Hotel Tylosand Halmstad

... it to Sweden!!! Kenny decided that as we had not got any stamps in our passport in Denmark, he would try to get a stamp for Jasper in Sweden. Success with baby in tow! The Swedish Customs guys said they didn't do this normally however we weren't to tell anybody. I think Jasper being all cute broke down their tough exterior but I still think they thought he was slightly nutty!

As we arrived in Sweden, the weather started to brighten and the rain stopped ...

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!

... meet some friends and after a while we all began to get hungry & decided to go and grab some pizza. I walked over to the pizza shop with one of our friends who happened to know the owner. We ordered and saw that they were flat out, it was a 90 minute wait for our pizza! Marie, our friend, spoke to Jessika, the owner of the shop, and found out that a girl had quit that day and she was ...

... g. Makalöst! Väl värt mödan att ta sig hit, verket finns inte med på någon karta och saknar hänvisningsskyltar då det inte får ligga här. Åter till Arild och bad på Tussans badplats, därefter middag och övernattning på mysiga Rusthållaregården. Uppgraderades turligt nog till rum med havsutsikt - vackert! Kvällspromenad i hamnen. Dagens drink: Husets cava

... Now that my stomach is completely burnt, and lying on my back hurts I have gone to the local stor and have enough sunscreen for anyone who may want to come and visit! I also have a new cell phone and if anyone is interested you can txt or even call... the number is +46 73 815 4059 (if you are in Sweden you just call 073 815 4059) I start a 3 week Swedish course in a week, and by the end I should be able to understand more of this language :) Thats about all. Chat soon CP

... and generally relaxed as hell. Fantastic. We'll stay here until Saturday when we take an overnight train to Berlin. Of course some of you will immediately recognise that Halmstad is the home town of everyone's favourite Swedish pop band, Roxette. It's surrounded by beautiful forests and coastline, all of which we've been chauffured, chauffeured, driven around to see. None of this, of course, makes for an interesting blog entry.

... which was lots of fun, though not very tuneful when you are singing in another language. Over the next few days we explored the surrounding area, taking a day trip to Copenhagen in Denmark, as well as up to Helsingborg, and then catching a ferry accross to Helsingor in Denmark, which is famous for its large castle (with a very impressive moat), that Shakespeare based his story of Hamlet on. We sampled the traditional ...

... but he's doing alright...so no worries...I am thus far invicible to its dangers. Oh, and the first wipe out occurred today as I tripped over a fallen tree only to hit my head on the one above me and fall down....luckily I didn't break my femur. Love, Kaylea and Matt P.S. Our campsite SERIOUSLY offers Swedish massages for 200k, there are signs everywhere - it is amazing. no happy endings though.

... the needfull information about horses, etc.. An old driver who knew the road well gave us all the distances, from station to station, and the hours at which I might order horses to be ready, on as far as Halmstad, beyond which I should find "fast" stations, or such as could furnish them at once without the preliminary notice. As the coach had not yet overtaken us from Helsinborg, I only had to write the Forbud on slips of paper, and deliver them to the post-master, who ...

... believe the story tooke place around the year 600. A thousand years later William Shakespear heard about the tale and changed it to his own style and Hamlet was born! We walked round the old town and looked at a couple of old churches then jumped on a ferry on the way back to Helsingborg on the Swedish side. Whilst on the ferry we bought up on gin in a can and a tetra pack of vino tinto to have after dinner. We visited what was left of the castle in Helsingborg. We climbed to ...
