There have been many electric bike rides in Stockholm lately, and we are slowly learning bike paths and parking tricks. Peter has also managed to do a beer tasting with Czech beer. Happy Friday!

Electric bike tours in Stockholm

We use our electric bikes all the time. We use them to buy food or stuff in DIY stores (we get a lot in Peter's basket!) and to get to meetings with, for example, tourist offices and other partners. In the last week there have been two such meetings, so we have been whizzing around Stockholm. Really fun actually, and quick and easy!

Beer tasting with Czech beer

This week we were also invited to a beer tasting with Czech beer. Unfortunately, I (Helena) could not come because I had an important meeting at work, but of course that did not stop Peter.

Jan-Erik Svensson, who has worked with beer since the 1980s, conducted the tasting. He has been the head judge at the Swedish home brewing championships, judged at the World Beer Cup in the US and the European Beer Star in Munich, taught beer at catering schools and was the head judge at the Stockholm Beer Festival.

Jan-Erik is also the author of several books on beer, has held hundreds of beer tastings and organises annual beer tours to Europe's top beer countries. In other words, what Jan-Erik doesn't know about beer is not worth knowing.

What did Peter think of the beer? Well, it got really good marks. Even the non-alcoholic beer (Bernard) passed with flying colours. The only one he wasn't too keen on was the dark beer, but that could be because he's simply not too keen on dark beer ...

What about the healthy habits?

Peter is very goal-oriented right now, both with food and exercise, so it was just... little beer at the beer tasting, even though it was good. This is, according to him, the first time he left beer or wine at a tasting!

At home, he's serving some kind of "plates" for dinner right now with a mix of rice, seafood, halloumi and a lot of different vegetables. Super tasty! There will be only water to drink, and then we have the lots of fruit at home ...

Best this week?

We are happy that the electric bikes are working so well and that we are (somewhat) keeping up with exercise and good food. What has been positive during your week?

The week ahead

We have several exciting reports in the pipeline, including a report on a dramatic motorhome incident, an interview on an exciting holiday destination and perhaps some reports on experiences in Stockholm. We end with a photo from the marina this week. Happy Friday!
