Home Sweet Sweden

Gothenburg, Sweden

Honestly I don't have much to share on my blog this time regardless of the massive undescribable experiences I have had the last 2 weeks.

All I can say is that I feel very much alive and never as alive as I am now in my entire life.

5 countries in 2 weeks

Venice - Nice - Amsterdam - Guthenburg

We were planning to only stay in Venice for 1 night but ended up staying for almost a week.. We were both really looking forward to Venice and really excited about it. But once we got there the place was full of tourists and most of the boats on the canal were motorised. The gondolas were only used for tourists.

It was a bit dissapointing at first until we were lead to a place called Padova, which is about 10 minutes by train away from Venice. We discovered that this is where Venice has gone to. Padova was definitely a characteristic place and that was definitely where 'city of love' was.

At the camp we were staying at, we met a couple of Indonesian girls, beautiful and down to earth Putri and gorgeous and brilliant Siska. We didn't spend much time with them as they were staying only for one night, but it was really nice and Mats got to practice his bahasa indonesian a bit.

After spending our last day visiting Leonardo Da Vinci museum, we started heading off to Nice where we planned to stay with our beloved extremely generous, wise and knowledgable brother, Greg. We had a really nice time spending our days and nights with Greg, beautiful Candice and extremely adorable Stellan. (Hearing a two year old speaking French is the cutest thing ever)

During our stay, we had the chance to visit Monaco for a day. Monaco is definitely something else.

After saying our farewells to Candice and Stellan, Greg took us to the train station for us to start heading off to Amsterdam.  Thank you so very much Greg for everything. <3

2,5 hours of train ride and 23 hours of bus ride from Nice to Amsterdam. Mats' comment on that was "I've never lied for such an extended amount of time in the fetal position since I came out of the womb"

Amsterdam o Amsterdam, home we were to meet again with our beautiful sister Silvana and the cutest dog ever, Bodi. We only stayed for a couple of nights, but it was another great stay. Thank you again o so very much Silvana, we love you.. <3

After 2 nights, we took the night train heading to Copenhagen, Denmark that took 16 hours in total and we had 3 hours time to spend there so we headed off to a place called Christiania which is a hippy town in Copenhagen. It was the best place to hang out after a long train ride.

Then we got on the bus to head for Guthenburg, Sweden where we were picked up Mats' beautiful and loving mom, Helena, Mats' modest yet intellegent brother, Patrick at the station. Welcome home my love
