We did somehow find our way out in the end! Now, which way next?

Lucerne


With Mount Pilatus in the background. Finally the weather started to clear up for us!

There aren't many stone carvings that bring me to tears but this one almost does! :-(

Of course Harvey is enjoying the alpine views. Cars have feelings too you know! ;-)

Head in the clouds

Cheap booze


Christel has already sniffed out the goods at Rewe!

Arrived in Frankfurt!


It only took 10,5hrs. Now we're at Down Under with Anja, drinking large beers and munching on emu burgers :-D

Meanwhile somewhere in Germany...


Been on the road now for 7hrs and have just past Hannover. Only 350km to go to Frankfurt. And it's HOT! Puh!;-)

Sweden's National Day


On June 6th we celebrate Sweden and all things Swedish. We also raise the flag and wear funny Sweden t-shirts. And if you become a Swedish national, they parade you in the local park and stick a flag in your hand to wave. I've not got that far yet, so they'll just have to do with me wearing the t-shirt! ;-))

Örkelljunga Golf Club - Mördarbacken

There's a reason why "Murder hill" up to the green on the 16th is called just that. When you get to the top you really do want to drop....especially in temperatures of up to 30C like it was on Sunday!

Gevalia 1st Prize!

Christel entered a competition on Gevalia's website and WON! So a huge box arrived yesterday with shed loads of java. The funny thing is that we don't drink that much of the stuff! LOL! The prize also included Laila Lindholm's "A Piece Of Cake" cook book, hehe! :-p
Now, if only we could win the lottery ;-))
