Halmstad

What a weekend... I travelled down to Halmstad on thursday just afte lunch and the train journey was a killer indeed... I managed to sleep in my seat for a bit but felt pretty rough when arriving in Gothenburg. I had a couple of hours there before my train to Halmstad departed. So strolled around there and enjoyed people and the warmth and the feel of a big city again. Finally got to Halmstad around 17.00 and Tina met me at the trainstation and she looked as good as ever. I caught up with her friend Ewa while Tina went to see her granma, as it was her birthday. Then we headed out to town and ended up in a rather empty club as the summer is over in Halmstad and most tourists have gone. Saturday lunch time we managed to get everyone organised to head to the beach and there we lapped up some sun enjoying a few beers and stayed around there to see the last after beach at tylöhus (the hotel near the beach which I actually once worked at in my young days). We set up barbeque and more drinks on the beach, followed by a swim in the sea of course and watching an amazing sunset. It was so nice and warm and the day could not have been better for the birthday girl Tina (and also Lotta in Indonesien). After the barbie we headed into town and for more party and funnily enough ended up in the same night club we went to the previous night, this place is rather classic is all I got to say about that... As Lotta was not with us in person we had a photo of her with us (apparently this photo has also been at Roskilde so Lotta would not be missed there) and this photo (in a frame) got showered with several different drink types to make sure Lotta was also enjoying the big party with us. On sunday lunch time it was Tina's actual birthday which we celebrated in the park nearby where she lives with champagne and present opening and again a wonderful day with sunshine, Tina (turning 30) did not look a day older than 25 as the photos can show. On monday it was time for me to head back to Abisko however I managed to squeeze in a couple of more hours on the beach before the long train journey home.
I won't bore you with the train journey, however I did change my seat for a place in a cabin with a bed as it was impossible to sleep in the compartment sitting up as the train was full and on top of that a drunk man was talking loudly ignoring anyone trying to get some rest...
Anyhow some photos from beautiful Halmstad, and I must say that I am proud to come from this place my hometown.
