We're back in Sweden, but now we have to tell you about the cheese and dish raclette in Switzerland! Before we travelled to Switzerland, I had a rather vague idea of raclette. I knew it involved melted cheese and some kind of side dish, but you can't just eat cheese for dinner, can you? Or can you ... ? We have now had raclette twice - once in the traditional way and once with a raclette iron on the table. Now we know a bit more what it's all about.

Today we can tell you about breathtaking views and making raclette cheese. We are currently in the Swiss Alps, more specifically in Nendaz in Valais. Yesterday we went on a trip even higher up in the Alps. Despite the bad weather, we got to experience unbelievable views. We also got to see how the famous raclette cheese and a number of other Swiss cheeses are made.
Read moreSometimes you don't have to go so far to experience the world. Last Sunday we went to Veddesta in Järfälla outside Stockholm to look at a sofa bed and a chest of drawers. At the same time, we took the opportunity to visit the grocery store Matvärlden, which is also located here. We bought some small things, but above all we walked around and looked. Wow! It was like travelling around the world!
Read moreOk, here we go! The week has been crazy and the sea is storming. The next workshop Iveco has fixed two errors out of four on the motorhome, and they do not intend to help me further with the rear view camera, and that the battery does not charge with cable, yes, life plays, haha.
Read moreThis weekend we visited our friends Lennart and Beata, who live in Bromma in Stockholm. Instead of being invited for dinner (which we thought we would be), they wanted to invite us to their nearest sushi restaurant. We love sushi so we had absolutely nothing against it, but we didn't realise that we would be invited to what is perhaps the best sushi in Stockholm...!

Read moreI've always been a bit confused when people talk about fondue. What exactly is it? The word sounds undeniably French. But it also makes me think of the Alps. Peter, however, who is 15 years older than me, has grown up with fondue as a "Swedish classic". And besides ... you can get some kind of fondue in some Asian restaurants, right?
Read moreChinese food has got a bit of a bad reputation in our part of the world, unfortunately. At best, you might think of a tasty, but predictable, "four small dishes" at a suburban restaurant with a red plush interior. That's not necessarily wrong in itself, but Chinese food can be so much more than that! Last Thursday evening, my old colleagues celebrated my departure and we took the opportunity to try Chinese fine dining in Stockholm.
