We took a really cheap flight (about 20 Euros per person with Tuifly.com) from Hanover and were picked up by Helen (my mother) at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm. We spent a couple of days in Koping, my hometown, and did just one trip. The trip was just 45 minutes by car, to Orebro to visit Pelle, Stefan and Stefans girlfriend Carola. Cristoffer also came by the restaurant (O'Leary's) to say hi. We had a great time as allways even though it was a quick visit.

In Koping we had lunch with my grandmother Marie (eating out about everyday). We watched photos and spent as much time as possible with our family. Of course we also had to prepare for the next leg of the BIG TRIP.

On Monday the 3rd of September we went to Stockholm, spent the night at David and Karins place again and ate at David and Johannas. Wow, incredible how Matilda has grown!!!! Then on tuesday the 4th we took a ferry to Riga, in Latvia. It was pretty small (for a Cruise ship) but it was nice and there were hardly any people on it anyway. We had a nice dinner buffet, listned to the Bulgarian band, saw the obligatory tacky dance show and went to bed. We slept like babies and woke up just in time to make the breakfast buffet. Yummy. An hour later we landed in Riga.
