Finding a cool oasis in the center of Athens during a hot summer day might be a challenge. The shades offered by the green trees and other plants in the National Garden will probably give you that much-needed cool. A Bit More About the National Garden The National Garden (in Greek Εθνικός Κήπος) has previously also…
I have been to the Greek capital twice before but it is quite some time ago now. We arrived in Athens late last night and this morning our plan was to sleep late. However, Little A did not agree with us. At 8 a.m. local time she decided to wake us up. We gave her…
There was a bit of tension in the air this morning. The feeling of new adventures is around the corner. This is something we really like about traveling, there is always something new to be excited about. We have just arrived and we now have four weeks to look forward to in the Greek capital…
Sometimes a place becomes your home for a couple of years. However, once you move away you will not return as often as you first had thought. Linköping is that place for me. I lived there most of the time between 2008 and 2012 but have not returned since. Well, that was until today when…
Well hello there! I can’t believe it’s already the end of April. One month from now we will be enjoying some sunshine and great food in Greece. This spring has been so hectic; after visiting Lahti in Finland, I also made a short trip to London. England was more business than pleasure this time. I…
For the last few days, Little A and I have been enjoying and exploring Trosa and Vagnhärad. There are occasions that are a bit more challenging than others. Then there are occasions that are not even close to as challenging as you thought they would be. That is the case for me the last few…
April 7th, 2017 is a date that affected us all and will be affecting Stockholm for a long time to come. It was a day when terror struck the Swedish capital, We were, however, lucky that the events that day only caused disruptions to our plans. Others were not as fortunate. Now a year afterward…
Have you heard about the Moomins? If you have, then you have probably heard of Naantali or Nådendal (the Swedish name) as well. It is here that the amusement park dedicated to the white creatures is located. We are back in Sweden after a week in neighboring Finland. We visited Lahti for most of the…
We had a great holiday plan when we entered the ferry last Tuesday evening. Our plan was to see as many places as possible and visit relatives. Oh well, sometimes life doesn’t go the way you want it to go. The cold hit Little A first. As a result, we all slept poorly as she…
Not every trip goes as planned. When we visited Madeira a few months ago I got sick and we got stuck in Garajau for a day. Today it is Little A who is being bothered with fever and a sore throat. Like yesterday when we took turns to walk around in Lahti, we once more…
Yesterday we arrived in this city of winter sports – also known as Lahti or Lahtis. It is famous for its ski jumping hills, radio towers, and the nickname “Finland’s Chicago”. It is not the first time we visit the town, as Susann has some family here. Lahti greeted us with sunshine, blue skies, and…
Only a short drive from Ekenäs, in the forest there are the ruins of a castle. It is a castle that once must have been an even more impressive sight than today. Majestically raising itself from the surrounding snowy fields, Raseborg Castle was an amazing sight also on a day like this. There is something special…
