| 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! |
| 13th August 2007 Reskaninen | Me too :-) - From: Trondheim Indeed, I went there too, but took different pictures :-) Very nice town, I must say. Since links are stripped here, no use of putting the direct link here, but it's on my travelblog. |
| 30th July 2007 Caroline E | - From: Venezuela part VI - the end of our trip Vilken fantastisk resa. Tack för att vi andra får ta del av den! |
| 17th July 2007 Ake_och_Emma | Färg på vattnet/colour of the water - From: Venezuela part V - The Angel Falls Vattnet i Sapo-fallet har fått sin färg av ett ämne som heter Tannin på engelska. Det är ett ämne som förekommer rikligt i växter och träd som lever i dessa trakter. Speciellt Bonnetiaträdet är väldigt rikt på Tannin. Faktum är att färgen är mer dramatisk än man ser på bilderna. Vattnet har nästan samma färg som Coca-Cola. The water in Sapo waterfall has been coloured by a substance called Tannin. Tannin is abundant in plants and trees around there. Especially the Bonnetia tree is very rich on Tannin. The colouring is actually even more dramatic than what you can see in the pictures. The water actually reminds very much of Coca-Cola. |
| 11th July 2007 Regine | WOW! - From: Venezuela part V - The Angel Falls Hi guys! How are you doing? Great great pictures from the Angel Falls!!! Could you do me a huge favour and write me the infos about Angel Falls. With which company did you book the tour and how much was it? - Well will take some more month until I will go back to Venezuela but good to have a little idea where to start:) Lots of love and send you a mail soon;) Take care xxx regine |
| 10th July 2007 panna | idrottsgymnasiet.se - From: Venezuela part V - The Angel Falls Hej Åke & Emma Vilket fantastiskt äventyr ni får vara med om. Jag har följt er resa genom nätet. Jag önskar er en trrevlig fortsättning på resandet. Själv förbereder jag min skola Idrottsgymnasiet.se till hösten. Har varit i Aten en liten sväng är nu hemma i stockholm igen. Regn och åter regn.

| 10th July 2007 Reskaninen | Lite avis - From: Venezuela part V - The Angel Falls Coolt ställe! Och så skönt att det finns flygplatser där de inte får hicka om man typ har skägg ... även om jag inte har ngt. Men hur kommer det sig att vattenfallet är så brunt? Mineraler? Jord bland vattnet? |
| 9th July 2007 Harvey Follender | We survived the flight between Addis Ababa and Jinka - From: Venezuela part V - The Angel Falls Hey, we survived the flight between Addis Ababa and Jinka in Ethiopia and since then nothing can scare us... I KNOW what you mean !!!!! I was with you. |
| 8th July 2007 Nicole y Paul | Los Llanos trip - From: Venezuela part II -Los Llanos Wauw!!! Good pictures! |
| 6th July 2007 Harvey Follender | Ice cream parlour - From: Venezuela part III - Merida The ice cream parlour sounded great. Corn ice cream. Wow!!! |
| 4th July 2007 Harvey Follender | Golden era of American car industry - From: Venezuela part IV - Petrol and cars I enjoyed seeing the cars. I haven't seen so many American cars in years. |
| 4th July 2007 Peter Weiss | Thirsty Cars - From: Venezuela part IV - Petrol and cars Some of those car models you photographed aren't all that thirsty compared to many American cars. Of course, to someone from Sweden they are all awful, but actually some of these older ones got better mileage than you'd think. What is really awful is that the newer ones often get worse mileage than the old ones. Look around at all the Hummers in Venezuela, they are truly terrible. And they're not even real HumVees, they are Yukons tricked out to look like HumVees. Just stupid plastic imitations that do nothing but suck gas. But as long as gas is cheaper than water in V., they will drive them. |
| 3rd July 2007 Hanna | Grattis!!! - From: Venezuela part II -Los Llanos Jag vet inte om mitt sms gick fram, men hur som helst: Grattis Emma och har en superkul resa! Jag läser bloggen med spänning och är INTE avis ;o) |
| 2nd July 2007 Malin | - From: Venezuela part II -Los Llanos Hej och Grattis i efterskott, verkar vara en annorlunda födelsemiddag, Hoppas den smakade! Kul att läsa och titta på bilderna:) Ha det gott:) |
| 2nd July 2007 Caroline | Grattis Emma! - From: Venezuela part II -Los Llanos Otroligt coolt! Och GRATTIS EMMA! Vilken födelsedag du hade! Wow. |
| 27th June 2007 Carina | - From: Venezuela part I - Caracas, Maracaibo and Coro Jättetrevlig, välskriven och intressant läsning som gör arbetsmiljön i konferensrummet (har inget kontor längre) på STI lite trevligare:-) Sköt om er!! Carina |
