TRIP REPORT

Overall the trip to Sweden was a good one.

Meeting my parents and my brother and his sons and making sure that everyone is well, had time for a short stop to talk with Linda, one of my lovely cousins who just moved her shop to a new location and I wish her all the best, and you can all check it out through the link below and see if you find anything of interest.

Sadly enough the trip felt like it was a bit too short, as there was more people that I wanted to meet up with and spend more time with, but this is a good lesson for the next trip I guess.

I will also plan better and rent a car on my next trip, as to avoid having to find someone to pick me up or drive me to the airport, as well as to be more flexible and not having to borrow a car if I want to go visit a friend.  

Only thing is that it is a bit too expensive to rent directly from Arlanda most of the times that I have looked.

If you have any experience or suggestions, please share them.

At the moment I am back at work and with all the football leagues up and running this will also bring a boost for my casino product and hopefully we will start going in a good direction to have a good 2^nd half of 2019, as this always make work so much more enjoyable.

Below are just a few clips and photos from the trip to summarize it all up before we proceed with stuff happening in Malta going forward.

Brother's biggest catch of the day..the bottom of the lake...

On our way home with both nephews Viggo and Olle as well as my brother. 

During my stay, I also had the chance to visit Monroe's for the delicious burgers that they offer, and this is one of them, with a little bit of everything on it. 

And below is a nice sandwich cake that my mother made for us. 

I also went and visit my grandparents on my mothers side and their house is surrounded by forest and it is so peaceful and there is no way to get stressed while you are there. A few pictures below from where they live. 

Below is 2 pictures of me and Olle, the youngest of my nephews, and last picture is of my brother and both nephews Viggo (10) and Olle (7). 

I wish you all the best and hope you all have a wonderful day. 

Regards,

GOING HOME!

Last time I went back to Sweden was for christmas 2017, which makes it high time to pack the bag and put my fat ass in one of those "way to small for my ass" airplane seats.

Currently at my all time high on the weight scale and traveling is a pain in the ass and hopefully the plane will not be fully booked and I could be lucky to not get someone on the seat next to me, for both mine and their sake. 

Even if I were smaller, I really due hate the traveling part, standing in line, sitting on uncomfortable seats, waiting, waiting and then having to wait a bit more, and then when I am finally on Swedish grounds, I just have to take a 2 hour ride by car to finally arrive in my home town Sandviken. 

There are of course the obvious reasons to go back home, to visit family and friend and to make sure that everyone is fine, and then there is of course all the great junk food that I have been missing. 

Going home and eating a whole bunch of junk food is not exactly the best of plans, but who would be able to resist the kebab from Pizza House in Gävle and a pizza from Verona, and just to make sure that you get a little better understanding, I will be sure to share a few images with you from the visits. 

I will only go home for a week, and then there is back to work again and try and get into the right mindset to then go and win the Battle of Malta in October. 

I wish all of you out there all the best and talk to you soon.
