Thanks SAS!

I just love when the nice people at the gate take you aside, apologize for any inconvenience and then ask if it is OK to have a seat in business class instead..... I wonder how many times the answer to that is actually "Oh No!" A perfect flight to Tokyo, dinner a movie and then sleeping until the captains voice woke me up, "please put you chairs in the upright position....". Amazing how good it can be when you are lucky.

Not so many gaijins on the flight so no waiting at immigration, my bag showed up early, custom was a bit curious, 4 days?, I got the "who is stupid enough to fly all this way for a 4 day visit"-look . But no real hassle, guess the Sony in SonyEricsson is a really good thing here.

The train ride from the airport is the real transition, at the start the surrounding rice paddies match the sleepy me, it does not take that long before the calm country side surroundings is replaced with buildings, bigger buildings and more buildings as far as you can see. Once again engulfed by the sprawling metropolis

Cut n Eat!

Mattanterna is back! Theme for the evening was 'Raw' a night where cutting replaced cooking. Basashi rules sweden as well

Back home after a WET day

Brilliant but WET day today. Started with late breakfast! You sleep great in a tent :)
Then off to Trollstigen
A beautiful road scaling the mountain, marvelous! And at same time a tourist trap. After that we decided to walk up the towards the clouds, first hour was fine then the rain came back w full force :) WET WET WET

Atlantevejen

We had heavy rain all night and since it did not ease up this morning, we had to some re-planning.
First I woke them up when the breakfast was ready, served in bed since the rain refused to let go.
Then instead of walking to the top of trollveggen we decided to take the car and look at atlantevejen (google that). A beautiful set bridges connecting some of the last islands. Amazing! The atlantic on one side fjords and magnificent mountains on the other. This place is really the perfect mix, mountains and ocean. Driving around is magic, outside pristine beauty, in the car the teenagers play heavy metal as loud as they are allowed :)
