... thanks Vicks for the tip) and it even had swimmers in the waves albeit in wetsuits! We eventually arrived at our campsite about 6pm. We were staying at Skrea campsite which is just near Falkenberg, about half way up to the Bohuslan coast. We set Madam up and had a quick look at the beach whilst the sun was out and lovely. There are about 1600 bathing huts located behind the beach, which have been there in one form or another since the 1900's. Kind of like ...

The weekend has been so relaxing! It's my first time to go to a Spa-hotel and I thought it was liberating to be able to go around wearing robes ;) massage, gym, sauna+freezing cold ocean+hot tub, swimming pool and the food was delish... I really have no complains at all!<br><br><br>

6th July - This was the first time I'd seen Andrews, Kiwi, Walker and Miles in ages. It was fab to see them again. So, flying out was a bit dull but we wet out for a meal that night to a pizza place that had ran out of pizza so I just had a prawn salad that was yummy. We stayed in a hostel that night and went swimming in the lake as soon as we'd had time to put on our swimming stuff 7th July - This was the first day of canoeing. It was ...

When the train arrived in Halmstad, Jenny's uncle Lasse and his wife Lotten were waiting for us on the platform, from which point we've been totally pampered by them. Sunday Lotten's son Mattias and his girlfriend Jeanette came and drove us to see Malmo where there is a cultural festival with food from all over the world, live music, the works. Otherwise, we've been keeping clean, well fed and well slept, up to date with photos and ...

... and lakes in the midpart of the e country, and in the north it is rocky. We spent a few hours in Stockholm wandering about. None of us spoke the language and we do not use maps very much and we are driving a big car that is difficult to park. My parking place angel has done a magnificent job on this trip so far. We had fun in the old part of Stockholm Seems that there was a lot of partying going ...

... which is rare as well. I had my first 'close call' today. I was rooting a tree which is the process of cutting a fallen tree loose from it's root cluster. These root clusters can be up to 20 feet tall and consist of roots, dirt, moss, ice, etc. When you cut through the tree, it falls to the ground and the cluster either stays vertical because itäs frozen in place, or it will fall one ...

... strait of the Baltic Sea and we have a wicked view of it from the campsite. We are staying here until Friday and we are going to try and go Cod fishing tomorrow with a tour that also rents equipment. We are meeting tons of people that were at Roskilde (the same festival as us) including an Aussie group of 3 that are camping beside us and seem super friendly. We know everyone wants to see ...

... of which lay a boiled fish, curled up, with its tail stuck in its mouth, (like the Egyptian emblem for eternity,) and half afloat in melted butter. I had eaten nothing since the proceeding night, and was prepared to do justice to the emblematic fish, leaving only is curved skeleton on the plate. As soon as our carriage was ready, we departed on the mail road towards the north. He was a very dreary drive. The land was for the most part cultivated, but not fenced with ...

... his local knowledge - sniffed out a bottle shop and we were drinking cheaply, sitting in the sun on the water's edge. 7 or 12 beers later we needed a smorgasboard. We found on and started shovelling. Funnily enough, no one sat near us! Somehow we made it back to Helsingborg but there were no buses so we had to barter our way into a cheap taxi ride back to Viken and our bed. Friday We were woken by Tadek shouting for David to get moving - he stumbled out only to find it was the ...

We said goodbye to Norway and started retracing our steps to western Sweden on E6. We got to Halmstad late in the afternoon and decided to spend the night there. We checked into the Continental Hotel and then headed down towards the square looking for a place to have supper. There were a number of restaurants on the same street as the hotel just ...
