Town defences
Lina and father Jan , our host - checking the town defences.Sweden
We travelled from Copenhagen airport by train to Kristianstad to spend time with Janine's host AFS Swedish family. Jan and Boel live in the picturesque village of Osterslov, their house overlooking the lake. We were extremely well looked after and visited a varied range of interesting places in the surrounding area.
On the one day we were left to our own devices, we managed to get lost in Kristianstad on our way to meet Boel at work for lunch. Thank goodness for mobile phones! Eliza found her 'comfortable' sandals were crippling after 2 hours walking 😞 - she needed those feet for Squash a few days later!
There are lakes all over the Skane province - we visited several but of course don't remember the Swedish names.
Daughter Lina visited from Stockholm for the first few days and son Rasmus and his partner Danielle drove over from Gothenburg for the weekend.
Eliza left on Sunday morning for her flight from Copenhagen to Cologne for the World Masters Squash Champs and David and Jan went to Gothenburg for a few days with Rasmus and Danielle. David took the opportunity to meet up with Niklas, who was
Ahus near Kristianstad
Jan, Eliza, David, Boel... his AFS student 'son' 15 years ago. He is now an economics lecturer at the university there (having completed his PhD this year), is married and soon to become a Dad. David then caught the train to Lina's in Stockholm. He was impressed with all the copper roofs in Gothenburg and Stockholm but apparently their abundant copper supplies have been depleted.
David returned to Kristianstad via Hassleholm before leaving for his flight to join Eliza in Cologne.
