Bonjour à tous, Je vous disais hier que Tranas était une ville morte. Ça c’était à 5 heure du soir. Mais ici aussi il y avait la fête de fin d’étude des étudiants. Vers 10h30 après avoir regardé un match et lu un moment’ je me suis endormi comme une masse. Mais vers minuit le bordel a commencé. Mes fenêtres donnant sur la place du village, j’ai eu droit à toute la panoplie. Klaxon, musique à fond, cris, chants, pétards, etc. Ce qui fait qui fait que jusqu à près de 4 heure je n’ai fait que sommeiller. Hier au soir j’avais mis mon pc en réinitialisation avant d’aller souper, mais ici les prises secteur sont munies d’un interrupteur, et sans m’en rendre compte, je ne sais comment j’ai du le fermer à mon retour la ... read more

Thursday 3rdMay 2018 Well, after a hectic two days in London seeing friends and the musical Chess, we left for Gatwick early on the 3rd May and after the Campervan on the M25, bus, airplane, bus, train, subway and funicular, eventually reached our Airbnb about 7.00pm (Swedish time!) in the rain! We have bought a travelpass, at the Information Point at the airport, for 220Seks each (over 65’s) which is about £21.00 for 7 days unlimited travel on the buses, trains and ferries. Very clear instructions of how to get to the Airbnb, which was just as well as it was quite a complicated journey, made very easy! After a delicious meal of chicken and vegetables cooked by Erika, had a quick walk around the lake for 40mins – nice views! Friday 4th May 2018 It ... read more

Sunday, 25th March 2018 After breakfast at the hotel this morning, we took the Tunnelbanan to Kungstradgarden Station where we transfered to Tram #7 to the ABBA Museum. Kungstradgarden could be nice to visit during the spring season when the hundreds of sakura trees would blossom in unison to usher into the warm season. Tram #7 is the only tramline in service in Stockholm city. It provides a direct linkage from the Central District to Djurgarden, a museum island located off the east side of the city. We chose to stop by at the ABBA Museum since I was (am still) a big fan of their upbeat songs having watched the Mama Mia Musical in London as well as dancing to their music during our brief clubbing days when we were younger. We did not choose ... read more

Up early again for another trip to Stockholm by transit. Made it to our first stop which was a 2 1/2 hour archipelago boat tour. This was fantastic. The weather was perfect and we sailed out of the inner harbour out to the inner archipelago. There are 30,000 islands in this area but we did not see them all (only most of them). This area is cottage country for the locals (although increasingly people are making them year-round homes). They take their cars on ferries and spend their summers on these islands. If they don't have a summer home, they might have a boat and island hop for several weeks at a time. Sweden has a law regarding property that states that anyone can go on any land (as long as they do not do damage ... read more
