Relaxing in Riga and Stockholm

The recovery process is almost complete.

Mother and Magnus took Craig, me and Caroline to Riga (Latvia) for a few days - was lovely to spend time with all, although had some minor conflicts of interest (Caroline wanting only to shop, Craig wanting action all the time - and certain others wanting to do nothing). Weather was best have had, and spent half a day on the beach outside Riga.

Have then had nice and relaxing time with family out in countryside north of Stockholm, having bbq's, coffee etcetera. Just spent weekend in Stockholm, staying at Charlotte's place. Even managed to catch up with some old friends, pics later...

Heading to Venice in only few hours! Getting bit nervous, tho have got everything sorted already, hours before departure. Have heard is really hard to navigate Venice, and that all addresses are more or less meaningless to all apart from locals. Also weather there been great all summer, but now of course forecasted to rain. Well. Cannot believe forecasts. Anyway am not going for weather but for food!

Will update soon, but after Venice going to Croatia for over a week.

THURSDAY

It rained for about 35 hours, missed Björk... These "rain clothes" remained soaked in tent until Sunday!

FRIDAY

Good day, the day after the rain... In front of main stage again.

SATURDAY

Craigs's birthday!! Happy Craig:




Brooke, Bianca, Alex, Craig...




Bianca, Dylan, Craig and Ben in the pink very cool glasses. Will add final name later...




Bit later on, still together - Evan, Brooke, Craig, Mikey, Bianca and Dylan.

SUNDAY

Sunday the sun came out - too little too late in terms of muddiness, but still very good for the soul.




Hair in worse shape than ever - Sunday in front of stage.




Main Stage.




Misery on way back to camp :)







Toilets on right, me in front of sinks...

From the beginning...Roskilde Camp!

Dressing Midsommarstång in leaves according to tradition, same day we arrived

Still home...

Happy to just read books and drink coffee with mother. Craig has gone off to Roskilde to play with other boys. He left yesterday (Sunday) even though festival does not even start until Thursday. Was faced with the following choice:

1. Stay at campsite for entire week knee-deep in mud as weather predicted to be typhoon-like downpour in winter temperatures, whilst drinking weak Danish beer, and having very limited access to food, toilets and showers, or…

2. Stay here where is nice and cosy, food is is readily available in kitchen – and always have hot running water.

Was tricky choice but in end decided on option number 2.

Probably will go on Wednesday. Heading north on the 16th, going to Riga with family – then going to Stockholm.
