First Carlshamn Karlshamn

... br>A problem though, I am a man of walking (to prove it, I am now a fan of walking on Facebook!!). If there is an alternative between walking and whatever, I walk. Normally when people are with me and they think it&#8217;s ridiculous, they say no and I understand and agree with the alternative way of transportation. Kieu never contradicted walking so it was a lot of walking. A reminder to all of you, some of you already know.<br ...

Just wanted to send off an update. I am in a town called Karlskrona, just arrived about 6 hours ago from Tingsryd. But please allow me to back up and tell you a bit about Tingsryd, located in the South Eastern region of Sweden. This small town is made up a picturesque lakes, tall birch pine and oak trees, as well as a powerful Rotary group, 30 members strong. Upon ...

After Egypt I stayed in London for a week. The main reason for staying was to attend a recruitment fair for international schools that was being held over the weekend. The fair is for teachers and international schools from all over the world to meet, find out about vacancies, apply for positions and have interviews. I was obviously hoping to find a job in Berlin. As it turned when the list of attending schools was published, there were no Berlin ...

... went out with Jacqui and Rebecca that night to the 'new years review'. This is a locally produced show incorporating song and dance and a series of comedy sketches. They basically make fun of local characters and news events that have occurred during the year. Not being a local I didn't really 'get it' but it was still entertaining. My mum and Simon who had been travelling in Europe for the past 2 and a half weeks arrived by train at 10.30pm so we picked them ...

Most of our time in Sweden was spent eating.. and doing some cooking. Anna, Johan and Karl-Oskar came down for the weekend so we spent some time at Knipehall. Had a big dinner Saturday night to which Palle surprised everyone by turning up to! That's my uncle, my dad's older brother that we had stayed with just a couple of weeks earlier in Italy. He hadn't been in Sweden in 6 years but was there just over the ...

So... Since Malmo.. let me see, well I ran around for a few days with my broken camera trying to fill out an insurance claims and get a quote and try to prove that I did actually own the camera, not being very good at keeping receipts makes this a bit tricky.... This did occupy quite a bit5 of my time and cause me considerable amounts of stress. I also spent a couple of days out ...

The Oresund Bridge connect Denmark to Sweden, there we want to go! The landscape is very green, and we look for a place to stop before to go to Stockholm.... we decide for Karlskrona, a city situated on 33 islands and designated World Heritage cause its well-preserved naval features! We stay in the center of the city, placed on Trossö island, and we go to visit Kungsholms Fort....built in 1680 to defend the city, it is in blue water so we take a long boat tour to arrive there...

... woke up a bit past 8:30a.m. Of course I didn't sleep properly since I couldn't manage to fall back asleep till about 3a.m. Awkwardly enough, as was falling asleep, I noticed the sun had begun to rise already. Imagine that...sunrise at 3a.m.?! Maria prepared a sensational breakfast and we head out towards the train station so that I could make my way back to the airport for my flight to Berlin. Berlin would be the meeting place of my tour.

Etter to dager på landeveien gjennom Norge og Sverige ankom vi Karlshamn i Skåne for å ta ferge over til Klaipedia i Litauen. Her sjekket vi inn hos LISCO hvor vi hadde bestilt bilettene på forhånd. Etter å ha stått i bilkø blandt Øst-europeisk trailere fikk vi tilslutt kjøre ombord ...

... there. Theres something interesting about this trip, we didnt pay for accomodation, "how" i hear you cry, well, we had the car, and we had a tent. So that was that for Scandinavia in winter. I dont remember how we slept this night, but we did sleep. As my memory goes.
