Our fourth full day in Athens is coming to an end. Today we really have been taking it easy and we really needed it. Maybe because there was thunder in the air? Still, we managed to walk over 10,000 steps and experienced a great deal of Greek hospitality. People seem […]
One of the highlights of staying abroad for a longer period of time is the fact that you get the chance to discover the place in a completely different way. For instance, we probably wouldn’t have gone to Piraeus, had we only come here for a few days. The morning […]
Syntagma Square lies in the heart of Athens and it is a historical, political, and social center of the Greek capital. Today’s mission was to go to the Syntagma Square, visit the National Garden, and perhaps grab an ice cream on the go. Starting Slowly Little A must think that […]
I have been to the Greek capital twice before but it is quite some time ago now. We arrived in Athens late last night and this morning our plan was to sleep late. However, Little A did not agree with us. At 8 a.m. local time she decided to wake […]
Well hello there! I can’t believe it’s already the end of April. One month from now we will be enjoying some sunshine and great food in Greece. This spring has been so hectic; after visiting Lahti in Finland, I also made a short trip to London. England was more business […]

Hello from snowy Åland! Even though spring is on its way, it’s time to return to 2017 for a summary of the books I read in 2017. I have listed them all here on the blog, except the one I finished in December: The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster, My goal […]
Hello friends! The snow is slowly melting outside, the birds are twittering about their return, and it’s time to start planning the spring. As always, we have quite a few exciting things going on. Travel is a big part of it all and today we’d like to share our travel plans for […]
Wanderlust, you’ve been absent for a while. A few days ago you started to make your voice heard again. And I welcome you, Wanderlust, I really do. This blog title reminds me a bit about Simon and Garfunkel and the Song of Silence. It’s playing in my head now. I’m […]
Det är några dagar kvar innan det är dags att bocka och buga och önska er alla ett gott nytt år. Vad passar då bättre än denna nyårslista från sevendays? Mitt 2017 har varit… Helt fantastiskt! Barn, resor och massor av mys, gos och bra böcker. Ett gott år med […]
