Light breakfast

So there are breads and cheeses
Herring and "leverpastej" and more cheese plus yoghurt and fruits 
And of course eggs, bacon and "princekorv" 
They even have nutella for the croissant and lingonberries and whipped cream for the pancakes.....

Good coffe and different juices. Just like your average breakfast at home, right ! 
Good thing I brought stretchy jeans :-)

Birthday party

 This morning we met with Jennifer and Gunnel for breakfast 

In the afternoon we were invited to a birthday party in Norrtälje. Is there anyone doubting we are having a lot of fun ?! Tomorrow we go to visit Harriet near where my mother used to live . Never a dull moment for sure !
 It was Esko's birthday today. He and Mona used to be neighbors of Kristina's in Härnösand . We had a delicious dinner cooked by Esko. We may get to have them come for a visit one day they say. They leave for New York on Saturday . Going just for fun for a week :-)

Everyone is busy with their phones .....mostly to take pictures !

Next morning....fun at breakfast





Always fun with "extra dotter" Jennifer ( pronounced Yennifer ) Many friends in Rye have met Jennifer. Hopefully she will visit again with her husband and two boys :-) mamma Gunnel was also there. Pictures are not in IPad yet. Stay tuned.

Ever interesting walls at Nordic C hotel rooms !



It is a good thing we turn out the light at night :-)

Having our after five glass of wine

We have arrived safely at the Nordic C hotel and immediately had a shrimp salad (räksallad) in the bar part of the lobby . Glad the long bus ride is done. To my family : yes we stopped at Tönnebro and had an egg and ansjovis sandwich (since we had planned on shrimp salad at the hotel.)
Still having a great time. Tomorrow to Norrtälje to the birthday party !

Clever elevator

My aunt Kristina lives in an apartment building on the second floor. It's the nicest apartment with a gorgous view over the bay ( it goes out to your Baltic Sea. ) one drawback is the lack of a built in elevator. A neighbor on the third floor had this wonderful "contraption" installed. Kristina doesn't need it but it is nice to know that it is there if she ever should.




It slows down around the corners :-) then speeds up again .
With the help of a remote you can stop and go depending on where you are headed. How clever !

Evening view. Beautiful sunsets over the water !
