is hard to spread ourselves. Grandpa' says he would like to see Knivskjellodden instead of North Cape. We think that is odd too. Anyone could can a peninsula - but not anyone can see North Cape! |
| 4th October 2009 Reskaninen | Klättrade du inte upp? - From: North Norway Jag sa väl att jag och pappa klättrade upp på Treriksröset, men det gjorde inte du? Förresten var det ju fusk med de där nya träbryggorna, sådant fanns inte på min tid ;-) När jag var däruppe då för hundra år sedan, tyckte vi att renar fanns på vägarna i Sverige, men så fort vi kom in i Norge så var där får! Inget du märkte? |
| 2nd October 2009 Ake_och_Emma | It is not safe to go to Yemen at this point - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west Yemen has over the last couple of years been very unsafe for tourists. Several bloody attacks have been directed against tourists. I would myself not go there again anytime soon. Ake |
| 2nd October 2009 gloria | love to visit - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west Y name is gloria and I'm 29 years old,I would love to travel to yemen u think its safe for me |
| 6th September 2009 Shane | Thank you... exceptional - From: Ukraine VII - Cold War Harvey... let's meet for lunch soon... miss our discussions... Shane |
| 6th September 2009 Penny Fox | Wow! - From: Ukraine VII - Cold War Thank you, dear Harvey, for having this forwarded. It is both amazing and so very frightening to read--especially for a "senior" who lived through all the years described and so much history--good and bad. With all the new technology and technological advances, who knows what is ahead. Humans vs. humans brings out the worst in humanity and the bet is sometimes hidden. |
| 6th September 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Tale of a flight over C - From: Ukraine V - Chernobyl Thank you for the comment, Harvey. Harvey has made one more comment on this blog entry, but that was in an email sent privately to us. But we liked it so much that we would like others to read it too. Harvey wrote: "In 1987, I flew from Bucharest to Moscow. The flight path passed over Chernobyl and it made me nervous. Since then, much of my hair has fallen out..." |
| 4th September 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Tack för boktipset - From: Ukraine III - Gammalsvenskby Intressant med en bok om Gammalsvenskby. Det skall vi leta rätt på och läsa. Tack för tipset. /Åke och Emma |
| 4th September 2009 Kristina | Boktips - From: Ukraine III - Gammalsvenskby Spännande redogörelse! Har ni sett att det kommit en ny bok om byn? "Banditer i byn". Läs mer här: www.alvinaforlag.se Mycket fina foton från 10- och 20 talet! |
| 3rd September 2009 Mikael Capelle | Beautiful photos of Oman. - From: Oman part II - Nizwa, Bahla and Sur Recently ,I was re-reading a book called "Sons of Sinbad" written in 1939 by Allan Villiers and Australian adventurer/seaman and renowned journalist. He referred in his book to the "dhow port" of Sur. I looked it up on the net and discovered your commentary and beautiful photos. Really impressive and informative. We have a connection with Oman here in Western Australia as our maritime Museum has had a long time research relationship with the Sultanates Maritme museum and the marine history of the region. Sailing is my absolute passion and also the history of sail .So it was my interest in dhows and the annual trade between Oman , Zanibar , Tanzania and the east African coast which brought me to your site. Thanks Mike |
| 30th August 2009 Reskaninen | Buses etc. - From: Ukraine VI - Poltava I want to sleep at the Hotel George too! and Swedish buses are all over Eastern Europe, I've seen old GÖ (Göteborgsregionens lokaltrafik) buses in Warsaw, for example. Still saying "Lerum". |
| 23rd August 2009 Harvey Follender | Great Report - From: Ukraine V - Chernobyl Your report is so interesting. Now I feel like I visited Chernobyl myself. |
| 22nd August 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Pastries in Lviv - From: Ukraine IV - Western Ukraine Mostly cakes and chocolate. Both of them were great. Ake and Emma |
| 20th August 2009 Reskaninen | More on the pastries! - From: Ukraine IV - Western Ukraine Sounds like Lviv was a nice stop - but how were the pastries? What kind did you have? |
