Now we have come home to Sweden, after our tour of Poland and the Czech Republic, and our first destination here at home was Tylösand outside Halmstad.

Last Saturday, after the big event at the Sheraton hotel In Stockholm, a small group of bloggers met for brunch at the new design hotel Hobo Hotel on Brunkebergs torg.

Yesterday I was sweating in my jeans and my thin, thin summer jacket. Fantastic! As you may know, I (and Peter!) walk to work every day. Here are some photos from yesterday's walk along Karlbergssjön.

Read moreYesterday morning we woke up in our cabins on the sailing ship Gratia, moored to a rock at Träskö-Storö in the Stockholm archipelago. The morning started with a great ship's breakfast with eggs and bacon, scones and porridge, and of course cleaning. Then it was time to sail to Stockholm and Strandvägen.
Read moreYesterday we spent a whole day on board the sailing ship Gratia, which belongs to the Swedish Cruise Club Sailing School Foundation. There were many hours out in the fresh sea air. We hoisted and salvaged sails, tied knots, cruised, pumped water with the bilge pumps, slept on deck and had fun with the crew over good food in the mess hall. So what is life on board a sailing ship from 1900 really like?
