Would love to spend my life travelling. Full time. Seriously.
In a surprise move, the train back from Eskilstuna actually ran a little late. The turnaround between arriving home, and then heading to Ekerö left me with only a few minute to drop my bag off and have a shower. We were headed to the home of a Swedish-German couple I first met four year [...]

Or, like us, you could always drive, taking in the terrific Audley Weir. I'm home now, after a lovely day walking along the beach with a friend. As you'll [...]
