SKYNI

After spending a night with Shay and Karin, we drove another hour to Göteborgs to visit Nicke’s friend from his university days. We stayed at Erik’s place for 2 nights in their very nice apartment in Göteborgs (Sweden’s second largest city).

It was simply wonderful and after clearing our garden for more than a week, it was really great to relax in their apartment. (makes me regret choosing a house over an apartment).

We had great wine and food, spent an entire day at Sweden’s best amusement park, Liseberg. The kids had a great time. In fact, they did not want to go home and had prefered if we left them there with Erik and Linnea and their 3 beautiful kids.

Over the Easter long weekend, we took a really long 6 hours drive to Orust to visit Karin and Shay, friends from Singapore. They moved back to Sweden 2 years ago and have been living in their beautiful summer cottage in Orust with their 2 children Matteo and Bianca.

It was a nice visit and my first stay in a small summer cottage out in the wilderness. We had a great time reminiscing the good times in Singapore and what we missed most. The scenery is simply fantastic and this is what Karin moved back to Sweden for…to enjoy the great nature and outdoors. I agree that it is breathtaking but i think it is a little too harsh for my city conditioned body and mind.

Do you know that the Swedes eat the most candy in the world during Easter? I am fully convinced this is true looking at the amount of candies the children get. Here is Dante (our nephew) with the Easter eggs he received one evening before Easter.

Jon and Linn are so sick of the candies that they actually returned them to me!!!
