Weekend in Denmark
I finished early today and left the office at 11.20 to drive up to Sønderborg for the weekend. I’ve been here in 2005 with our sailing boat. So it been a while. I walked along the shore to the centre of the small town. Now I’m taking an afternoon drink at the Espresso House. Of…

Rolling Home
I arrived at the harbour in Göteborg quite early, so I took the tram into the city centre for a little while. Once I came back, I almost boarded immediately. Now I’m in the ferry waiting to get something to eat. Then it’s time to relax in the cabin. Maybe I’ll go for a quick…

Well, this is my sister’s idea of a rest day hike… (Find it on Komoot there.) It has become quite evident, that we not only have a very different level of fitness, but also a significantly different understanding of what a “rest day” should look like… Kidding. Feet and knees are put up and hurting…

Abisko (and Kungsleden)
Today we went on a hike to Abisko. Abisko is start and finish (whatever your direction of travel is) of the famous Kungsleden, a 443 km hike through the Swedish fjäll. The STF station is about 9 km away from Björkliden on the Rallarvägen. Fortunately, it is a fairly flat trail, but my feet and…

Nuolja
Today my sister arrived in Björkliden as well. Ronja was thrilled to have her back. The weather was beautiful: sunny and a fresh breeze. My watch said this: My sister said: Let’s walk up there: So, naturally, that’s where we went… About a four-and-a-half hour round trip with a short lunch break (had to test…
