A road trip through Norwegian fjords has been something we have wanted to do for a while, but it always got postponed. Living in neighboring Sweden we perceived the fjords as being very close and as something we can do anytime. Which is quite wrong as they are roughly 1000 kilometers away from Stockholm. Anyway,… Continue reading Fjord road trip in Norway

Jag skulle vilja börja med att framhålla att jag inte har någon anknytning till vare sig Kokpunkten eller deras konkurrenter. Jag fick ingen ersättning för recensionen, utan baserar den… Continue reading Kokpunkten – ett roligt actionbad med en väldigt avslappnad syn på säkerheten

To read this article in Swedish, please click here. This is a review of Kokpunkten, an aquapark in Västerås, Sweden. I would like to start by pointing out that I have no affiliation with Kokpunkten or with any of their competitors, and the review is not financially supported by anyone. Rather, it is based on… Continue reading Kokpunkten in Västerås – a fun aquapark with a very relaxed approach to safety

Good weather at the end of March in Sweden is not something I would bet on. On the other hand, Emili being bored at home during a long weekend, is. And Easter in Sweden, with both Good Friday and Easter Monday being holidays, is quite a long weekend. So we needed to get away. We… Continue reading Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia

I love flying. All kinds of flying. I have a pilot license for two-seater planes (ultralätt klass B (UL-B) in Sweden; light aircraft pilot licence (LAPL) in Europe). For various reasons, I have not been very active when it comes to this hobby, but I plan to return to it in the future. In addition to… Continue reading Flying from Stockholm to… well, Stockholm

November is considered in Sweden to be the worst month of the year weather-wise. I agree. It is often cold, wet and dark. Daylight is scarce and the impression of darkness is increased by having changed from summer time to winter time during the last weekend of October. In December the Christmas lights (and often… Continue reading A road trip on Gran Canaria

The final leg of the vacation was the drive back home to Stockholm. Even though we spent a couple of days in Zagreb after coming back from the Alps, those days were not very relaxing. We were running around doing shopping and meeting friends (not as many as we usually do when in Zagreb, though).… Continue reading Driving from Croatia to Sweden

After coming back from Rovinj to my parents’ house in Zagreb, Aneta and I set off on another road trip, through the Alps. This time without Emili. Here is a summary of the trip. Day 1: Zagreb – Eben im Pongau We set off from my parents’ house just after 8 o’clock, and after roughly… Continue reading A look back at our road trip through the Alps

We really love flying but we also really love driving. This year we decided to drive from Sweden to Croatia, which is planning-wise, duration-wise and cost-wise a more demanding option than flying, but it is also more fun. And we have not done it since 2009, so we were quite eager to try it again.… Continue reading From Sweden to Croatia in seven days

Both my wife Aneta and I love road trips. Luckily so does our almost three year old daughter Emili. She is in general well behaved when we travel. This means we were not too worried how she would endure though our road trip from Stockholm (Sweden) to Zagreb (Croatia) and back. As with any road… Continue reading Planning a road trip between Sweden and Croatia
