Okej, nu har vi packat och fixat hela dan och har förhoppningsvis läget under kontroll. Trodde packningen skulle bli större, men vi har nog allt vi behöver och så får vi ju plats med souvenirer. Stefan har idag köpt lite prylar till kameran, minneskort, stativ till mobilen så vi båda kan vara med på fotot och tre olika linser för att ta vidvinkelbilder och närbilder. Det blir nog bra det. Vi ger ett stort tack till pappa Bide' som igår upptäckte ett fel i våra resedokument. Mitt namn Cecilia saknades (varför ska man ha sitt tilltalsnamn sist?!) men nu har vi pratat med Norwegian och det ska förhoppningsvis va lugnt när vi pratat med Kilroy imorrn. Kul att så många frågat om att få följa vår blogg och det är alltså här vi kommer att skriva ... read more

I'm lucky to have friends from many places across the globe, and there is one particular friend who had always told me about her Swedish Crayfish parties! At first I thought it was something unique to her and something she did with her friends, until I later realised it is a national event celebrated all over Sweden! Ten years on, I made it to one of these feasts! Landing in Copenhagen, it was very easy to take a train across to Kristianstaad in Sweden, where I was reunited with buddies from my Hong Kong days. A drive further south took us to Maglehelem near the coast, and to Hanna's holiday farm house where she spent many summers growing up. It's brilliant to be able to travel to remote parts of Sweden quite easily from London where ... read more

Running hiking trails in Kullaberg Peninsula in Skåne A few years ago we visited an art installation called Nimis in Skåne District in Sweden. We will tell more about Nimis further down because it is an interesting story hiding there. This year over Easter we had the chance to revisit Kullaberg and we now also had time to see more of the nature reserve. We combined the visit in the nature reserve with training so we hope you are OK with seeing photos of us running. Through Kullaberg Nature Reserve there are many hiking trails. The ones we followed were easy to walk and clearly marked. You walk those routes primarily to experience nature. Apart from nature there are a few other things you can do/places you can visit: • Mölle - a seaside resort with ... read more

There’s really not much to write, because we treated this time unashamedly as R&R after what was always going to be the most tiring part of the trip. I was starting to become very noisy with coughing fits, and spent a lot of time doing very little. Thought about visiting a local doctor but was pretty sure that this was a virus, so what can you do? A couple of walks around their neighbourhood and a family cycling excursion down to a waterside café (past the park where Matt plays footy, goalposts still up and perplexing the locals) were about as active as we got. Matt and Nelly were so welcoming, setting up their living room as our bedroom each night, feeding us very well and letting us play with their children (!) Gracie and Mike ... read more

Gestern habe ich wieder gut gefruehstueckt. Es gab Corn Flakes, Butter und warme weiche Eier. Alles prima. Danach bin ich zum Stockholmer Hauptbahnhof und habe dort im Starbucks auf meinen Zug gewartet. Ziel war Malmö. Nach Malmö möchte ich weiter nach Göteborg und Kopenhagen. Die geographisch unlogische Reihenfolge erklärt sich aus den merkwurdig hohen Hotelpreisen in Göteborg in den Tagen zuvor, also in der Zeit, die ich in jetzt Malmö verbringe. Also nehme ich halt 3 weitere Stunden im Zug in Kauf. Die Fahrt verlief abgesehen von ein paar technischen Problemen und einer daraus resultierenden Verspätung problemlos. Der Zug war komfortabel und das WLAN funktionierte einwandfrei. In Malmö hatte ich wieder ein ordentliches Hotel in Fussreichweite vom Bahnhof. Fuer die Sauna war es zu spät, daher habe ich nach den Nachrichten, in denen die Muenchner Geschichte ... read more
