I'll try and get some info to you on email. Having probs with internet at home, so will have to get something to you whilst i'm at work.

I bet you are in your camperwagon now as I am typing my BLOG,The photos are fantastic from Sydney .The harbour especially,I remember seeing Billy Connelly on the bridge, fantastic,I really envy you ,there are also some lovely photos of you two , you both look really great, I think I said this in the last blog. Here is some different news from home, Katy has won the northern section of a 'FIGHT RACISM IN FOOTBALL' and goes thru to the last 8 nationwide, she had to write an essay and did it without anyone knowing , she got presented on the Valley Parade pitch with a scvroll from the FA with The England managers signature. Then after the game she went hunting autographs and MARK BOWER signed his shirt and gave her it! GOOD LUCK ,thanks again for yet another fab blog xxxx
Hej Maja o Steve. Det var länge sedan jag läste er blog. Trodde att ni hade lagt ned den, men det var kanske bara tillfälligt. Det är härligt att läsa om era fantastiska äventyr och så jätteroligt att ni har fått jobb på skidort! Fina foton och ni ser väldigt hälsosamma ut. Det verkar som att ni under resandet också blir bekanta med många olika sorters matkulturer. Det är ju också spännande men med erfarenheten från Egypten (montezumas hämd i 1 vecka efter hemkomsten) så undrar jag ju vad magarna säger! Jag jobbar på som vanligt och nu börjar det dra ihop sig för ordförandeskap i EU för Sverige. Det inträffar vid halvårsskiftet så det blir förmodligen ett intensivt halvår. Tack för det fina vykortet. Jag vill gärna ha fler!
WE ARE ENVIOUS We are envious of you. We think you have a wonderful time seeing lots of interesting things.But things are not so bad here spring has come with a wonderful sun and the snow is disappearing a little every day. Yesterday we went to buy flowers
outdoor flowers:we keep them in the green-house for the first weeks.We have nice neighbours.They help us with a lot of things, changing tyres,coming with fresh asparagus soup and so on.I have troubles with my eyes, small troubles, so I have to finish my
comment and wish you all the best;both of you!Grandma Karin
Well done. Well done for getting the jobs. I bet you will meet some very interesting people. You seem to be packing an awful lot into your trip. We all get really excited when we get the blogs, they are very well written.You will have to help me rewrite my diaries from Iraq when you get back.I am so pleased that everything is going well for you. Take care. Love Grandma.
Jealous Wow - the blog is great as usual. You should think about writing a book Maja. Australia looks fab and I'm glad you're making the most of it. Shame it's so far away cos it's a place i'd like to visit. You both look soooo well. Must've got something in my eye when I was looking at you both - they wouldn't stop watering! Be careful in NZ - I know you want to do some crazy, scarey things, but you need to be fit for your new jobs. Going out to lunch today with mum, Leah and Linda to celebrate my new job. Won't be as exotic as the food you've been eating but will be nice as we're going to Wendy's cafe (Jane's sister) - fab home cooked nosh! Speak soon, Love Mum xxx
snow and snow again here in skelleftea We like the pictures you sent us from a beautiful landscape with green trees and eternal summer.Yesterday it was snowing here .horizontal because of the storm and it is so cold that the snow does not disappear.But our crocus is blooming behind the snow
.Of cause we are glad that you have got a job and send you all the best wishes. Karin and Enar
Congratulations Well done you two - I'm sooo pleased for you. It would have been a shame to have to come home earlier than you wanted to. Another fantastic experience for you to try. I'm sure you'll do a great job. You'll have to give me some interview tips! Love Mum xx
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus thats a long blog! Like I havent heard enough of your holiday! There is only you 2 that could pick up a souvenir made of elephant turd and not know about it! Lol and shithead is an awesome game! Very jealous you've been to see Steve's memorial, brings back memories of wrestling plastic crocodiles in Mexico..... 9 weeks on Monday I can reminisce! Wooooop! Glad you're having a good time. Sneak Oscar some of those steaks back, I know he's not a dog but he's the size of a small to average shetland pony these days! He'd love it! Hope to see a blog on Sydney soon.... pronounced Syd-ey-ney at our house! See you soon. Miss you x x x
Hi from Shelf Hi kids, fabulous blog - Australia looks amazing. Hope you can earn some dosh and spend a bit more time there. I've played shithead on the train going to London with the managers from work - it's a good game isn't it. Went to Helen and Steve's on Easter Sunday. Clare n Barry brought 'lamb henry's' slow cooked in their aga - mmm the lamb melted in your mouth - you would have loved it. Bet you get to eat some nice food in Aussie. Good luck with the job hunt. xxx

påsk Hej! Hoppas ni har det bra där borta. Jag är som sagt i Skellefteå. Det är en solig påsk med väldigt mycket snö. Igår var vi ute på en biltur i mor och fars fotspår. Idag ska vi grilla korv ute i snödrivan vid lilla stugan. Jag har fått igång skype här upp nu så vi kan pratas vid. Kram till er båda från oss alla.
Almost there! Hi Ma, been driving like mad the last 3 days but only about 100 miles to go! We're in Harvey Bay now, short trip to Noosa tomorrow for a surfing lesson then Brisbane on Sunday where we'll stay for a few days....
Hello from Shelf Hiya, fab pictures as usual. Nice hair cut Maja, you look fantastic. You both look so well. Blimey what about your near miss - I did something similar when I went on a holiday to Jersey with the girls. It's really scarey isn't it. So glad luck was on your side and you made it to Australia which sounds great from what you've seen so far. Good luck with the long journey ahead - BE CAREFUL! xx
Oj vilken morgon Hej!
Vilken cirkus det måste ha varit i morse när ni upptäckte att er resa till Australien avgick från Singapore samma kväll och 3 dagar tidgare än ni trodde. Det verkar ju trots allt som ni klarat pärsen och är framme på flygplatsen tack och lov. Vi ser fram emot att följa er resa i Australien. Var rädda om er. Stor kram från Erik och Kristina
Haha..thanks Dad! Dont worry we'll be on the main roads all the way, dont fancy any crocadile dundee business! The Brits had to surrender cos they were all geared up for an attack from the sea to the south and the japs came by surprise via Malaysia from the north behind them...guns all facing the wrong way! Here endeth the lesson haha
Hi from Shelf WOW - some of the best photos yet. Malaysia looks fabulous and you two look great. Glad everythings ok. Thank you for the Moonpig card Stephen - it was a real surprise, especially as I'd already got one from you! Good luck with the travelling. Love Mum x
Hello from Ma n Pa Hi kids,I'm having a bit of bother with lap top this is third attempt,hope you are both well ,everythings well at home now that the suns shining ,its the first bit of sunshine since you've been gone!Hows it going in tea bag town? Must be a shock to you if its a lot cooler than what you have been used to,I can't imagine having too much sunshine but I suppose you must do eventually.Mum had agreat interview with the fire brigade but should have heard something today so she doesn't think she's got the job now which would be a shame,because she really fancied it. Who are the Dutch couple you met they sound really nice.Have you bought some new undies yet ,you've only just left Thailand and you're already planning another months holiday there.Chelsea v Liverpool again in Europe 5 seasons on trot you might be watching it in Australia ,that would be something! Can't wait to see the eagle photos text me as soon as youi send them see you soon xxxxxxxxxx
