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.

A leap into a different world
What I didn't write about that bridge was that when we went there it was like leaping into a different world. It felt like we sort of went off the grid and got warped into a 1950-ies. The bridge in itself was part of it, they don't make bridges like that anymore, but the village at the end of the bridge was what really gave that impression. The streets were so narrow there that it feels like they predated car traffic. For a while we thought we were in an episode of the Twillight Zone. It really was a surreal experience. /Ake
