... it is I don't know,
and yet I am supposed to know,
And I feel I look stupid
If I seem not to know it
and not know what it is I don't know.
Therefore I pretend to know it.
This is nerve-wracking
since I don't know what I must pretend to know.
Therefore I pretend to know everything.
I feel I know what I am supposed to know
but you can't tell me what it is
because you don't know that I don't know what it is."

(R. D. Laing, Knots)

... me down of the hippy trip I discovered another rust hole in the floor plan just on the foot step up into the drivers side cabin.
Lizzie made an intereswting observation, we seem to be the only campers with a "hippy van"....in other words, we don't see any other real campers (either type T1/2, T25 or T4's). They all seem to be the retiree type vans or caravan and car set-ups.
So Lizzie writes, we drove to Karlstad which is the capital of Varmland. A nice city by the lake and ...

After a very cold night in the van with temperatures dropping to 10 degrees it did mean that the clear skies of the day before had brought with it a gorgeous sunrise with just a couple of clouds. Funny, I used to always struggle to get out of bed to check out sunrises, and now with Jasper its quite a regular occurence!

So after a lie in, we took in the serenity as you might say!Thats for you Sashy! The ...

... we found a clean albeit small 12m2 room. Not want to spend much time in there other than to sleep we went across the parking lot to a place called Gustivik not knowing what it was we ventured in only to find a world of water. With slides, a wave pool, a rushing river, (yes rushing not lazy) the largest swimming pool I ever saw and a few Jacuzzis scattered around and all of this for only about $10.00, as Noah would say, we had the best day ever.

... to pay about $100.00 a day all the TV (except BBC) was in Norwegian. Luckily we had internet service and were able to log on to Itunes and download entertainment. We downloaded the ist season of Fringe and are enjoying it nightly. I think the most surprising thing about Norway is the exchange rate. Everything is priced the same as in Sweden but you only get 5 NEK per US dollar where in Sweden you got over 7 SEK per dollar. Guess we won't be spending a lot of money here

... family-owned home has been in the family for 500 years. Karlskoga is about half-way on the Oslo/Stockholm highway.

We had a great meal again.

This we followed with and interactive Bible Study with the Spenser’s and John Wennström that dealt with understanding our times. We talked about the prophetic identities of people and their migrations as well as Christian understanding and responsibility.

... for about 20 more minutes. Finally, they all came on the bus and we drove on. The day was hot!

At 6:00 PM I arrived in Karlskoga (meaning "Karl’s Forest") in Swedish and Paul Spenser picked me up. We drove out to his in-laws Engholm’s “Summer House” on the outskirts of town. The house is on a lake just off the main Oslo/Stockholm highway called the E-18.

It was great to see Kira ...

Snart är det dags att åka iväg! Som det kan märkas har jag kvar åäö vilket betyder att jag är kvar i kära kära Sverige! Har styrt upp det så att jag och Henke möts upp i Köpenhamn och om allt går som det ska ska vi vara i Amsterdam (weee!) runt kl 9 på tisdag ...

We leave Stokholm to go to Örebro, a quiet city in the middle of Sweden with a nice medieval castle and an enormous and very green camping vhere we stay for 2 nights....Örebro is also the home town of Millencolin, and it's a good reason to come here...!!!