| 7th June 2007 Peter Håkansson | Interesting - From: Hill of Crosses Hi Åke (and Emma)! Long time, no seen. It´s always interesting reading about your travels. Thank you for sharing them with me and my fellow earthlings :-) Actually I've been as far away as Stavanger this year... Going to Toscana in August though. Have rented a house there together with nine friends. Looking forward to visiting Firenze, sunbathing by the house's pool and enjoying visits at the local wineyards. Have it! :-) |
| 2nd June 2007 Harvey Follender | Amazing - From: Hill of Crosses The whole idea is amazing and the photos are great. |
| 29th May 2007 Maria T | Skål! - From: Emma drinking beer Skål Emma! Det händer även oss.. (fast de senaste åren har det av olika anledningar inte blivit särskilt mycket av någon sort..) |
| 28th May 2007 Irene | Gladast vid störst! - From: Emma drinking beer Det syns ju helt klart när Emma är gladast: ju större ölglas, desto gladare! Utenos verkar ha varit en höjdare :-) /Irene, som också råkar ut för samma sak. Juicen går till mig. |
| 2nd April 2007 Alexandra | - From: A couple of hours in Tallinn Ah! Old Tallin, one of my favorite places. I have not been back there for at least 10 years. It's so nice to see it even in pictures. Good job Ake!!!! P.S. (i'm back from China) |
| 1st April 2007 Marita Gillberg | Vilka vackra hus! - From: A couple of hours in Tallinn Vilka vackra hus! det verkar att vara fullt njutbart at vandra omkring i den miljö du just nu befinner dig i. Hälsningar Marita |
| 24th March 2007 james | nice work - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west I love the stories and the pictures. I would like to hear about the wadi bana area and see some pictures to. thanks for the great job |
| 10th March 2007 Ahmad | Great photos and great story!!! - From: Chongqing, Chengdu, Dazu and Hobbit Town (?) Ake, when are going back home to Stockholm. You were in Yemen yesterday and now you are in China. ANyway-Thanks again for all your great stories mate... Ahmad |
| 6th March 2007 xiaoqing | just say hello to you and Emma - From: Welcome to Emma's and Ake's webblogg Hello!!! |
| 1st March 2007 Irene | Gratulerar(?) - From: The Gorges are Gorgeous Gôtt att du fick sett en del innan det dränktes helt, iaf! Man får liksom lite perspektiv på mängden människor när en miljon bara flyttas på, sådär. Läste idag om en "liten" stad i INdien, där det bor 750 000 personer. |
| 17th January 2007 ken cox | good entertainment.....and cheap! - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west I very much enjoy reading of your adventures Ake. Keep them coming! Angie, my youngest daughter, will finish her work in marketing organic, free trade coffee in Costa Rica in October. We are then putting a trip together for our own adventure to Peru.....Machu Picchu, the altiplano of the Andes, and Lake Titicaca. I will keep you updated from time to time. Rergards to Emma. Take care and keep truckin'......... Cheers, Ken |
| 11th January 2007 Irene | Al-quaida - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west Actually, Al-qaida only means "the Grammar", which is the way of leading your life, so it's nothing strange with that. And "taliban" means student :-) Talking of coffee, I've got a stash in the freezer waiting for your arrival. |
| 11th January 2007 alice | wonderful! - From: Yemen part IV - The south and the west The blogs get better and better. I will miss reading them. thank you for all the vibrant details. Enjoy your coffee, and keep us posted on your next wanderings. Alice |
| 7th January 2007 Joe P | - From: Welcome to Emma's and Ake's webblogg The people of Yemen in your pictures are beautiful, Harvey. |
| 6th January 2007 Irene | Älgskylt? - From: Yemen part II - Wadi Hadramawt Har du inte snott med dig en kamelskylt hem? Vore lite kul att byta ut en älgskylt ngnstans mot en kamelskylt :-D Är också nyfiken på folk: hur verkar vanligt folk leva? Är det många rika och många fattiga, eller tycks de flesta ha en kamel och ett gevär, typ? Har ni varit på marknad? *nyfiken* Men som vanligt underbara bilder! |
| 5th January 2007 Janine | Thank you!! - From: Yemen - Part III Great stories and great pics. I am a friend of the Follenders and have enjoyed staying informed of all of your adventures!! Have safe travels home. |
| 5th January 2007 Vandy | Pics - From: Welcome to Emma's and Ake's webblogg Harvey, loved the pics. All, be safe. |
| 2nd January 2007 Marita och Åke | Problem är till för att lösas - From: Yemen - Part III Yemen- ett land omöjligt för mig att besöka.Hårda linser+sand och blåst=omöjligt.Jag skulle inte vara seende i många minuter. Tur att jag får vara med på resan såhär på avstånd. |
| 2nd January 2007 Mauricio | Thanks for the updates - From: Yemen - Part III Thanks for putting all of the photos up. They are very interesting. I'm a friend of Ivan's from way back. Please say hello to the Follenders for me! |
