Day 10
... sure I'll find a way to slip it into polite conversation.
What I've mainly got out of this trip has been more of a cultural experience. I think I've spent too long in Sweden to truly be culturally English (if such a thing exists, which I very much doubt considering what a motley lot we are) ever again. This I suppose is inevitable, as I've never done the ex-pat thing and all of my friends and acquaintances are Swedish. I've also ...

Katie and Dave's Wedding
The best day and night of my life. From waking up and having a fry up with the summit crew to getting ready together and the going to the church.
