Centric Hotel Norrköping

... have it on camera). Not suprisingly, we slept till after midday. On Sunday, when we finally crawled out of bed, we all walked to visit Ivana, a friend in a nearby housing estate. It took us a good hour of walking in circles to find her new appartment (I'm not sure if thats due to our poor navigation skills or our denial of hangovers (; ) The walk was nice though, with some parts winding through forrested areas. On Monday the 6th we drove back home to Ödeshög in the ...

Day 3 was our last day and we had to get up really early for a bus at around 5 in the morning. We then had hours to kill before our flight home. On the flight we were just leaving when someone was taking ill so we had to go back and unload them, they were taken off in an ambulance.

We spent the second day just chilling out and looking around the town (not much to see in winter) before heading to a sports bar for dinner and then to the concert.

The concert was amazing and afterwards we went to the stage door. After waiting ages we were told that Kerry and Mazz had gone out the front door so we ran round the front, highly embarassing as it was a glass building so Mazz saw us run round.

... so finally we were off to the venue.

Stage Door

The venue, the Louis de Geer, was only about a 10 minute walk away so we headed to the stage door to meet Laura's friends. We saw Kerry Ellis briefly but Mazz was on the phone. Laura's friends invited us out but because of strict drinking laws we couldn't go. So back to the hostel it was to battle with the shower that had no door or no light!

... dans le bus tout le monde ā sa ceinture de sécurité et un sac ā vomi au cas oų!!!) Je trouve la capitale sous la neige, que du bonheur, la mer est gelée, les filles sont mignonnes, les hommes sont blonds, personne n'a oublié son bonnet... je suis bien en SUEDE! Je retrouve mon hôte dans la soirée, un petit génie anarchiste qui utilise tout son savoir pour retourner les failles de la société contre elle męme... surprenant! Hop un kebab, une bičre et au lit!

... The sleek plastic chairs, cube tables, 4 story glass walls and wood floors just screamed Scandinavian design and I couldn't even tell where the front desk was. It turned out to be a counter with two candelabras holding actual real candles (try that in the US) and a large bar behind it. Was it an IKEA showroom or a hotel? Not only do the front desk people have to check in guests, they have to pour extremely expensive drinks at this bar. The only ...

After spending two days we were off to a town near the airpory. We stopped in a town called Nykoping a little town of a bay of the Baltic Sea. We came across a cute little hotel, which was so cozy. When we arrived in the town we thought that there was going to be nothing to do there, and yet we were presently surprised by how nice out hotel ...

... party tomorrow and it has been well 15 months exactly tomorrow. In another I am really sad that it has finally come to an end and I have to return and face reality, which by the way I am not sure if I am every going to be able to do that! It is clear to me that the traveling bug not only hasn't gone away, but it has just woken up and there are still so many places I want to go and see and would I do something like this again? Absolutely, I could ...

... around 6:30 in the morning and he had actually got out of bed around about 8 or 9. After breakfast we went to one if his friends to burrow a canoe and we went to yet another lake for a ride in the canoe and swim later on. I have to say I had no idea that there are these many lakes here in Sweden and they are just magnificent and incredible how large they are. This particular lake was called Nedre Glottern and Henrik told me that in Winter, the whole lake freezes and you can ice ...

... with the family, Henrik and I cycled down to the city centre, to watch the fireworks, as it was the August festival here in his town and each year they have fireworks with music competition. Tonight was the 3rd night of the competition. In town I met two of his friends, Emma and Ante. We watched the fireworks together and soon after that we were met by a few of his friends and we spent the night watching and listening to the Beatles cover band, which I think not only ...
