You may have noticed that we had Malta fever this week? That's what happens when you start rummaging through the archives! It's been fun, and it's certainly given us the travel bug. Just as fun is the fact that we finally got started with newsletters. Don't miss the chance to be a member of our VIP team!

Malta Fever
On the blog we have really had Malta fever. It wasn't really meant to be. It all started when we wrote that post about Nature experiences in Malta. Then I realised that we had visited a lot of cities in Malta that we had never written about. This resulted in three blog posts:
What wonderful memories came to life! We have visited Malta three times, and we remember each visit with great pleasure. And it makes you want to travel and discover the world again!
Walk on Kungsholmen
In fact, we don't walk far from our houseboat. We jog or walk almost every day. To be honest, we're getting a little tired of our walks, but we trying to vary ourselves. This week we took a walk around Kungsholmen that we don't usually do. Some photos:
Newsletters
The biggest thing that happened this week is that we (drum roll!) started a newsletter. Many years ago we had a newsletter for the industry, but it fell by the wayside. We have long thought that we should have a newsletter for readers, and many people have asked us about this. And now, finally, we've got it!
We plan to send out about one newsletter a month, plus possibly something extra if something special happens. The idea is that everyone who signs up for the mailing list will be part of a small VIP group. For example, you can expect:
- Advance information on new products in our online shop
- Possibility to pre-book products
- VIP discounts in the webshop
- Tips for most interesting blog posts
- Advance information on new adventures
- Information on competitions, events and travel
Great if you want to join the team! You can sign up for the newsletter here:

Best this week
The best part of this week is that we at last got that newsletter up and running. How long we have been thinking about this! Has anything good happened during your week that you can tell us about?
The week ahead
We'll tell you more about what's going on in the webshop, while getting ready for the first newsletter. This feels really fun!

I read your blog every day/morning 7 days a week and of course I want to receive your newsletter too. (and get a discount in your web shop)
The Malta reports were good, maybe we can visit there in the future when we can feel safe travelling.
In the summer there will be other adventures and challenges, which I will return to later.
Have a nice weekend!

Nice to have a newsletter - you are so ambitious 😀.
The best thing that happened in the world was that the madman who went completely off the rails was kicked out of the White House.
The best thing this week in my little world was that we finally "got" a new and working AC so the temperature is good in here again. It has been cold!
Less good is that all restaurants and bars have been forced to close again from yesterday for at least 14 days. There are some positives in that they are allowed to sell take away, but it's really a shame for everyone in the industry...
Have a happy Friday!

Yes, you have to find something new to do in these corona times 🙂 Glad you finally got a good temperature!!! And yes, it certainly feels a little safer now with the big country in the west! Wishing you a nice weekend!

I'm glad you're taking up the newsletter again, which you've had in mind for a long time. Best of the week? Nice meetings with friends, nice long walks in different places, outdoor lunches and that my rehab is underway. We also had a really nice book club via Zoom. I think good things happen every day.
Happy Friday!

The best thing about this week is that spring has come one week closer🤪😊. Then we have really got Malta fever! Thanks for that!
We received a wonderful text message today from the youngest daughter who received her first vaccination shot for covid (even though she is a healthcare professional, it felt like it was a small step closer...).
Enjoy the newsletter!

Britt-Marie, so good to hear about the vaccine shot! Every person you hear about who gets it feels like a step along the way!!! Have a nice weekend!

It is very lucky that your blog exists. Then you can sort of travel even though you can't travel. The reports on Malta were great. Love that island.
Fun also with the newsletter! You are really ambitious:-)
