Bike of good hope

Sweaty day which made us get not more tha n two final calls...Christian Johänsen and Frederik Sweatbrand please go to gate F66! Final call! We were rusching like crazy. In the last 60 seconds before entering the gate Fredrik sent the old money he found a week ago to Riksbanken for the funding. We are now on the plane and feel sweaty like we could have been traveling for a week. Of course we are exhausted from the last weeks of long todolists. Now rest and tomorrow lunch we pl

Me being a stressed and late landlord, I delivered the place. My guest did not want the sofa but she wanted the ikea-sofa pillows or the pillows, without the cover. So I agreed on taking of the covers and store them too. Then

The other day, I (Christian) payed a visit to an old friend who have been to eastern and southern Africa twice. The lovely Malin Sjöblom told some inspiring stories about her two trips and gave some usable advice for our upcoming trip. The picture in the background between us, is from Lake Bunyoni, Uganda. Malin knows a local ugandian man helping a pygmée tribe with education and land to live on. Below is the original picture. Malin also told me about her adventures with th
