Markus Lutteman's 'El Choco' is not a literary experience. But it is a fascinating journey into a world that is best experienced from a distance. After a failed drug smuggling operation, Jonas Andersson ends up in the notorious San Pedro prison in Bolivia. There are no locks on the cells and no guards. The violent and armed prisoners rule the roost.

Summer is not over, even though some of us have started working. We went to Ängbybadet in Bromma today and sunbathed for a few hours (although it wasn't really sunny all those hours...). There are quite a few swimming spots in Stockholm actually. Do you have a favourite spot?

Next weekend it's time: Robin and Alexandra are getting married! Yesterday morning they were both picked up for their hen and stag parties respectively. (Both knew that the other would be picked up, but neither of them knew what to expect themselves.) The hen party was a bit nicer than the stag party...

Yesterday it was time to leave Poland and head for the ferry. We had to wait for a long time in the ferry terminal before we could roll on, but finally it was time to head for Stockholm. The ferries are pretty boring really, but we were a big group and still had a good time.

Now we have made it to Stogi campsite in Gdansk. We have been here before, but this time it was difficult to find because they are rebuilding the roads. In the end we got there anyway. This campsite is crowded but the service is good: almost all staff speak English, you get maps and there is a small restaurant/shop.

We are at Camping Metropolis in Sopot and have now been joined by Peter's brother Dennis and his family. And that does not mean few people! The entire large American motorhome is packed. In addition, Peter's youngest son Billie came along. (He sleeps in our motorhome because we have five beds, but we can only have four in the car when we drive...) So now there are many of us at camping Metropolis in Sopot!

McLobster at McDonald's, have you heard of it? We are in Halifax on the east coast of Canada right now, and there seems to be an abundance of lobster. Lobster is served just about everywhere, and McDonald's is no exception. Yesterday we had a McLobster menu for lunch.

Today we took a "Harbour Hopper tour" here in Halifax, Canada, which is a tour with an amphibious boat. This green-blue intermediate between a car and a boat starts on land, and after some time on the city streets, you simply drive into the water.

We must say that all the people we have met in Canada are incredibly nice, and the service in the restaurants is fantastic. So we thought we'd take the opportunity to write about service and prices in Canada!
