The Hike to Dest We woke up at 07:00 and were at the breakfast table at 07:45. There was a nice spread of things available and lots of folks in the hotel were already nomming on their first meal of the day. We had some scrambled eggs with toast, smoked salmon, juice, coffee, and bread rolls. That was all fine.

Part 1: Freud explains Pim’s WEiRD dream Paul slept not too great this last night, the bed was too small in all dimensions he said (too short, too thin and not very wide).

It all started just fine in our hotel, we woke up and did our usual grooming, put on clothes, got some great breakfast at the hotel, and then made our way downstairs to -3 to put the things in the car and start our day.Read more...
Waking Up This morning we got up not too early, I think it must’ve been 07:20 that my watch gently poked me, and 08:00 when my iPhone less than subtly made a god damn racket, serves me right for not getting up the first time. Our hotel in Gävle was full of bikers (the motor cycle type), and they were bustling around in the hotel dining area, where we found some pretty good breakfast.Read more...
