This morning we were visited in the motorhome by Lisa from Metropol 93,8 on Swedish Radio. Metropol Morgon was about travel today, and especially about travelling a little "differently".

Read moreOn Midsummer's Eve we grilled a whole pig. It was a project that took most of the day, but it was an interesting and fun project! First a fireplace was built, and then the pig was mounted on a stand.
Read moreDo you have a generator, and if so, do you use it? We got a Honda generator when we bought our motorhome on Blocket in 2008. I would actually say that we use it very rarely.

Last night we were invited on board for a tour of the ship, as well as for dinner and entertainment.

The interesting thing about demolition is that it reveals some of the history of the boat: how it was built and how it may have looked in the past. Many different types of wood and colours emerge. And sometimes you get a bit of a shock.
