Karsbo - Sweden

A lovely day in beautiful Karsbo from where I have many dear childhood memories. Heidi surprised by catching the biggest fish and showed up a unique rowing style as she was zigzagging across the lake ;) 

Cottage jumping in Sweden

No shortage of lake side places to visit and stay at while in Sweden. The idea was to also visit Karsbo which would have meant all four family cottages in one day. 

Visit to Stockholm

Met Debbie at Arlanda, went for shopping, stayed with Tobias who cooked an excellent dinner for us, took a boat from Nacka in to Stockholm and walked around in old town, saw a colorful parade, visited Linda and Lorenz in Uppsala and 38 hours later now back in Bollnäs.

Durban

Enjoying beautiful Durban on my own while Heidi is busy teaching at the University. So far long beach walks and a few films at the film festival. Hope flu will be gone by tomorrow so I can go out with kayak.

Monday run

Just testing a cool feature where you are supposed to see a 3D video in Google Earth of my 6km run. At least it seems to work with some browsers...

For Valentines my lovely wife had booked us in for a night at a guest house next to the light house. Visited the Southernmost tip of Africa where the Indian Ocean meet the Atlantic Ocean.