| 17th August 2009 YankeeDoodle | haha - From: Ukraine I - Kiev it's really funny to see how other people see kyiv. I have lived here fro 2 years even though it feels like im from here. small things like calling Khrishatic just Khrishatic or the lavra or indapendance square not freedom square. and i know better than to swim in thr fountains cuz hobo's piss and bathe in them. ech.. anyways. i hope you enjoyed your stay in kyiv. i love it but it's a bit rough around the edges |
| 15th August 2009 Ake_och_Emma | ...and Khair means... - From: Yemen part II - Wadi Hadramawt ...and "khair" I have been told means "good" or possibly "goodness"... Thanks for telling us you liked it! /Ake and Emma |
| 12th August 2009 vitalyb | Great - From: Ukraine IV - Western Ukraine Thanks a lot for this great blog. I grew up in Lviv and was there last year first time in 13 years (I now live in the US). Your pictures and story brought back a lot of memories of my childhood, things we did, places we went... Thanks again! |
| 8th August 2009 Ken Kranhold | Great Story - From: Ukraine III - Gammalsvenskby I really enjoyed reading your about latest adventure. These Old Swedes have really endured some terrible times over the centuries. |

| 28th July 2009 Svante | Rackarns så nära skolstart - From: Ukraine I - Kiev Vad taskig jag är som påminner er om att det snart är dags att börja skolan igen men det är ju bara för att jag är så attans avundsjuk. För min del, eller kanske för min och Lenas del så försöker vi guppa oss (tolka oss rätt tack) ut på östersjöns blåa, ibland skitiga, algblommande östersjön. Efter vårens dåliga väder med köld och regn så började renovering av motor och slangar och så sent som den 8:e juli kom Olivia i sjön och den riktiga jungfruturen utanför skanshålet och inloppet till nyköping skedde den 24:e Juli. Synd och skam när man har en sådan farkost men än är inte sommaren slut så jag hoppas det blir mer. Ha det så bra Åke och Emma och fortsätt med bloggandet och se värrrrlden. Svante |
| 24th July 2009 Ake_och_Emma | De finns att köpa i Stockholm - From: India part III - a toilet museum Pee och Pooh finns att köpa i Stockholm. Åke |
| 24th July 2009 Reskaninen | Pee and Poo ... - From: India part III - a toilet museum This is where I don't mention the fact that a friend of mine has a girlfriend with the name Poo ... Fick ni med didär hem? Borde passa finfint till någon femåring i kiss- och bajsåldern. |
| 21st July 2009 Ahmad | Great Museum! - From: India part III - a toilet museum Hi Ake, great idea to put this as a topic of the blog. And great photos! Ahmad |

| 24th June 2009 Ake_och_Emma | The Inca trail were many trains - From: Peru part II - The Inca Trail The original Inca Trail was not one trail but a vast network of trails. It's like the road network of any country really. Most of these trails have either disappeared, been abandoned or have been turned into modern day roads. A few of the old roads in the Inca Trail road system have been restored to their original state, mostly for hiking purposes not so much for transport. The trail we took is the most popular one and is the one that most people refer to when they mention The Inca Trail. It is an old trail laid out as part of the Inca Trail System. When it was rediscovered it was cleared from debris and restored to its former state. So it is a real Inca Trail in the sense that it was used as a pilgrimage trail to reach Maccu Picchu. But it was not the only one. There were other trails leading to Maccu Picchu as well. Ake |
| 20th June 2009 Ian jeffry | OMG - From: Peru part II - The Inca Trail Is that the real Inca trail in Peru?? holy moly thats amazing |
| 29th April 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Stayed there very short time - From: Chongqing, Chengdu, Dazu and Hobbit Town (?) Hi, I stayed in Chongching only for a day so I didn't really have time to get to know the city. It is a big city and I found it hard to go around on my own. I got lost several times. I would have liked to stay longer because I think there is a lot more to see in Chongching than what I saw. Finding the interesting spots might be a bit difficult though. Ake |
| 26th April 2009 mist | what is your overall impression about Chongqing - From: Chongqing, Chengdu, Dazu and Hobbit Town (?) what is your overall impression about Chongqing |