| 2nd January 2007 alice | - From: Yemen - Part III Ake: I feel like I've been visiting Yemen, without the dust! thank you. I can't wait for the next installment. You have a real gift with words, considering english isn't your first language. |
| 31st December 2006 alice | - From: Yemen part II - Wadi Hadramawt what can you tell us about the women in Yemen? How about photos of harvey and Ivan? What are you eating and what are your sleeping arrangements? Keep up the journal; it's great. |
| 30th December 2006 Marita och Åke | Gott nytt 2007 - From: Yemen part II - Wadi Hadramawt Arkitekturen är onekligen intressant! Det är roligt och givande att få följa med dig på din resa på detta överskådliga och för oss bekväma sätt. Ett gott 2007 önskar vi dig. Hälsningar Marita och Åke |
| 30th December 2006 Marita och Åke | Gott nytt år - From: Photos Yemen Part I Är vi nordbor huvudlösa i deras ögon? Tack för bilderna och ett gott 2007 önskar vi dig. Hälsningar Marita och Åke |
| 28th December 2006 Happy Home | Enlightened - From: Yemen part II - Wadi Hadramawt I'm not sure why one would consider rude sharing with a fellow traveller a factor of some import bearing upon their travel. The explanations and the photos together are a learning experience. I knew almost nothing about Yemen, and now, just a bit more. There was a time when N. Yemen was aligned with the west. I wonder if you see any evidence of the former alliances. So far, you've said almost nothing about the people (except for the bedouin) -- I'm thinking about Harvey's holiday card. I'm looking forward to more of this fascinating travelog. Btw, I didn't get the point of the "emergency" travel documents. Obviously, y'all made it in country. Take care. |
| 28th December 2006 Aleso | Thanks - From: Why play things safe... Ake, thanks for creating and writing the blog. My uncle Harvey is great at sending a postcard (post trip) but we never get the real story! |
| 27th December 2006 Marita och Åke | Fortsatt "god tur" - From: Why play things safe... Hej Åke! Fortsatt lyckosam resa alla prövningar till trots. Vi ser fram emot att få ta del av din fortsatta resa. Här hemma är det varmt och gott. Var det midsommarafton eller var det julafton som vi nyss firade????Hälsningar ifrån Getskär |
| 26th December 2006 Maria T | God fortsättning! - From: Why play things safe... Snyggt jobbat!! Nog för att jag rest och dragit alla möjliga historier, men inte utan pass... (och önskar nog närmare bestämt inte att göra det heller, nödvändigtvis..) God fortsättning! Maria, Daniel o Axel |
| 25th December 2006 Ove Dahllof | Jul. - From: Why play things safe... Juldagen har kommit med sol och lite frost på marken. I går, på julafton, blev det som vanligt tomte och paketer. En del av de sistnämnda innehöll tv-spel, som senare blev flitigt använda. Vi åker hem till Källby annandagen på förmiddagen. Alla hälsar. |
| 24th December 2006 Emma | GOD JUL - From: Why play things safe... Min 4 timmar försenade tågresa till Laholm är inte mycket att komma med i detta sammanhang... Om jag åkt med till Yemen hade jag nog fått en hjärtattack innan vi ens närmat oss Istanbul! Hoppas att allt är bra med er. Hälsa Harvey och Ivan, och ta det försiktigt. /Emma |
| 24th December 2006 Peter Weiss | Hooray Yemen - From: Why play things safe... I think it's great how helpful and friendly all the Yemeni authorities have been in facilitating your visit to their country. I am sure you will have the best time there. Sadly, a self-described "Swedish dork without a passport or visa" would never be able to come to the USA under such circumstances, though there are many of us who are working to change that. Have a wonderful trip! |
| 24th December 2006 Bruce Martin | Wow - What a Writer - From: Why play things safe... Ake, You did a great job in describing your travel paper circumstances. You should consider writing a article about your trip for a magazine like "Outside" or the "mens Journal". You are a very gifted author. Really looking forward to more comments. Keep up the great work. |
| 18th December 2006 Mats A | I al qaidas spår - From: Welcome to Emma's and Ake's webblogg Yemen!?Var det inte därifrån de långskäggiga attackerade ett amerikanskt krigsskepp? Frågan är Åke - vilken sida är du? Är du CIA-agent eller isalmsk aktivist? Eller kan det vara så att du bara vill till ett ställe där du är ensam "turist". Det lutar väl åt det senare om jag känner dig rätt. Hur som hellst!-Trevlig resa! Det blir säkert spännande. För att det inte ska bli för spännande kanske du officiellt ska ha konverterat först? (Fats det gör väl ont? -har för mig att du är lika religiös som mig) Take care man! Mats |
