An interesting part of Copenhagen

  Computer, Tab, and hearing aid charger. Adapters for the outlets and a cube to allow us to plug more things in. Last night it was all this plus the two camera battery chargers. We bring along three European and two England adapters so we are sure to have enough. Thank goodness Linda isn’t into using a hair dryer, but even if she was, every hotel we have stayed at so far has had a hair dryer in the room. They are great for finishing up drying those still slightly damp socks you washed last night. Bob and Linda, traveling in Europe like Europeans. Two ends of a bridge we saw during our morning guided tour of Copenhagen. The bridge was supposed to be finished in 2013. They think it will be finished in 2015. The reason – the engineering firm that designed it made a slight miscalculation. It seems that the ends would never meet. And you think you have problems. Someone else’s are always worse. Life is not only good, it is also picturesque along the many canals and waterways found in

  The breakfast room had beautiful trays to place your plates and utensils on. Wood is Sweden’s biggest product, there being trees everywhere in the central and northern parts of the country. Looking ahead at our group heading out for the nearby castle. Looking backward. It wasn’t sunny and it wasn’t raining so what is that woman doing with the raised umbrella. How should I know, I don’t understand her most of the time which is why I get myself into trouble so often. Poor Bob, As we walked along I noticed some ducks along the path. A few moments later I asked Linda if she saw them. She just smiled. After downloading her pictures I can see why she didn’t answer me. And out of the mists appeared the impregnable castle of the Swedes.   Explaining to Tanis there is a castle around here, it’s just that I don’t know where. Looks like I found the moat so the castle must be nearby. Linda doing what she is best known for. One mis-step and down the trap door she goes. Nothing

Goodbye Stockholm, Hello Kalmar

  This could be the last of the morning herring in the wonderful yellow sauce. An epicure Bob is not, but he does love herring for breakfast. Linda is probably wishing this is the last of the morning herring. We have agreed to disagree, Don’t ask why but got curious this morning to know what a Swedish bedframe looks like. It certainly isn’t you usual found in America, Chinese made piece of crap It has style and quality. It always amazes me in reading the travel forums at the number of women who think they need to bring an iron along with them to Europe. Thank goodness Linda isn’t a clothes horse, though if she was we would never have gotten together in the first place since her description of college student Bob when we first met was that I was a slob. You know, a gravy stain on my pants, so what, it’s only a small stain. Somewhat neater Bob. Our transportation for the next couple of weeks. Are those rally car driving lights on the front? View from the back of the bus. Linda
