A weekend in Blekinge

I recently spent a weekend in blekinge...

Passing by the train station in Gothenburg...

Anddriving trhough a rainly Gothenburg...

My friend Oskar prepared a Wunderbaum to enhance the "new car" experience...

Passing by ikea south of gothenburg...

Still raining...

And moisy windshield wipers...completeing the David Bowie album played on coast line road...

However, sun and windpower met us after some hour...

And a spanish construction, just like my swedish friend in taiwan was investing in...

We also passed by a truck that had some accident...

And some tents were "Sweden Rock" festival was held...

Many rockers passing by the road...

Oskar keps showing us some scenic sites, just arriving to Blekinge...

And Oskars sister, who had a career in the philippines and Vietnam....

Later Oskar showed us the locel toilet...

It wasnt that complicated...but still clear instductions were given...

...how to take a shit in Blekinge...

I was treated an ice cream when I arrived...feli like I arrived to heaven...

Omg...a young Oskar...

I was also treated a whisky...to improve my James Bond feeling...(Oskar likes James Bond)....

We also played memory, with swedish toursit spots...not sure why...maybe some tradation...

...Oskar played only wearing 1 sock...

And his Orchid island bracelet...

He also showed hos collection of non-swedish outfit...this one was boght in Burma...I asked if I could wear it some day...and he said yes...cool!...

Oskar also showed some move about some alpaca...

Omg...Taiwan Beer...(emplty bottles)...

And Amarone...thats...bitter...but cool...oneof my favorites...the Tommasi...

In the morning, Mr Stenriker made some local bread...by roasting some wheat...

And some other fluor...

It was nice..

And I got to wear my Myanmar dress...it reminded me of my time in Bhutan...

Oskars sister also made a name tag for the house...base on its appearance...(a sugar box)...

We continued the day by feeding some cows...

with Oak leaf...

And Alpacas...

They were pretty funny animals...

Recently cut...

We also went for a walk...

Omg...a factroy decorating the landscape...

And some stone formation...this area has many smal stones...

...and some bird viewers...

Out there is the ocean...(the baltic sea)...I remember some years ago when I went from STockholm to Gothenburg by boat...and passed by the island out there...(Hanö)...

Some local sheap...

And a sculpture of a bear and a boy picking blue berries...a famous child song poet is from this area...

We also had some local beer in the fridge...

"APA"...American Pale Ale...

Every day we had a huge breakfast...

Oskar doesnt drink coffee since last year...so we had taiwan tea...

We also passed by Oskars parents house...and met his family...

Nice garden...

He even have a special parking lot only for Porsche...

...The next stop was some peninsula where we went for a run...

They also had a sauna...

We wanted to the the animal that is famous from this part of sweden...its called a "Stag beetle"...however we only saw normal beetles...

After the run...Oskar went for the sauna...it was 20 degrees in the water...I was happy with refusing...

He will particiapte in a 3k swimming competition later on this summer...I was about to join him for some practice...but we never had time...

This sauna was public...we dropped some coins in this box...and everything was set...

A swedish organisation for outdoor activites was promotion this house...

Omg..."Bökegöl"...sounds pretty wierd...for lake...

I did some junutsi streching...after the run...wearing my burma dress...I really got some fighting spirit out here...

Next stop was Karlshams city...this is the local brewery...

We drove around for a while...until we came to the harbour....

Where we had some local food...I think...however, I sispect that the salmon was from Norway...

"Fish cabin"...

Some bike trail started from here...

And we also passed by some monument, from a classic swedish movie...(and book)...

And also passed by some sites from the movie...

Like this path...

Omg..."Kv Alingsås"...I feel like home...

More sites where the charactes from the book passed by...

Wow...Live Striptease in this small town...hosted by "McDragan"...

And at this place some famous swedish people interviewed an interesting person, who introduced

We later on went back to our house...and enjoyed another ice cream...

And toblerone...

More Alpaca feeding...

And later on we went north, nearby Växjö to pick up people...

And also got te meet Oskars whole family again...

And later Oskar showed his special Pizza...called "sopsäck"...(garbage bag)...

I had some questions but got the answer: "no why"...

Enjoying a whisky, I felt like I was back in asia for a while...

It was a spicy pizza...

Oskar went to some pizzeria in Africa, hosted by an italian guy, who made "the best pizza in the world":..Oskar if very picky with the pizza...and this cant be anything else thatn a master peice...

He later on wrapped it up...

I also made a pizza...with some left overs...

Omg...the Garbage back...it was very good...

The next morning...Oskar prepared breakfast again..(local style)...

Feeding the Alpacas...

Wow...a ladybug...

At the Stenriker mansion they had honey from a nearby beehive...

I also got to see Oskars porsche...

...epic...

And got some news about a friends friend of mine...who also studied in Taiwan...

The soap at Stenriker mansion was very intersting...like a grape fruit...

Or...some pig ear...?!?...

They also had a pond...that was cool...

We were now heading a little north, for a hike...

Enjoying the environment of this part of sweden...

Basically, we walked along this river...

Or walked along the "blue" trail...

Oskars dog also joined up...

They also had some sluice, and a path for salmon...

This was a fish counter...

And some archery target...

It was pretty warm this day...

Omg...one of the highest antennas in sweden...

And some dead insect...

The dog was pretty cute...guarding us like a sheep herd..

They hace some clams here thats the most endangered in europe...

We were also fooled to cross the rover at some spot...reminding me of the bridges in the himalaya...(without the mountain views)...

It was even broken at some parts...

We also had a quick stop at some small house...

....where the stream was strong...

Waiting for Oskar...

...who later on showed us a short cut...in the woods...

Wow...a small frog....we counted animals during the trip and got up to 30 different kinds...

We also passed by a huge beech forest...

We have them at the west coast too...but here they are natural...

The dog waiting for Oskar...

And another fake stag beetle....

Many people were paying for a fishing permit in this river...

Some spots were more expensive than others...to get a permit at...

This fisherman had his permit tied to his arm...

But so far they did catch anything...

...each area was called a "pool"....

Later on we also passed by a golf court...

And had a short pause...

Omg....a blue baloon...I wonder who put this one here...

And a strangly shaped stump...

This was almost the end of the trail...

With this house reminding me of the starting ponit of the 20 centimeter ridge that I did in Taiwan last year...

We also collected some trash that others left behind...

At the finish we stopped for a great buffet...

They also had local beer...

I had this one...

Omg...so much food at the same time..."why dont I go for many rounds instead? - "I will"....

More fishermen....

We decided to find a local geocache while here...

It was a pretty big container with a trackable inside...

Later on we went back to Stenriker Mansion...

I found some wild strawberries...

And the ferry to lithuania...

We later on prepared some BBQ with Oskars family...

It was nice...

Even if people have the right to walk on this ground...some people tend to litter...so they had to put up signs that reminded people of not littering...(probably tourists)...
