It’s time to say Merry Christmas! Once again the Christmas holidays have arrived and we are waiting for the rest of the family to arrive. As I hope is the case for most of you, this is probably the highlight of the day. At least for the first few moments until you long for that…
In November, during our trip to Slovakia, we also wanted to visit Hungary. We have written about our fascination with this country before. It turned out to be a short stop, but an effective one. In fact, we only had 6 hours in Budapest this time. Here’s our list of the top six things to…
It’s less than a week left before it’s time to start celebrating Christmas! The best way to cool down in the middle of all the stress is by having a glöggfika. We are talking about an event that combines two of Sweden’s better traditions – glögg and fika. Glögg+ fika = glöggfika We might have mentioned fika…
Devín Castle, or Hrad Devín as it is in Slovak, is a historic castle located in the small town of Devín. The town is a borough of Bratislava, situated a short distance from the capital’s center. The castle itself stands on a high cliff, and it overlooks the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers….
We recently visited this Southern African country and did spend quite a few days on its roads. It was the first time for me driving outside the Northern European countries and consequently, it was also the first time for me driving on the “wrong” side of the road. It really did take some time getting…
Finland, you maiden in the north-eastern part of Europe. With your 99 years you are becoming an old lady. As today is your birthday of sorts, your independence day, I feel the need to dedicate a few words to you. 99 Years of Finnish Independence A lot has happened in the past 99 years –…
It is now quite some time since we got back home from our trip to Southern Africa. Although reality and normal life are getting the best of us, we can look back at the memories. We enjoyed an amazing trip that included stops in 3 different countries – Qatar, Namibia, and South Africa. The trip…
Every time we visit Slovakia, there are certain foods that I just must eat. One of these foods is Slovak cabbage soup or kapustnica as it is called. Kapusta means cabbage. The other day I came across some Polish sauerkraut at a local grocery store and the thought hit me – why not make the…
Today it was time for us to go and explore a bit more of Stockholm, to a part of the city that we so far had not uncovered. This weekend there is a Christmas market at the Drottningholm Palace. In other words, it was the perfect reason for us to visit. We had actually discussed visiting…
Wow, time is really flying by I realize now that I’m about to write a post about our long weekend in Bratislava. And that trip happened a week ago! As you may or may not know, we are very fond of the Slovak capital as that is where we met for the first time. I…
Our final whole day in South Africa had finally arrived after little more than two weeks. 16 days earlier we had left Sweden and we were now heading towards Port Elizabeth International Airport. The flight for the day was going to take us to Johannesburg where we would spend one last night before really saying: Good…
On our journey towards the east from Plettenberg Bay and the Birds of Eden, the weather started to worsen. It had been quite a promising morning when we left the guest house, but the wind was now increasing. We had two more stops planned for the drive to Port Elizabeth, the first was Cape St…
