Best Western Hotel Carlstad Karlstad

... on the way but the lack of sunlight made packing up the tent slow because I didn't want to put it away wet. The inside of the van got the once over with my new cigarette lighter plug in vacuum cleaner (which incidently couldn't suck the flour off a crepe)! As well as cleaning the van the trip has been a fantastic opportunity to finish all of those chores on the van that haven't been possible since Jasper arrived. I've nearly got the trims back on the new roof windows that were ...

... grounds are stunning with its own little beach and wooded forest and the waters of lake vanern weren't too cold, we might even consider a dip later...<br><br>Our gorgeous serenity was then only ruined by 2 bus loads of high school students. Damn... ah well kind of nice to have some more people around.<br><br>We had a game of mini golf in the afternoon, it seems big over here as there is a course at every ...

... looked like perplexed while he waited for the pump to switch on but eventually the nice Swedish male proprietor came out and explained in perfect english that we needed to pay at the pump with a card! I also learnt our 4 word of Swedish, Hey-do, which is bye. Hey being hello and Tack being thank you.<br><br>The Vitlycke rock carvings at Tanumshede were quite extensive and covered the most of the side of one hill. The carvings were highlighted by red paint to enhance the ...

... and drink the firewater that is aquaveet. We visited the barn of some friends of Lina and Johans where we learned the game of kubb. You throw blocks of wood to knock down the opponent&#8217;s blocks. Stopher and I cleaned house winning 2 games before trying to explain to the locals what a couple of Americans were doing playing kubb at a barn in N. Sweden. Everyone was a lot of fun and we had a great time. Finishing up our stay in the ...

... 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 ...

... years old. thats quite old. Other than that I have been relaxing and enjoying the quaintness and pretty old town feel and cheap food... I can afford to eat again! There is a big event on here which has just started today, the annual go-kart races which go for four days. They race around the main town square with the finish line right outside the tourist office where I am now. I ...

... to see, you can always find someplace new because the world is huge. As I said i've had the luck to see very many places in my life and i'm still just 19 years old. This year i've been to Dublin, Liverpool and London during spring. And the summer started off quite good as well as I went to Austria and Innsbruck with a friend and saw the Euro 2008, where we ...

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?

The beginning of a new month brought us to a new country - Sweden. In order to do that, we started out very early. Waking up at 5.45am, 6.30am breakfast and by 7.30am we were on our coach speeding eastward towards Sweden. Feeling sleepy at 7.30am, I begin to wonder is this really a holiday? we don't get up this early even for work. Oh well, we spend our time dozing off to the bus PA system playing Abba songs. We stopped at the border of Norway and Sweden to get ...
