First time with our son on Skåneleden

The family still being cheerful after a rainy day on Skåneleden and Hallandsleden.

WC and Mommy starting out in the dense forest around Stavershult.

Where the two trails (Skåneleden and Halandsleden) meet, we found shelter in a little lean-to where we enjoyed hot cocoa and sandwiches

Tara has put her raincover on the Osprey backpack. A small country road made it easy to descend from the gigantic esker ridge Hallandsåsen, formed during the ice age.

This summer we decided to take our son (2 years old) hiking on Skåneleden. We started in Stavershult and went west to Koarp, then headed north on Hallandsleden. We hiked for about 10 km. Some videos from the event below:

Gothenburg and Liseberg - lots of fun!

During the summer we left the summer cottage in Skummeslöv and headed up the west coast to Daddy's hometown of Gothenburg to visit the amusement park Liseberg.

Who has the most fun here? Mommy or WC?

Tara ordered gulasch and knödl and Kim is about to start chewing on half a boar leg and some Weissbier at a cute beerhall caled Müllerbeisl, away from the tourist district (= no server understood English).

During the intermission of the concert at the Musikverein.

Tara going over a few books she has not yet read, at the Prunksaal, the National Archives in Vienna.

What do Trotsky, Lenin, Freud and Nietzsche have in common? They all had breakfast at Café Central in Vienna. Kim enjoyed the atmosphere with the Emperess Sisi on the painting in the background.
