Paris 2012

May 26th 2012
Long lines and dead people - that's what we saw in Paris When Emma’s oldest niece, Jonna, turned 5 in 2007 Aunt Emma, Aunt Anna and Uncle Ake gave her a trip to Paris and a visit to Disneyland. You can read about that in the blog entrywe made then. This year Emma’s youngest niece, Julia, turned 5 and, since they are both equally dear to us, Julia received the same gift, a trip to Paris a ... read more

Ake Och Emma

We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them. Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are Angel Falls in Ven... full info

We visited this cemetery when we were in Paris. It was awesome, & being a cold/rainy day, it set the right mood ;o)

Paris has so many nice cemeteries
There are so many interesting cemeteries in Paris that you could probably spend a week and still not see them all. One of the more interesting ones is strictly not a cemetery at all though, it's an ossary. It is an old abandoned mine where they put the skeletons of Parisians who died but whose graves had to be dug up because the plot had to be reused for a new grave. Maybe a million skeletons are in the caves. I recommend a visit there if you haven't seen it. /Ake
