The night before last there was an opening of the Taracci store, which sells stylish menswear in Stockholm and has just moved to the MOOD Stockholm mall. Peter's son Robin works in this store so we were of course there to drink bubbly, mingle and look at the latest collections.

We were treated to both medieval and Christmas spirit in Nuremberg. This German city has a long history and was already a well-developed place in the 13th century with noble merchants, a council of mayors and foreign trade.

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.

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?

Today we looked around Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia with about 150,000 inhabitants (over 400,000 if you count the entire metropolitan area). This is a charming city with an old city centre where you can feel the wings of history. Right now it is incredibly hot and we have been shopping in shops with AC, having a pasta lunch in the shade and enjoying an ice cream indoors at an ice cream parlour with AC ...

On every beach here in Sardinia (and in many other places, of course) you will find them: the vendors. They sell just about anything you can imagine selling: hats, sunglasses, sarongs, summer dresses, beach towels, beach toys, jewellery, speakers, iPhone cases...

Yesterday we went shopping in Agde. It is really fun to go to French supermarkets, which are packed with delicacies and different products than what we are used to in Sweden. However, it is quite expensive, at least compared to Spain and Portugal. Join us for a little tour of the huge Hyper U supermarket!

We had actually intended to make a slightly longer stop in Torrevieja, and maybe meet both bloggers and friends of friends, but that did not happen. The timing was not quite right, and then we did not find a good place where we wanted to stay either. So it was a quick visit!
