Best Western John Bauer Hotel Jönköping

Today we were up and at the ferry terminal in Sassnitz Germany, as in yesterday's blog, this is the area where the ferries crooss the Baltic to several other boarding countries. I had pre-bought our tickets , so we had no trouble entering and getting our boarding pass. We were assigned lane #6 and not finding it we assumed that the lines separated after boarding. Well. you know what tey always say about assumptions!!!!! After waiting ...

Nach unserem Wochenendausflug muss Anna die Woche über wieder zur Arbeit in die Tierklinik. Ich darf sie begleiten, verstehe aber in der Sprechstunde kein Wort und entschließe mich daher für den Op. Ich darf bei einigen sehr interessanten Operationen assistieren und möchte mich dafür nochmals herzlich bedanken.

Det ble ingen vinter i Stockholm i år. Det er vel egentlig trist, men så har jeg vel man en vinter svoret eder og forbandelse over Kong Vinter, og nå kan jeg liksom ikke trekke tilbake alt. Faktum består, dette er så godt som en vårdag å regne. Solen skinner ...

Nice camp-site although I am hoping at the next one we can find a flat pitch! Beach about 500m away. Went sunbathing yesterday lunchtime, although occasionally jumpers were needed when the nasty black clouds went past. Tor eventually went for a swim and announced that "yes, the water was cold!" Jonkoping reminded me of a sea-side tourist resort like Brighton with lots of ...

After rainy Copenhague I made my way across the longest tunnel-bridge in Europe crossing into Sweden. It was a magnificant sight, so I took it slow. No place to stop for a photo opportunity though. You will have to look it up on internet to see what it looks like! Taking a nice lunchbreak in Malmö (very good bean soup indeed!) and on the bike again to do a few (hundred) more kms. Making my ...

... saw, a woodpecker yesterday (it was smaller and had a red behind, ID that one for us would you Craig/Joel =). In summer Gem picks her own camomile flowers to make tea with, and the forest is full of blueberries, just fabulous. Gem has become quite the baker, but is so modest and says its nothing, and that most Swedish housewives are great bakers, they have the most amazing array of tasty looking cakes in every shop window. ANd did I mention their tradition is morning tea with 7 ...

... slept at the back and the ride went pretty good and fast. Finally we stopped at a exit in Jonkoping and it seems there was some misunderstanding at where we were being picked... so we waited until Maria and her friend came over to bring us to Forserum after an attempt of parking to visit Jonkoping who didnt suit. Arriving at her place she made us feel real comfortable like at home and let us relax and calm down while they were preparing the dinner. I cleaned my ...

... pleased with how things went. It was a healthy start for Sweden and can only get better with the new literature that we are planning to offer the public in their native language. Here is what I wrote for the United News and already sent off to Mike Bennett: The United of God of God of Sweden (Guds Enade Kyrka) on June 24, 2006 sponsored a Good News seminar in Mjolby. Current and past readers ...

... and my latest trip there from which we are returning. In the invitation letter sent out to Good News readers in Sweden the subject of our involvement with Chernobyl was mentioned first. I plan to show about 20 minutes of PowerPoint slides, then go to the issues of world security and how we can know what future will bring. In the morning Kira and I worked on the signs for the venue which is in the Tinghus, which is the former courthouse ...

Happy Straya Day to all my Aussie readers from the Australian Tax Free Zone at Nassjo in Sweden. I hope you enjoy your festivities and have a beer for me! In the meantime, I'll tell you a little story... === Many years ago, three young Australian lads visited Sweden for the very first time. As they'd timed their stay perfectly with the hottest week of the ...
