Parents-in-law..

My parents-in-law moved back to their own country.. After some years in China they headed back to Sweden

They found a house in Halmstad, close to the water.....

close to the place were these pictures were made ..... ;-) ;-)

Sweden, way waaaay better to travel to than China

All wheel drive camper

Ok, the decision is made.. this is the campervan to have! The Volvo C303 (Laplander)
I'm following these cars allready for years. But lately more frequent... so is it a sign?
This is simply the best offroad/wildcamp, go on a surftrip car you can have... steep/rocky/desert coasts etc.. this car will bring you there.

6x6

4x4

Here a small movie of it's capabilities....
Now it's time to have some fine food!

Holland in the cold..

Unfortunately a fire in the sky doesn't bring any warmth

Out in the frozen fields

Ducks on ice





Searching for prey...

found some, but they were to fast;-)

The snow came down

No more surfing this year?...

It's allready a week nonstop freezing. And today's forecast for the comming week is pure horror..
-10 average and combined with the wind it can feel as -20 degrees/or more....

Nothing wrong with a true winter. Way better than nonstop rain, but the surfboards can go to the attic..


Paul and Cornelia from Munich came by, so what better than eating ultimate winter food (boerenkool) and watching the ski worldcup

Right now it's snowing and on the radio I hear the news that we beat a recored..
total trafficjam over 900 km!!!

missing..

I miss sitting in the sea, and having these views...

Pomegranate

Hmmmm, what a strange apple..


Chicken with pomegranate and roasted almonds.. superb!

Campingcar/motorhome....

How nice is this one!

Dioni's new boards

Dioni played with the markers agian .. ;-) Like it a lot! way better than the computermade/designed stickers on factoryboards nowadays.

First major big wave event in Europe???

Big wave surfer Garret McNamara is in Portugal to explore the possibilities of hosting a major big wave event in the small town of Nazaré. And it looks like he's convinced ;-) Here's a link to a short video from the Portuguese news and a link to some impressive photos.

The event should take place in 2012 and would be the first major big wave event in Europe.
