Damn school kids woke us & Jas up at 1.30am! Anyway they were just having fun ( and without Jas we probably would have joined them!) and eventually p*ssed off someplace else. Little bit cloudy morning but nonetheless still picturesque. We managed to get out of the camp site at a record 11.30 am this morning which could even be further improved upon given that this was a complete pack up including the van awning and the tent. I took the liberty to do a spot of ...

... Questions are asked and replied by Nobel himself. `` I asked about the connection of the creation of dynamite which was and still is the primary explosive of so much modern weaponry. The answer was similar to that when you ask about nuclear energy. It can be used for good and evil. Anything powerful will be used eventually in war. We all got pictures taken with the “Alfred Nobel.” He asked what ...

... works at Oslo University teaching English and Music. Margaretha works as a software specialist. They have been most hospitable.

Anthony took me to the bus station for my journey today to Karlskoga where I would be with the Spenser’s, Engholm’s and John Wennström. The Swedish bus I wanted was full, but I did get a Norwegian one half an hour later. Anthony and I then got some coffee and had a healthy ...

... about 3h West of Stockholm. Our friends Lina and Johan, and their new baby Naemi took us to their home in Edeby, North of Karlstad. They found an old house on the river and have been restoring it for the past few years into a beautiful place worthy of a magazine. We were very excited for a week without any schedules or sights to check out. It was really nice to just relax.

Near the house is a bike trail (did I say relax?) that ...

... work time in Sweden and Norway as the camping grounds and hostel have been really empty. The public transport options here are awesome, you can take a bus anywhere, the trains work, and the city provide a free cycle hire service. There are bicycles everywhere, hundreds of them. NZ really needs to take a lesson from this. Yesterday I went to another museum and learnt about some Varmland history, and called my family from a payphone outside the tourist office, then bought a watch ...

... go out in a minute to watch them do hot laps shortly. I really am quite relieved to have found somewhere affordable again. I will be going back to Norway, but I think I will be travelling through it pretty quickly. I am quite tired of travelling at the moment and am missing home and friends and family a bit, but I know there is so much more to see and do ahead! until next time, -mike

... our Sweden through the groupstage, where it all came to an end, but our trip had just started and we went on to explore other parts of europe for 16 days. The countries we paid a visit were Italy, France, Spain, England and Scotland. My next trips will be a cruise to the finnish town Åbo and about 2 weeks later Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. 'til I return!

19 minutes past midnight and we are leaving Karlstad by a bus that is taking us to Örebro, where we'll change to another bus that will take us to Stockholm Skavsta Airport in Nyköping. In about 17 hours we'll hopefully be in Innsbruck in some pub or fan-area where we can view the game between Sweden and Spain.

We have been living on an island for almost a month now. Today we woke up to 4C and thought that the time had come to leave. We still don't know if we are selling our hose in Florida NEXT week or not. I think realtors (real estate agents) are the tru evil on earth! How much pure **** can come out of ones mouth and still nothing happens?

In our preparation to move to China do we first have to sell our house in Florida, so we are right now planning to fly out to Florida on Friday, sell the house, ship the furniture that we shipped from Sweden to Florida two years ago to China. When (if?) we move back to Sweden the furnitures will have made one full circle around the globe.