| 26th January 2009 Ake_och_Emma | Thanks for the info - From: Russia part II - Back in the USSR Thank you for adding som information about the photos. I am also very glad you enjoyed reading it. Makes me a little proud actually... |
| 26th January 2009 val | communist monuments - From: Russia part II - Back in the USSR The one with the anchor is the monument to the Krasin icebreaker that sank in 1930's, the hand with a globe is the monument to the victims of the WWII and the tall structure with the Soviet Navy flag is dedicated to the Soviet Navy, i.e. its Northern Fleet. I was born and raised in Murmansk and I really like your blog. You speak plain and hit the nail right on the head. Cheers! |
| 22nd January 2009 Ake_och_Emma | It was quite OK - From: Oman part IV - Wahiba Sands and Ibri The combination was better than expected. Dates are sweet and sweets usually goes well with coffee |
| 22nd January 2009 Irene | Make a poster - From: Oman part III - the Doors in Sur You should ask the Tourist Office in Oman if they want to use your photos for nice posters, like the ones they've done in some cities in Europe! |
| 22nd January 2009 Irene | Coolt! - From: Oman part IV - Wahiba Sands and Ibri But ... "I like both coffee and dates" What kind of dates? :-D Seriously, don't they taste funny in combination? |
| 27th December 2008 Reskaninen | Frankincense - From: Oman Part I - Salalah and around So, frankincense exists IRL!? :-) Cool to have seen a tree. As an ex-salesperson of incense amongst other stuff, I must say that was the most interesting photo for me ... But then I've even seen Abraham's grave ... or at least I think that was it. Can't remember all those guys ;-) |
| 12th December 2008 anonymous | Hi There! - From: Yemen - Part III Hi |
| 28th August 2008 Irene | Titicaca vs Röda Havet - From: Bolivia En gång lyckades vi bada fötterna i såväl Röda som Döda havet pås amma dag. Det är också lite coolt, fast Titicaca är nog coolare. |
| 14th August 2008 Ake_och_Emma | Kan ligga något i det... - From: Peru part II - The Inca Trail Kan ligga något i att vi är "bloddopade". När jag joggade idag, efter 6 veckors uppehåll i träningen, var det benmusklerna som gav upp först inte hjärta och lungor. Kan det stämma med effekten av att vi varit på hög höjd en längre tid i kombination med att inte löptränat på länge? |
| 11th August 2008 Maria T | Dopade? - From: Peru part II - The Inca Trail .. det där kallas för höghöjdsträning! Är ni dopade nu? (Eller av vad??) ;-) (Jag hade länge "bra" kondis efter Mt Kenya..) / Maria |
| 18th July 2008 Jonna | Love U - From: Returning to Paris in 2008 Tack för en fantastisk resa tillsammans med er. Vi hade det jätte bra. Puss och kram från Jonna |
| 23rd June 2008 Ahmad | Cool Manhattan - From: USA - Part III What good pics of Manhattan, Ake....I enjoyed to see them!!! |
| 15th January 2008 Reskaninen | Grammar and dance - From: Rome - part III One graffitto - more graffitti. Juh. Och Pythagoras sats är utmärkt för dansare, som gärna vill veta hur många steg de har möjlighet att ta på diagonalen på en scen. Det var min anledning att lära mig den (förutom att det var en gammal grek som kom på den, då). |
| 29th December 2007 Reskaninen | Hälsa! - From: Rome - part I Hälsa Rom från mig och käka god pasta i Trastevere. En polare lyckades klättra in på Colosseum en sen natt och dricka whisky, vilket jag är evigt avundsjuk för, men jag antar att det inte känns som din grej att göra? Trevligt med hänglåset :-) |
| 18th August 2007 Ake_och_Emma | ...or maybe it was devils and demons... - From: Hell ...or maybe I accidentally left the gates to Hell wide open when I published the entry and devils and demons crawled out and swarmed over Travelblog and blackened all the photos... |
| 17th August 2007 Ake_och_Emma | The photos were black for a few hours - From: Hell The photos on Travelblog were all black for a few hours. But now they should be back again. Have a look! Ake |
| 16th August 2007 Malte Malaria & Ebbe Ebola | Is it dark in Hell? - From: Hell Just wonder were the photos are... or is it black in Hell? Maybe we should go there to enhance the situation for the inhabitants... make life more worth terrifying, for them and the for tourists, of course! |
