*Beep Beep*, time to get up. Time to go to Sweden!
Not only was this the first day of my vacation trip to Sweden, but also my last day in my apartment, with Kai. The first thing I thought when I woke up was "damn, last day with Kai... and shit I still need to move some stuff out of the apartment!"
After rushing with the last few things from my apartment, I met Phil and his brother Lee downstairs outside. It seems that we found the girl of the trip... Phil had packed almost as much as me and Vlada together. In a way, Phil reminds me of my mom.
Gothenburg city! But... where's batman?!
Ah, there he is! Jimmy is waiting just as we arrive to Gothenburg City bus & train terminal.
After leaving our stuff at Jimmys apartment, we decided to go downtown to try some Swedish place to eat.
After strolling around finding nothing (as apparently restaurants close disguistingly early on a... friday?) we managed to find Little London (quite ironic as we really wanted to find a Swedish... or at least non-english place to eat). There we join up with my friend Mats "Ölf" Söderholm and enjoys a dinner filled with conversations from a actually pretty drunk Ölf.
Borlänge, wohoo! Shopping time!
Around lunch time on the saturday we finally arrive at our final destination (kind of), Borlänge! To let the girls get their urges fulfilled, I took Phil and Vlada to the shopping centre. Actually I bought like 6 t-shirts so I'm not quite innocent myself ;)
Once we were done, it was dinner time at my parents... with some SWEDISH food for once! :) If I remember correctly we ate Pork Filet Stew with potatoes and Lingon Berries. AWESOME!
We spent the rest of the evening drinking with my family, trying out some whiskey and christmas "glögg". When we started to get tired and thought "heck, isnt it time to get to bed", the time was... 19:00 maybe? - It is incredible how you can be decieved when it gets dark around 14-15.
I was hoping to publish a funny video of Phil falling asleep in my sofa, snooring, while my brother uses his "imitating cat" application for Android to mimic Phils snooring "pitched", but as it is x-mas I'll be nice and not publish this piece of art to the public. :P
Sälen, beers and yes, nudity!
Fastforwarding a bit, we are now at the Sälen-part of this blog post. Skiing time!
First day wasn't really for skiing really. Mostly getting the cabin, having a few beers and going bowling! We had my brother making a "gambei!" which means bottoms-up!
Blabla! On with the skiing already!
The skiing was awesome, as you might understand. It was quite cold though, around 15-20 degrees minus - not the best climate to go skiing, but hey, I'm a viking!
MY BRO' FELL! HAHAHAHAH! This was one of the most awesome things during the whole trip. Imagine some kind of british humor sketch with someone falling and desperately failing to get up, and then when finally managing to get up, falling face-first into the snow once again! Both me and Phil felt tears coming down our eyes. We were laughing so hard we couldn't even get the camera up in time. Sorry for that!
After each evening we finished the evening off with Glögg, alcohol and Sauna (not completely naked, but almost). We actually even ran out in the snow with nothing more than a towel around our hip. AWESOME!
Here is some pictures from the trip. I hope you get envious! :P
I went on rampage, shooting things!
Once we were done with all the skiing stuff, we had to do what we elves do best (yes, Phil is convinced that we scandinavias are elves), shoot with bow and arrow. Watch and learn my friends! (and yes, I did bullseye and then I split my own arrow, of course).
That's it for now! Cya 3rd of January, when I'm moving into my new place in Kings Warf! :)
