... 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)

... on the way but the lack of sunlight made packing up the tent slow because I didn't want to put it away wet. The inside of the van got the once over with my new cigarette lighter plug in vacuum cleaner (which incidently couldn't suck the flour off a crepe)! As well as cleaning the van the trip has been a fantastic opportunity to finish all of those chores on the van that haven't been possible since Jasper arrived. I've nearly got the trims back on the new roof windows that were ...

... grounds are stunning with its own little beach and wooded forest and the waters of lake vanern weren't too cold, we might even consider a dip later...

Our gorgeous serenity was then only ruined by 2 bus loads of high school students. Damn... ah well kind of nice to have some more people around.

We had a game of mini golf in the afternoon, it seems big over here as there is a course at every ...

... we were unable to open the door. Thankfully, because there was a power outage and if we had gotten in the elevator we would probably be there the rest of our vacation! We managed to lug all of our 4 suitcases down the stairs and out to the Europa mobile and head out to Lennart and Lilo's house looking forward to a good Scandinavian home cooked lunch. Only to arrive and find out they too had no electricity. All of us disappointed headed out to a ...

... there five other times but held only four, due to the breakout of the second World War. They were cancelled in 1940 due to invasion of the Nazie troops. You will notice though the Nazi flag is shown in the picture of the Championship dysplay. It has also hosted many of the Nobel Peace Prize award ceromonies. It was so nice to arrive in our room ready to watch a bit of TV and relax after a long tireing drive in the rain. The only problem was that unless you ...

The day begins with a shower. So, what 's the big deal? Well, it's out in the middle of the yard. The water is pumped from the lake. You are told that you just shower -- stripped completely. You are told not to worry—"this is Sweden." OK. Sweden survived.

... done a few times through the day and can be done as part of a meal. It couldn’t have been more comfortable and beautiful tonight with good conversation and food. The night goes on and on as it refuses to get dark at this time of year. The Engholm’s summer house is rustic, in great shape with quarters for guests. It’s right on a beautiful lake with a view of close-by island with another summer house on it.

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...!!!
