is my nieces Mille, Line and Siri! Sunna and I took a train down with our doggies and did some shopping before we arrived to their new house and was greeted with hugs and a delicious shrimp pasta!

Linn went home to her sisters apartment in Ängelholm and I went home to my family’s house in Torekov. This is my first day back home, fresh air, spring, my own bed, Swedish food, friends and family.. Waaah I’ve been missing home! Absolutely awesome to be back.

Woke up to a welcoming sign that mum and Svea had made for us!

Dad made me Swedish pancakes for breakfast!

Hanged out with my little sister Svea. Shes’s the best!

Pumped some air into the tires of my old bike and went down towards the village.

Spring was definitely in the air!

I steered towards the restaurant. First thing on my todolist, say hi to diana, thewa and antonio! So unreal to be back. For you who are new to our Swedish life. This is our family restuarant, I’m the 4th generation together with my younger brother and sister. This is where things go down during the summer time, when everything goes in 190km/h, staff everywhere, guests everywhere, food, drinks, and loong nights in the bar. So much fun and so great to be back!

Diana and antonio showed me the new installations. Every winter Diana comes up with these brilliant solutions for little things that we have been irritating us on during the past season. Below the new water dispenser from Thoreau.

Hanged out with Thewa in the rebuilt cellar!

He made a plate of awesome Swedish meatballs for mee, have been dreaming about these for moooonths!

 

Took a walk through the harbour.

And along the coast back home.

Mum was ready with more food. And more Swedish potatoes.. MMMMMH nothing like swedish potatoes.

And good south african wine.

My grandmother the day before turning 84, soo good to see her again!

Last April it’s a Swedish tradition to lit a fire, burn all the old stuff way and sing in the spring. Usually we make a big fire with the whole village but we made our own in the garden.

Marshmallow barbecue time!

Feels amazing to be back. We will keep updating the blog. The weather is great and there is so much fun stuff to do, see you soon!

We spent a lot of time at that amazing beach break in Costa Rica, we where acutally there for three whole weeks and got to excperience the local easter celebrations and all. But we are in a hurry to show you our whole travel route, actually we only have three nights left on our trip, then we are off home on a plane to Sweden. We’ll show you more from Costa Rica soon, promise.

Here’s from our last week which we spent with Matt & Margaret aka Bing surfboards at this amazing all inclusive surf camp in Nicaragua. We got to know a bunch of new cool people and surf some epic sessions together the whole group. Can you imagine 13 stoked surfers on a one week trip with more bing boards than people, unlimited amount of beer, off shore all days and cranking waves just in front of the pool? I can’t and I still excsperienced it..

Here’s a sneak peak, there’s a lot more to come from this week as well.

Thanks everyone who where with us and made this week so fantastic! And super-duper-thanks to Matt & Margaret who set this whole thing up. And making all the boards we surf.. It so rad, we kinda started our trip with Bing in California, and now we have kind of ended it with them in Nicaragua. Only that we have been bussing down moving further south every day since then, and they flew down when we got close enough to our end. Awesome. Thanks.

The beach here is amazing. The only building on the beach is the restaurant which is a palapa/bungalow made of bamboo etc and easily could be taken down and poff, suddenly you would have an untouched beach with a beautiful wave in front of it! Kind of hard to find 2012. It’s the community who runs it all and the local families take turns running the restaurant. You pay 20 pesos per person to enter the road down to the beach, money that goes to the local school and to maintain the road etc.

If you ever find yourself in this little paradise make sure not to miss the guacamole with home made nachos and the torta de pescado (fish sandwich), it goes along great with a coconut! Feels like being stranded on a lonely beach with food as your only companion, could really be worse huh?

Love the colors of Mexico so much. It’s definitely the most colorful country we have been to. Love it.
