Sirius Hotel Kristianstad

Kaye:

Off again! Had breakfast at the hotel, then back to Pukeberg to finish shopping then off to Kamar. It is raining this morning.

Patsy:

Stopped at Pukeberg glass factory this morning and got to blow bubbles. All of us got to try. I think Carrie's was the best. We drove on to Kalmar to see Kalmar castle (slot.) This was a border keep when Denmark owned southern Sweden ...

Utflyktsdag på egen hand, inledde med Simrishamns bibliotek och betalning av sommarens eftersända räkningar. Även en vända på stan, ytterligare bokfynd från mannen med hatten samt lunch på Börjes skafferi. Vidare till Vitemöla och strandpromenad och Sayers läsning i sanden. Inhandlande av rapsolja och honung i Havängsbodarna. Cyklade iväg till middag med vänner till familjen, 12 till bordet. Dagens drink: Sherry

... empty building and warehouse taking measurements and making notes. I had the camera with me to take pictures of the machines for visual recall later and help Staffan measuring around the machines. It was really interesting to see how beds were made and how it goes from little wires to springs, into full fledged mattresses. It was eery walking around when you knew it must be a madhouse when all the machines are chugging along and it is filled with life.

Our last day in Sweden we packed our stuff, and drove with Inka towards Karslkrona, where the ferry was going to take us to the Polish port town of Gdynia. On the way to Karlskrona we stopped of at another couple of historical towns, and also on a strawberry field to enjoy the freshest strawberries possible.

The next day was Midsommar. We started of the day by going to the local town festivities, where a large post decorated with flowers is erected in the town park. Then all the participants start singing and dancing around the post to music played by a local folk band. Sadly on this day it was pretty cold and rainy and the crowd was not very big. Some had folk outfits on ...

... and feasted on some "sandwich cake", a Swedish specialty with many layers of bread, and stuff you would put in or on a sandwich all displayed very nicely. That evening Inka's friend Alinka stopped over for some housewarming champagne. Alinka is 78 going on 28, with an incredibly sharp mind and unrelenting amount of energy. Remarkable lady. The next couple of days we spent slowly unpacking, and moving things small things from the old apartment to the new one.

... streets and everything mixed with a younger university town feel. A third of this town is students so there's always a party somewhere. Finding my way home after the party is another story. I haven' t had a chance to tour around Lund with my camera yet, but I'll put them up here when I do.

I went to Sweden today across the new bridge which expanded a great distance over and under the sea that seperates Sweeden and Denmark. The bridge goes half under and half over the water and was quite amazing to go on. Malmo was beautiful...but we didnøt really have a plan on what we would do upon arriving there. So...we wandered. We ate chinese in a square and were asked by gymnasts if they ...

Hey! Det her er så vores sidste entry for denne gang. I sidste entry lovede vi jer slutningen på vores eventyr, så den kommer her! Efter Taj Mahal tog vi som sagt videre til en mindre by, Orchha. Endnu en by med et fort og et marked. Noget Orchha havde patent på var dog en overbefolkning af fluer!! Vi overvejer lidt om Orchha er stedet hvor alle Indiens fluer tager hen på sommerferie, for det var virkelig ekstremt! Vores eneste aften i ...

... like manure all day. Not exactly what you would expect. The other bracket is staying in a city and their hotel is part of the downtown. I guess our situation is better for the players to get away from everything, but MUCH worse for the staff. In the hotel though, the key ammentity is the heated bathroom floor! It is tile and you set the tempature, it is awesome. There is also a public sauna on our floor, I have only been twice, but Mono ...
