Review of 2024
Oh yeah, the New year eve between 2023 and 2024 was spent with the best of friends from Borås, and kind of feels like we always do that. A bit of a tradition of ours by now to spend all of the Swedish holidays together. And right after the New years weekend we took off for almost a week in Poland, where we spent most of our time hanging around Gdansk. At the end of March we had a long weekend on the island of Malta, kind of a dream come true for the both of us since we have been wanting to go there for … I don’t know,…

Review of 2023
We started the year 2023 with a weekend at our friend’s house on the outskirts of Borås, where we spent New Year’s with great food, wine, and laughter. Quite a good way to start the new year, don’t you think? But other than that, January was spent mostly at home. In late February we went back to Bologna in Italy for the second time. It’s a fantastic city and I don’t think I’m lying when I speak for the both of us, we would love to go back again. March is a busy month for us, workwise, but at the beginning of April, we headed off for a weekend in…

Lazy days on the beach
A post like this one kind of don’t need a lot of words right? When you look at images like this you can just feel the warmth from the sun, and almost feel the way your feet touches the rounded pebbles on the bottom of the ocean. The soothing sound of the waves as they rock your body back and forth. You close your eyes and enjoy the feeling you get when the sunshine hits your eyelids. Mmh, sunshine, summer and vacation. Greece is good like that! Have you ever been to Greece? If you have, what’s your favorite place? And if you could choose one place in Greece, where…

Back on the island Rhodes
Oh yes, this is definitely a year of traveling within Greece for us, and to be traveling with our family. So we have just returned from yet another trip to the island of Rhodes in Greece, but this time it was not just us, we are traveling together with Jacobs’s niece and her daughter. This was actually our third time on this island. Our first visit to Rhodes was in July of 2016, together with my mother and our son. At that time we were staying in a small village, along the west side of the coast. We actually had another booking for Rhodes during 2020, but we all know…

Review of 2021
Has another year just gone by? People say that time flies when you’re having a good time, and the year 2021 has been a lot of fun, especially if you compare it to 2020 where the entire year was filled with fear. The pandemic is very much alive, but we are all starting to manage it better and most of us are fully vaccinated and that’s really great! January, Idre Sweden February, Gålö Sweden We had some great winter wonderland experiences here in Sweden during the first quarter of the year, we visited places like Idre up in the north of Sweden, went camping in Gålö, and just enjoyed the…

Traveling during a pandemic
When we traveled to Rhodes in late September it was actually our first trip abroad since the pandemic hit us. I really thought that we would book our first trip right after we took our second dose of the vaccine, but to be honest – I was a bit scared of traveling for the first time since the pandemic. I know a lot of people started traveling again, or never even stopped traveling during the pandemic, but for me personally it felt wrong to even even think about going abroad up until this point.We’ve traveled within Sweden for sure, but not abroad. Until this trip. Traveling with the restrictions and…

Walk with me through the streets of Lindos
The whitewashed homes with blue accents and doors are somewhat iconic when it comes to Greek-styled homes, so naturally, you can find quite a few white buildings on Lindos as well. It’s not just pretty and picturesque but in fact, the white color helps to cool down the island homes during the summer heat, but I have also read that it was used to prevent the spread of cholera. The whitewash contained limestone, which is a disinfectant, and not many others wherein common use during that time. Should we all paint our houses with limestone? Of just visit Greece more often?

Boattrip to Lindos
After a few days of just enjoying the beaches and sunshine, we were up for a bit of an adventure so we ended up booking a boat trip to the town Lindos. If you book a tour as we did, you get picked up in the harbor in the city of Rhodes, there’s one stop on the way to pick more people but otherwise, it’s a few hours on the boat, and when you arrive in the small port of Lindos. They have a small bar on the boat with some snacks and cold beverages, restrooms, of course, sunbeds both on the foredeck and on the flybridge terrasse. They even…
