För er som såg mig på TV i helgen och trodde ni hallucinerade... var inte oroliga.. det var jag! **** Åkte hem för att dömma Fed Cup i tennis i Helsingborg, Sverige mot Ukraina. Tyvärr så förlorade Sverige 2-3 men det var bra och jämna matcher och det var super trevligt att få träffa hela domargänget! Vi bodde på Marina Plaza Elite Hotel i Helsingborg. Efter jobb på lördagen så var vi ett gäng som bastade, bastun låg på översta våningen med fönster över sundet, lyx! Sedan gick vi ut och åt tillsammans hela gänget på kvällen. Efter härlig hotellfrukost (med bland annat pannkakor och nutella!) så blev det dömning igen. Efter matchslut åkte jag hem med m+p+vic och vi åt god söndagsmiddag. Jag packade och sov sedan alldeles för få timmar. 04:15 ringde klockan. 05.35 ... read more

Ondanks het feit dat de wind afnam, heeft deze nog goed met men tent gespeeld de voorbije nacht. Het gevolg hiervan is dat ik weinig geslapen heb en in zombiemodus verkeer. Ik rijd richting Halmstad waar ik inkopen doe. Bij Netto vind ik niet al men spullen dus ik zal nog eens moeten shoppen. Nog even langs de bib voor online te kunnen. Dit is een best een modern gebouw. Er komen ook nog wat studenten langs die voor hun ontgroening allerlei stunten uithalen. Bij eentje dat me passeert kan ik men lach niet meer inhouden. Na de 2de supermarkt begint de echte dagrit. Ik volg wat fietsbordjes die me over geïsoleerde fietspaden Zuidwaarts voeren. Deze zijn zeer rustig maar niet direct de kortste weg. In Laholm vind de lunch plaats waarna ik meer op de ... read more

Poza rakami, Szwedzi lubia tez jesc losie. Po drodze na lotnisko, wyjechawszy 1,5h pozniej niz pierwotnie bylo planowane, ale jednoczesnie na tyle wczesnie, zeby miec troche czasu w zapasie, zajechalismy do rezerwatu losi, na safari, gdzie z samochodu mozna wypatrywac okazy. W Szwecji zyje 350.000, co czyni ja najbardziej losiowo-zageszczonym krajem swiata. Z tego, co roku odstrzeliwane jest 90.000. Inaczej, w Szwecji byloby wiecej losi niz ludzi - jezeli przyjac ze z tych 350.000, 150.000 stanowia samice w wieku rozrodczym, a kazda co roku rodzi blizniaki, w jednym roku przybyloby 200.000 osobnikow, co by dalo populacje 550.000, z tego 200.000 w wieku rozrodczym daloby juz 400.000 mlodych w nastepnym roku etc etc. A w wypadkach ginie tylko 5.000 rocznie. Problem polega na tym, ze losie sa wysokie, wiec wpadajace na nie auto podcina im nogi i ... read more

This past weekend I found myself being whisked off to Sweden! Bright and early Saturday morning I was at Frue Plads ready to enjoy the Swedish wilderness. We started by driving to Helsingør, Danmark and taking the wicked fast ferry over to Helsingborg, Sweden. From there we bussed to a small river. There we decided that despite the drizzle, cool winds, and lack of sun that it would be a great idea to canoe upriver for three hours. It actually turned out to be better because it stopped drizzling five minutes in....but....if you want to turn your arms into jelly: canoe upstream into the wind for three hours and make sure you don't know how to steer so you zigzag most of the way there. Fool proof plan. Next, we headed for our hostel which was ... read more

So Jamie has been doing a lot of work on this blog and I thought I would take some time off of her hands :) Plus Shana and I got the experience to go to the symphony in Helsingborg, Sweden along with the Louisiana Art Museum in Denmark. What a day it was! Then the next day it was up to the top of the windmill - our clothes got a little dirty but it was very worth the climb - Enjoy the pictures - we are :) Beth... read more

Life in a van, life in a camperrrrrvan, la le la…..sounds like a song! (Or we have been on the bottle again). Well it has now been 6 weeks living in the van and we have become real campervan people…now to be known as (alias) Fred and Dora Brown. Not sure if that is a good thing or not. Anyway be that as it may we are having an absolute ball with the freedom that this lifestyle presents. We started out planning at least 3 days ahead, this became 1 day and now well we decide when we wake up if we should move on or not! Although please do not get us wrong we have a rough idea of where we are heading, of sorts. Vikings, Volvos, blondes, Abba and Ikea, yes this is Sweden ... read more

We took the night ferry from Helsingor, Denmark to Helsingborg, Sweden. This was a result of all rooms beig sold out in Helsingor. One of the downfalls of traveling without a plan is not having a hotel waiting for you. We have continued to have problems locating hotels in Denmark. It seems that the whole country is having conventions. The only site we took in before getting on the train to Olso was the Helsinborg Slott. We will be coming back to Sweden once we explore Norway.... read more
