Sweden and the Netherlands

A lot of things has happened the past few weeks. First Toine's parents came over and we went on some fun things. Skansen, a day cruise to Åland and back with Silja Line, went shopping on Stinsen shopping center. Also a trip to Skokloster slott and last but not least, a traditional Kräftfest (crayfish party).

They bought some new fishes for my aquarium as well. Two blue Gurami which I named Eelco and Lesley, after Toines little brother and his girlfriend. And two dwarf Gurami which will be back ups... hehe.

Friday the 30th we went to the Netherlands to visit the rest of the family. I brought with me some gifts from Norway to Eelco and Lesley. Two knives from the arctic circle center, and for Lesley a handmade bracelet from the Sápmi folk (click link to read). The native people of northern Scandinavia. I hope they liked it.

While in the Netherlands we went to see many fun things. A nice park, the Dolphinarium and Burger's Zoo. We also went to my favorite wok restaurant. We decided that next year Toine and I will go by car so we can buy more things and bring it home. We also got a very nice gift from Eelco and Lesley. Some very cool aquarium decorations! Very cool.

We got home last friday and it has been a busy weekend too.
