Miss you brother!

Albertina, Skärså

Maria treated me with a late birthday dinner at a super cosy fishing village where they have a very nice fish restaurant. Not that far from Bollnäs but had never been there before.

I will miss my brother Jonas for the rest of my days. I am thankful for all the joy and memories he blessed my life with. Over the past few years he became one of my closest and very best friends and he has now left a big emptiness inside. This picture was taken at Caledon hot springs one and half month ago when he came to South Africa for my wedding. How is it possible that life can change so fast? This morning I had to say the most difficult good bye in my life time - I miss you so much my dear brother!

Looking in the mirror 6th April-1st May 2013

April 2013 is for sure the most exciting month in my life time. The wedding was of course the highlight but all that came along with the wedding made it such a memorable month. We had a good number of family members coming in from Sweden and together with the efforts of my South African family I am sure they felt welcome and did not regret the long travels. At times it was exhausting as I wanted to spend time with all our family, visitors and guests. In our case the wedding was so much more than just the promises we gave one and other, it was a unique opportunity to bring our families and friends together. Both my South African and Swedish family took the opportunity to make a holiday of the wedding where we had all of them staying at the same venue for 5 days. Now the last guest/visitor has left and what remained with me and my wife Heidi is all the precious memories from the time of our lives.

Kruger National Park

Stayed two nights at Satara Camp and had some good luck with seeing loads of animals where we had close encounters with Elephants, Buffalos, Hyenas, Lions and Rhinos. Well hidden in the grass we also saw wild dogs and a leopard. Expecting to get better photos later from Tobias who hopefully took more professional photos. Some of our night encounters with for instance the male lions and the rhinos I did not manage to capture. In evenings we were enjoying camp fire and some good meat from the braai.

Mpumalanga - Blyde river canyon

Back to one of my favorite spots on earth

Cape Town - Table Mountain

Another eventful day! Drove into Cape Town and visited the Vinyl shop featuring in 'Searching for Sugar Man' followed with a climb to the top of Table Mountain. Tobias made sure we kept a slow pace and got plenty of time to enjoy the views ;) Now waiting for a proper Spanish Paella to be cooked by our Spanish visitor Angels.

Strandloper, Langebaan

Last two weeks have been filled of activities but no time to blog, as things are starting to slow down a bit I thought I could start with yesterdays visit to our favorite seafood restaurant in Langebaan on the West Coast. On the way back we also took a drive through the national park where we saw flamingos and Eland antelopes. 

I found my true companion!
