For me this trip was a homecoming As I went through the security checkpoint at Dulles International my mother said ldquoNow yoursquoll see if this is what you really want to do. Now yoursquoll know if you reall http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-346341.html Well I'm still not off. I just want to write something in order to welcome you possible subscribers to this travelblog. I think I've decided to keep this for now. We'll see what happens once I've arrived in Uganda. Kampala probably has decent internet connection but we don't know if we maybe will go somewhere else too. After all the country is big on safaris and hiking...I've completed a dam http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-340255.html Well hi thereNo I'm not off to Uganda just yet. I just have to try out this travelblog and see if it suits me. In Sweden resdagboken.se is the most common site for travellers who like to write about their journeys but I never really liked it and since I hopefully will write most of my entries in English so that you nonSwedes will be able to understand me as well I thought I'd try somethin http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-338667.html mbapep a friend from italy was here...and also party and party and people and music and so on... http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-334339.html new people....new situations... http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-325356.html E alla fine rieccomi qua aggiornamenti sempre nuovi e sempre sulle stesse frequenze.....insomma insomma come va sembra ke si debba inizaire a studiare qui...ke alla 4 settimana di lezione il che significa a tre settimane dal primo esonero mi sembra anke un po giusto....ma nn voglio tediarvi cn le mie vicende scolastiche anke xke nn c' nulla da tediarsi......cmq cmq...qst settimana sn stati http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-325354.html We've had our first guests and not only survived but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves The summer of 1982 was significant for me it was the year I got to know a foreigner. That's big stuff coming from a small town. Sure we had an exchange student when I was three but I barely remember Caesar Gomez. Ingrid Andenaes was my first foreign friend and she was exotic in all her tall Nordic beauty http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-324189.html I'm a 39 year old mother of three...how can I be bored Well just take away the house the car the job the friends school sports the commitments and you've got the perfect recipe for boredom...and nice fingernails. For the first time in my life my fingernails are strong long and pretty. I'd rather have them stubby and peeling if it meant I was refinishing an old piece of furniture.I can ju http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-320356.html Well here starts our first real travel news.As per usual nothing ever goes right on our trips.

I'm writing in english in this way everybody understands but i'm sorry for the mistakes. anyways a lot of news in my Swedes life. I went to stockholm and it's really a wonderful city i completely fell in love with Stockholm. It's built up on some islands so you can see the sea everywhere and you smell the typical sea fragrance and http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-318309.html With the 1st of September drawing ever so near I start to wonder if I have enough time to get things sorted out You know what itrsquos likehellip.

Aprs un voyage trop long je sui parti de Rome dimanche matin 6 et je suis arriv Gteborg city le soir 7 donc je suis arriv et la premire impression ke j'ai eu de la sude est que c http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-309470.html Stockholm to MalmoI managed to navigate the ticket machine at Stockholm's Central Station found the right platform and leapt on to the train. Found seat 67 and made myself comfortable. Ahhhh a nice couple of minutes to spare before we head out. All of a sudden I'm surrounded by a family trying to sit with me and put their luggage in the overhead compartment. Somehow I must have offended one http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-298856.html Dear Friends and RelativesI know I've been behind on writting my blogg which began on 22nd May to The Mediterranean but now I've got it together and hopefully while I'm in ALICANTE Spain YES that's where we are at this very moment. More details to arrive very soon with lots of lovely photo's from our trip's to alot of lovely places. So I hope you'll wait. If anyone is not interested in rece http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-298046.html I will say now I wish I were Swedish It's that simple. Okay my judgement may be misguided by the amazing weather I've had all the way up from Copenhagen. Blue sky and 25 degrees all the way with a little chill breeze which makes it bareable cycling but also probably has fooled me into getting an even worse roasting by the sun. But this coastline and the water is one of the nicest stretches I http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-284656.html Den sista dagen spenderade vi genom att frst shoppa i Hirakata och sen Toriki en sista gng. Efter det gick vi vidare till Peters lgenhet dr vi pratade t ramen och var allmnt... nere eftersom vi bara vntade p att ka hem. Somnade vid 04.30 och gick upp igen vid 05.00.

Well there's a first for everything.In the comming entries I will describe my next two major trips and possibly a lot of other stuff going on in my life as well. So where am I going thenFirst of all me an my friend Christian will spend two weeks on the Himalayas taking a mountineering course. We and seven others s http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-275900.html Just a quick entry. Hope everyone is well. After a fun ferry journey from Denmark complete with man and guitar and dancing drunk swedish pensioners we docked in Gteborg port. We're having a great time here in Sweden with our friends Camilla Rick and their 3 energetic children. Having continuously glorious weather and enjoying Swedish hospitality. Gtenburg is a lovely city and Camilla has an http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-273503.html Well I made it my big jump from Madrid to Stockholm and though it was only a three hour flight they are worlds apart as you would expect I guess. I spent a few nights in Stockholm doing all the tourist things you have to then I moved on to Goteberg. Stockholm is a very clean city in fact too clean the buildings are beautiful and everything is on islands and so green and grey I guess you http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-264792.html Okay so my second day in Gothenburg was interesting. The snowstorm wasn't as bad but it was still windy and cold. We left the apartment and took the tram to the Central Station. From there we walked around to find that the Chinese place we were going to have dinner at was no longer there. So we saw a few things like the Domkyrkan Mariakyrkan and some statues. I got to see the famous Avenue and http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-258964.html I arrived yesterday in Gothenburg. Angela described it to me as a really large Gamla Stan old city in Stockholm and I think she's right. This means I have so far decided I like Gothenburg. There are trams and busses which reminds me of Brussels. Robin's Dad's apartment has a great view and I can see the bridge that crosses the ocean. Anyway the only hitch in the visit is that there is a snowst http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-258269.html A little while ago the weekend of 2 February actually so I'm richly late in publishing this blog as usual I went on a weekend to Gteborg. Some might not know this but it is actually the second largest city in Sweden. I knew someone who lived there and just to beat smart comments to the punch yes it is through a computer game drunken gaming can be cool who invited me over and who am I to http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Sweden/Vastra-Gotaland/Gothenburg/blog-246621.html
