Sx Elite Stora Hotellet Orebro

I concluded my 2 month adventure with a 2 day visit to Anna's aunt Birgitta in Leksand, which is in the traditional Dalicarlian region of Sweden. I should note we had a small delay on the train ride up to Leksand since the train hit a moose, which apparently isn't that uncommon here. Birgitta has been the best host up here taking me around and cooking us the best meals (in fact I have to get ...

Start at the beginning; and when you come to the end, stop! <br><br>So I am still at the beginning of this trip, still at home in Sweden, but I leaving in three days. I have lots to do, I still did not start packing, but I will soon, I hope. <br><br>Browsing a little bit in my study literature about Benchmarking, I found this wonderful poem by R. D. Laing that made me feel bit better. <br><br>"There is something that I don't know<br> that I am supposed to know.<br>I don't know ...

... br><br>We had a delicious meal at Cafe Vero in a sunny courtyard (yes it had struggled to wake up but was creeping through the clouds) and then headed via the supermarket to our campsite, Bomstad Baden, on Lake Vanern. This is a very large site, with about 500 pitches and many of them either taken by permanent vans or by happy campers. It has a pretty large beach on the lake. <br> <br>And bless little Jasper was a little grumplicious today (thanks Ada for that fab word ...

... we have been to and driven past. I lost as per usual! <br><br>So some things about Sweden:<br><br>* Where do you find full strength beer? They only sell a maximum of 3.5% at the supermarkets. I think we will need to check out the state run alcohol shops - System Bolaget, set up to minimise drinking - LOL<br>* Roads here are as expected well maintained and great for cruising<br>* Swedes seem to be ...

... soon and head out to Orebro and my family's hometown..... Arriving in Orebro at about 6:00 we fist went to the "mushroom" Orebro's city water tower, a place I remember well from my childhood. From there you could look out and see all of Narke. After freezing our as.... off about at about 200 ft. above ground we went in search of our hotel which we paid about $75.00 for. Arriving there we found what looked like a long 2 story diner. Entering with ...

... Then set out to find my Father's grave. We knew that we were headed it the right direction, but when we arrived, all we saw was a Industrial Park. Deciding to give up the idea we headed back to the shopping mall to return a dress I bought in the wrong size. While on our ride, I again looked at the map and realized that we were indeed in the right area for the cemetery only on the wrong side of the interstate. We turned around and finally found the cemetery, but now ...

... lore. <br><br> From here we went for a swim in a lake. As we walked out into the lake it was very hot. The sand on the beach was unbearable to walk on. The all of a sudden a thunderhead appeared. We scrambled for shore. Soon it started lightning/thundering and raining as I had not seen in a long time. On the news later we learned that a few people and four horses were killed close by in this sudden squall. <br ...

... Actually, there were four&#8230;.one was a sniffing dog. The dog looked awful and smelled worse as he sniffed around all of our belongings. <br><br>The officials seemed to be particularly thorough for some reason. Then the dog stopped at one package and the owner was identified. A young Asian-looking lady was pulled off the bus and about three or four of her friends. I heard the hold below being opened. We continued to ...

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...!!!
