It's not every day you get long distance guests, all the way from New Zealand! Peter's son Robin is married to Alexandra, and her father lives in Sweden but is originally from New Zealand. Most of his relatives live on the other side of the world, but in the last few days three of them have been visiting here in Stockholm. On Saturday, they came to visit the houseboat and then Robin and Alexandra offered two real Swedish traditions: kubb and crayfish disc.

As we publish this, we're about to board the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship in the Mediterranean, but we don't have much to tell you about it all yet. Instead, we'll tell you about Peter's son Robin's 30th birthday celebration last Friday. What a surprise party! Let's put it this way: Robin suspected absolutely nothing.
Read moreThis year Silja Line turns 60 years old, and the celebration continues throughout the year. Yesterday it was time for the anniversary cruise in Stockholm, and all we can say is: what a cruise and what a party! We travelled on the Silja Symphony from Värtahamnen to the centre of Stockholm, and this was a trip with a lot of excitement. The festivities were not only drinks and food, but also live bands, water cannons and aeroplanes. Among other things.
Read moreHello there and now we are doing Happy Friday! The sun is shining and the heat is coming and that's exactly how we want it! I obviously want lots of input from you all, but I'll start. What would it look like otherwise! You know we were in Amsterdam and wow, what a concert! We needed to be with friends and with lots of laughter, but do you think for a second that I could stay away from filming and taking photos? NOT! Join us for the party and fun news!

Read moreLast Thursday evening we went to Arlanda and met up with the group we're spending the weekend with in Amsterdam. We started with a really good evening: a beer at Arlanda and then, after a short flight, a taxi to the super nice house we rented and dinner on an outdoor terrace in the warm Amsterdam air.
We celebrated New Year's Eve at Wallmans in Stockholm with our friends Lennart and Beata. Here you are served a 6-course dinner in the lounge while the musical artists both show and serve. So, how was the food, show and party? Here is our review!
Read moreOk, here we go and Peter at the controls again. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN was the new motto when punk entered my life. The Sex Pistols and the Clash were new and I just had to go with it. What the hell, I had holes in my ears, and a few chains hanging from my mouth didn't bother me. Torn jackets and general trash, that was me then and I just had to try it. Now my mum and dad were falling over backwards again, probably thinking "what the hell has he come up with now?". Like Emil in Lönneberga, haha.
Read moreWe experienced a light festival in Malta, specifically in the city of Vittoriosa! Every year in October, "Birgufest", a festival of lights is organised in Malta. All electricity is switched off in Vittoriosa and the only thing that lights up are the candles.
Read moreOK, here we go and it's Peter in Malta at the controls. Full speed from 02.45 Thursday morning because our bus left 04.14 from Fridhemsplan. Good start, hmm. We were delayed and had to run to the bus in the morning with packing, and if no one else would get on the bus in Fridhemsplan we would have really missed it. Ok, now we are on track and we are going to Malta and how fun and what a first day.
