Bed&Breakfast "Gamla Skolan" Kil

... br><br>We had a delicious meal at Cafe Vero in a sunny courtyard (yes it had struggled to wake up but was creeping through the clouds) and then headed via the supermarket to our campsite, Bomstad Baden, on Lake Vanern. This is a very large site, with about 500 pitches and many of them either taken by permanent vans or by happy campers. It has a pretty large beach on the lake. <br> <br>And bless little Jasper was a little grumplicious today (thanks Ada for that fab word ...

... we have been to and driven past. I lost as per usual! <br><br>So some things about Sweden:<br><br>* Where do you find full strength beer? They only sell a maximum of 3.5% at the supermarkets. I think we will need to check out the state run alcohol shops - System Bolaget, set up to minimise drinking - LOL<br>* Roads here are as expected well maintained and great for cruising<br>* Swedes seem to be ...

... the country houses were mostly like grand homesteads with perfectly manicured lawns and grounds. It is clear the Swedes take immense pride in their rural presentation. Not a single rusty old Volvo shell to be seen......<br><br>To top off a wonderful drive we ended up at an absolutely stunning campsite right on Lake Vanern, Duse Udde. With only a handful of other campers, again we pretty much have the place to ourselves. <br><br>Too funny, Jasper's bath here is a red sports car!

... key in hand, the boys headed over early in the morning to crank up the wood fire and get the oven heated. Joined by Johan&#8217;s dad Krister and his girlfriend Deborah, we spent the afternoon cranking out lots and lot of warm flat bread&#8230;. Good stuff! We were a mess, but loved making it. Krister and Deborah had us over to their beautiful lake side summer house for dinner where we learned about all the local fishies. Johan took Stopher out ...

... work time in Sweden and Norway as the camping grounds and hostel have been really empty. The public transport options here are awesome, you can take a bus anywhere, the trains work, and the city provide a free cycle hire service. There are bicycles everywhere, hundreds of them. NZ really needs to take a lesson from this. Yesterday I went to another museum and learnt about some Varmland history, and called my family from a payphone outside the tourist office, then bought a watch ...

... our Sweden through the groupstage, where it all came to an end, but our trip had just started and we went on to explore other parts of europe for 16 days. The countries we paid a visit were Italy, France, Spain, England and Scotland. My next trips will be a cruise to the finnish town Åbo and about 2 weeks later Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. 'til I return!

Før vi startet opp på morgene var en tur på Geocaching. Vi fant JUV I gjevn **** gjorde vi unna resten av Gudbrandsdalen, krysset Mjøsa og fortsatte riksvei 24 til Skarnes. Da var ikke veien lang f ...

19 minutes past midnight and we are leaving Karlstad by a bus that is taking us to Örebro, where we'll change to another bus that will take us to Stockholm Skavsta Airport in Nyköping. In about 17 hours we'll hopefully be in Innsbruck in some pub or fan-area where we can view the game between Sweden and Spain.

We have been living on an island for almost a month now. Today we woke up to 4C and thought that the time had come to leave. We still don't know if we are selling our hose in Florida NEXT week or not. I think realtors (real estate agents) are the tru evil on earth! How much pure **** can come out of ones mouth and still nothing happens?

Almost a month has gone by since my last entry and I have now made my way from Australia to Canada and then back to Sweden... The remainder of my Australia trip was very relaxing with a great week in Adelaide where I got to do lots of wine tasting as well as trying some wakeboarding..Have to admit I definitely have no talent when it comes to that bloody sport, but after numerous tries (thanks to my friends Vicky and Anthony for being so patient)I finally ...
