Recently I was invited for dinner to my second cousin. She visited me two years ago and now lives in Uppsala.She is the only tourist Australia ever had, who photographed Japanese tourists, cows and letterboxes. This is a very brave woman who climbs mountains, gallops horses and loo
ks quite hot on her motorbike (800 cc Intruder).
It was great to see her again and we had a lot to talk about. After I had entered her apartment it took an hour before I realised that the cat in the sofa actually was alive. This pitch black cat had a shiny coat like a stuffed velvet animal, and it blended in perfectly with some of the black fabric in the r
oom and it never moved, so I was confused.
A week after she also invited me to meet her sister who I had not seen for 25 years.
She lives with her family in the woods by the lake Mälaren where they run an Internet based business (http://www.informus.se/). This is exactly the kind of lifestyle I would like to have. -An Internet based business which you can theoretically run from a laptop. Not that their business is easy to run but it allows for a great lifestyle.

We walked through 
the wood to a small jetty where we took their motor boat out to a cliff by the water. A fantastic barbecued dinner was served by the husband. Australians know how to BBQ when they are born but this guy had made it an art.

Australians know how to BBQ when they are born but this guy had made it an art. It was a lot of fun to talk about our family and the memories we had. The water was absolutely calm and the surface was flat like a mirror. It was beautiful and the only sound you could hear was me, gobbling strawberries like a maniac. We waited for a long time to see the sunset but the problem is that even a bit south of the arctic circle, the sun does not go down quite.

One Saturday evening, my friends gave me a great gift. They took me to an outdoor musical in the garden of one of the castles outside Stockholm (Ulriksdals Slott). The show was a rock version of the music and life of a famous Swedish composer (Bellman) of the 18th century. Since the cast was all professional and the script was very good, it was all fantastic. The thing that also made it great was the hot sum 
mer weather. Before the musical we had dinner at a restaurant on a jetty nearby, fantastic off course.
Every summer in Sweden, hundreds of bridges and jetty's are converted to outdoor restaurants and cafes. It is standard that each chair always has an extra blanket on it. If the weather is warm, nothing beats going by boat to an island in Stockholm and stepping straight up to a nice cafe and to sit and watch the other boats and the life around the islands.
