Ditt Hotell-Hotell Mellbystrand Halmstad

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>

It has been a while... sorry about that! Helena and I have been in Ängelholm now for about 2 months. I have finished my Swedish course in Lund and have been working here for the last month. I work at a place called Halvsbadskjollan, a little kiosk and Pizza restaurant right on the beach here in Ängelholm. It all happened kind of by accident... Helena and I went to the beach one Friday afternoon ...

Vidare söder ut och till badorten (och konstnärs tillflykt under 1900-talets första hälft) Arild. Konstutflykt till Kullabergs naturreservat där konstteoretikern (och excentriken?) Vilks byggt upp ett träslott med spretiga tinar och torn utav drivved och plank. Här balanserar man försiktigt fram på egen risk på vad som ibland kan kännas som en bräcklig ...

Hej! Hej! I am back on the air, its been a long time since I have sent any news and I have added a few entries to this trip but after a lot of travelling in the last 2 weeks Helena and I have settled into our new appartment in Ängelholm. We are only a few minutes by bike to the beach and right in town. Its a great place and settling into Swedish life quiet well. It has been a long time since I have been a beach goer, and I have paid the price thinking that I wont need to use ...

I seem to be getting into the groove now. A new chain on my chainsaw made a huge difference. It's really beautiful, working in the hollows. It's sad that there's so much damage, trees just ripped up out of the ground and fell over. You trim the branches off the ...

... or indeed a bit ordinary but in the whole it was good to see such a range of talent on display. The whole thing was for free. All of the restaurants were overflowing. We had to hunt around a bit before settling on some Indian food. Lucky we rode in because riding home gave us the opportunity to burn off all of the fat from the excessive usage in the Indian restaurant. Like I need extra fat! Adios mis amigos.

... If you can stay over to-morrow, and call upon him, he'll be very glad to see you, for there are not many Englishman who come this way." Had it been possible to stay, I would most willingly have done so; but it would not do to risk even an hour's delay. By-and bye, a turn down hill brought us to a beautiful dell, at the bottom of which flowed a broad river under a hanging wood. On its further bank was the village; and although it was now in the deep gloom of evening I ...

... played it for us before, performed at the party. They were really good. It was a crazy, dance-mania, show-stoppin good time. I never thought I´d go to Sweden in my life but I went twice-- first to Stockholm and then to Lund. It was really fun and nice seeing and hanging out with my firends as a group (since I had seen all 4 individually while in Italy except for Robert). A nice break from heavy traveling and more of a homey feel.

... on, so we jumped on the next train to go to the brewery as it was going to close in 45 minutes. Lucy wasn't at the next station. So I awaited her return, and eventually she arrived, and we ran. We had to as we never made it the last time we were there, and I felt that this was one place we would never see. Well, we made it, cracked a deal with the guy on the front desk, in for half price with two beers thrown in. We downed them. Hooked up with some more ...

... is 160 feet long and gross displacement is 350 tons. She stayed in service as a training ship until 1938. Tied up directly behind her was the Tre Hjardan, a smaller though elegant two-master. We headed back towards the hotel to pack up and get on our way to see more of Sweden before our vacation ended. We stopped at the old Halmstad Castle which ...
