... birthday, which was true-Indian-Jones-esq adventure and I knew immediately that the standard package tour of South Africa or Kenya was not going to live up this imagery!

On top of all these requests, Chris and I have the same likes and dislikes when it comes to vacations. The top three dislikes in no particular order would be 1.) tourists, you know the ...

... through Stortogett & took pictures of the Statue of King Karl X Gustav & the fountain, bought a rain jacket and stocking cap and Kaye bought a sun hat. Went to a Nordic design center by Lilla torg (Little Square.) Came back to rest a little and will go to castle museum next. Also walked through another square with flower and fruit stalls and street ...

... a map and tried to work out the best things to do in Malmo. First stop - chocolate factory. The chocolate factory wasn't so much a factory as a shop. Nevertheless, they made fantastic chocolate in any way you could imagine. I had a chocolate pudding with an ice chocolate - wickedly delicious. We bought some chocolate coated almonds for the road and headed off. We then had a look at the castle in Malmo (which looks like a big ...

... in order! I know the first names and place of employment, so I can easily stalk these two sisters! Off to the train station - once again, many seats were seemingly reserved but had nobody sitting in them. The train conductor was actually a lady that I saw at the grocery last night, when I was shopping by numbers. I thought it was cute how they announced the time on board - "We will arrive at 14 point 12." Upon arrival, it was ...

... and things that weren't there before but just dress up the place to make it more sellable. Good pictures can be the difference with so many people going via the internet to search for housing. It is also quite amusing at how you hide most signs of living when you are going through this exercise. Because the weather was so cloudy we were not able to get any outdoor scenes...but we tried our best. Afterwards Staffan and I headed ...

... action. Lomma 1 was assigned to the 3rd of the 4 heats. During their preliminary heat they were allowed two races to qualify into the semifinal. For the preliminary races they raced in the boat sponsored by Folk Spel, a Swedish lottery bingo sort of company. They placed 2nd in both of those so advanced because the top 3 of each of those heats went on to the two semifinal heats. Then in the semifinal again the top 3 would ...

... with the plane and that we would have to return to Montreal. I couldn't help but laugh. Any remaining feelings of pride left immediately. I am 10 minutes into my trip feeling great about hitting my first destination and then I find out that we have to go back home. As we turned back, the pilot then announces that we are instead going to Toronto as there would be another plane that would get us into London later that night. I found this even more amusing as ...

... Country Music Muster over en weekend. Det bliver da helt vildt fedt. I september tager jeg 2-3 uger på sprogskole i Brisbane. Dette er en idé om hvordan min rejserute kommer til at se ud, og hvor lang tid jeg tror den kommer til at tage. Men da jeg ikke har prøvet det før og ikke ved hvad der pludselig dukker op af spændende/mærkelige/sjove ting undervejs, kan både rejserute og tidsramme jo hurtigt ændre sig.

... in written words but it doesn't help at all verbally). There are lots of Turkish, Thai and African people around and they seem to mix in well with the locals - I saw many mixed couples and their children cycling and walking around. I am keen to try the food and over the time I am here I try as many different things as I can. My first meal is at a little shop with a range of open sandwiches in the window and I eat one with fish balls and a yellow creamy sauce and one with ...

Hot, Damn Hot! We're actually staying just south of Copenhagen in a place called Greve Strand. We have spent the first day sightseeing around the city. The was the museums and the parks etc. People everywhere especially in the canal harbour. It was obviously the place to be if you brought your sunnies and a hat (and a credit card to pay for the beer). Dave the Turkey met us at The Dubliner pub. A very typical Danish pub-if you ...
