We celebrate Midsummer with Peter's brother on Blidö in the Stockholm archipelago. They have a nice red cottage right by the water. Very idyllic and just what you want on a Midsummer's Eve. There are a total of 26 people here, and three motorhomes are parked around the site.

Easter lunch on deck in the sun - what a fantastic day we have enjoyed! After a long Swedish winter, we are shocked. The sun is shining - and it's warm! We had to hurry to clean the deck from boards and building materials, and get the outdoor furniture in the motorhome. Now we wanted to eat Easter lunch on the deck!

Yesterday we celebrated New Year's Eve in Langkawi, at a place by the beach called Oasis. For 100 ringgit (about 200 SEK) per person we got a buffet, fire, lanterns and fireworks. The nicest surprise was that Linda, Ludvig and their children, from Mary af Rövarhamn, came to join us, along with another Swedish family they know who are staying at a nearby hotel.

This year we decided on a midsummer celebration at Rullsands camping. We were not at all prepared for the heat and had no swimwear, but it worked out anyway! Then it has become both midsummer lunch and midsummer dinner. And also some hanging out in the beach bar.

Today is Sweden's national day. This is a fairly new holiday in Sweden: Swedish Flag Day became a national day in 1983 and only in 2005 did it become a public holiday. You are free, but there are not yet many traditions ...

What an amazing experience to be at a Kenyan wedding! They told us that this was a small wedding because there were "only" 400 guests. In our eyes it was of course a huge wedding. Moreover, a fantastic wedding with beautiful clothes, joy and dancing.

Now we have rolled into Västerås mälarcamping. We were actually looking for a pitch in Västerås, at the marina, but did not find it for some reason. Instead, it became really good here at the campsite! Here we have had everything from a walk in the sun (and the cold), Easter lunch, relaxing in front of some recorded TV series, the first barbecue of the year and meeting nice camping neighbours.
