Right now it is time for the olive harvest in Croatia. We see it everywhere here on Brac, and not least at the campsite where we live. The campsite is full of olive trees and right now the owners are harvesting all day, together with the rest of the family who came here from Bosnia. At the tourist office, we also learned that the private olive oil museum may not be open right now. because the owners are in the middle of the harvest.. Everything seems to be about olives right now!

Is there caviar in a tube (like "Kalles caviar") abroad? Since we usually want to try local food when we are travelling, we tend to think that this kind of question is uninteresting. But if you're living abroad or staying abroad for a long time, you might want to try flavours from home sometimes. We have been travelling around much of Europe for 10 months now, so what about... is there caviar abroad?

Shopping in supermarkets in Southern Europe (and everywhere else!) is exciting and interesting. It is fun to browse through all the raw materials and products that you are not used to from Sweden. It's also interesting to observe the range of products in the shops as it tells you a lot about the food culture in the different countries. We have now travelled in France, Portugal, Spain and Italy for eight months. Here you can see our reflections from the supermarkets. Maybe you have other experiences?

We're not as impressed with Italian food as many people seem to be (seriously, pizza and pasta are mostly ... dough?), but there are some things they do really well. Things like olives, tomatoes and air-dried ham taste amazing here, and all these goodies are suitable for eating as 'antipasti'.

Yesterday we saw a whole bunch of people picking vongole mussels (or whatever these mussels are called?) here in Sardinia, and then we also got the urge to try it! On the small headland where we are standing (Punta S'Aliga, south of Portovesme) there is an outer beach, which is nice to swim in, and an inner beach, with stagnant shallow water filled with seaweed - this is apparently where the mussels thrive.

Right now we are hanging out in the motorhome and having a good time. We've been doing two training sessions a day for a few days, so today was a rest! It's raining outside, so we have spent time cleaning, even more travel planning and reading. And of course, you have to cook good food!
