Hallandia Halmstad Scandic

... english bathing huts but these now had sky dishes,sun rooms and verandahs! <br><br>After a yum dinner of pasta we then tucked into the apple meringue pie, a delicacy from Fahlmans. WOW, what a cake! A combination of Kenny's mum's lemon meringue and apple pie, both as Kenny would say " awesome" so you can imagine, this cake was scrumptious!! We fell asleep dreaming of meringue pie and hoping for the 24 degree sunshine the customs officers had predicted...<br> <br>

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>

6th July - This was the first time I'd seen Andrews, Kiwi, Walker and Miles in ages. It was fab to see them again. So, flying out was a bit dull but we wet out for a meal that night to a pizza place that had ran out of pizza so I just had a prawn salad that was yummy. We stayed in a hostel that night and went swimming in the lake as soon as we'd had time to put on our swimming stuff 7th July - This was the first day of canoeing. It was ...

When the train arrived in Halmstad, Jenny's uncle Lasse and his wife Lotten were waiting for us on the platform, from which point we've been totally pampered by them. Sunday Lotten's son Mattias and his girlfriend Jeanette came and drove us to see Malmo where there is a cultural festival with food from all over the world, live music, the works. Otherwise, we've been keeping clean, well fed and well slept, up to date with photos and ...

... snce it was the day that school ended and there were lots of young people celebrating. We eventually found our way to the ferry and all four us piled into this small room, the size of a train Pullman. Then we headed for the sundeck and had a grand ole time with our drinks as we saw Stockholm disappear as we proceeded through this maze of islands. . We had a feast for supper (2nd seating) and it ...

... the stuff inside was missing, but the thieves had installed a new car stereo(well "new" might not be the right word), so in some ways, the theft was actually an upgrade. Everyone is happy to have the car back. We never thought we'd see it again. This weekend Chris and I head into Gothenburg for a well-deserved weekend of debauchery. It'll be nice to sleep in.

... or the other. So you prepare for it to potentially fall towards you. An escape route is always a good idea. In this case, I cut the tree loose and as I stepped back, the cluster fell away from me, but in doing so, a root that was hidden below came jutting up out of the ground and caught me between my legs, on my thigh and flipped me over onto my head and should. These things must ...

The flight from LA to Atlanta was pretty uneventful. The next leg to Copenhagen wasn't very crowded, so we all had 2 seats to ourselves, so I managed to get a little sleep. Chris and his Dad Jonas met me at the airport. We took the ferry into Sweden and after a quick stop to get me some chainsaw boots, we were on ...

... the several apartments, they open from one directly into another. We passed out of the room, where we had taken tea, into an adjoining one, some twelve or fourteen feet square, and of good height. In one corner stood a great white stove, or "Kakel-ovn", as it is here called, in which a couple of birch logs were burning, and around which I hung to get perfectly dry and warm by the morning. At the other side of the apartment was a box, about the size of an English sofa ...

... the tan. We followed Tadek's instructions - train followed by ferry. We looked around the ferry and noticed that the Scandies were drinking gin in a can. I had to try some!! David bought some for me and I was hooked! Gin was my new best friend. Goodbye Sangria! I staggered off the ferry into an awaiting bus. Luckily it was going to Viken. We got off the bus and the heavens opened. Bugger! We hadn't had rain since Korcula! We managed to find the accommodation Tadek had booked ...
