Honeymoon
Now, let us tell you of our honeymoon...
As most of you now, we did not book anything since it was our weddinggift from most of the visitors to our wedding. We had decided earlier to book a last minute vacation from all the contributions we got. The wedding was on Friday, we still had a little get together with Midsummer celebration on Saturday, and on Sunday evening we went back to Malmö.
On Monday, we started early to check out all the travel agents in the real world and on the net. After some time, Karin had found a couple of great alternatives and we finally decided to go to Greece. The town we had never heard of was Parga and it was on the coast of the main land in northwestern Greece. It was a small apartment with kitchen and fridge and... ...it was for two weeks! We really had to hurry, though, since we had to leave Malmö within an hour to catch a train to Kopenhagen for the plane, which left that night. Quickly, we threw some clothes and stuff in our bags and were on our way to Greece...
We arrived in the middle of the night at a small airport in Preveza, south of Parga. We were hungry and Karin amazingly fixed us som crisps with beer... yummy! Later that night, we arrived at our hotel and, tired as we were, fell asleep fast.
The following days, we went to explore the the town and the surroundings. We enjoyed good food, good drinks, swimming in the ocean and swimming in the pools. And we had our first day-trip. This one was sort of island hopping, which started at Lefkada and took us to Fiskardo, Ithaca, Meganisi, Skorpios island and more... So many islands on one day, but that's Greece for you.
To be continued...

April update…
It’s been a while since Easter. The snow finally melted away and we see the sun a bit more often… Time for another update of our blog.
What has happened since Easter except for the snow and the sun? Well, we got a bit more organized, both for the wedding and in our flat. We planned a bit more for the food for the wedding (with help of Kikki, a friend of Ingegerd’s). Another important detail is Karin’s wedding dress, which is now all sewed up and fitting (it just looks awesome – come to the wedding and see). We ordered a hired frock coat for Joseph as well as the back up music. We still need to book some more music, though. We are as well getting a bit worried about how to fit everybody into the “Virgin chamber”, where the wedding will be held (70+ people are a lot!). Hopefully, we will figure something out. We also got a lot of people to confirm their hotel bookings.
For those of you who come to the wedding, don’t forget that we don’t really want any big presents. Instead, we will have a box where you may drop of a letter with a financial contribution to our honeymoon and your wishes. Don’t worry, if you are on a low budget, just some plain compliments will do too (it’s not about the money, we’re happy that you’re here!). Another thing to remember for the wedding is the date (of course)… In Sweden, it is a special date where we celebrate Midsummer. Midsummer is a very Swedish holiday where we dance around the Midsummer pole and sing songs. However, some youths use this day to get incredibly drunk and party all day (and night) long. The biggest hotspot for this happens to be Borgholm on Öland, where we have our wedding. So be warned, but don’t be too chocked when you see this, it’s not always like this in Sweden! At Äleklinta Gård and Djupvik Camping, where most of our guests are staying, it should be pretty quiet, though. As well, it looks like we might have a bus picking people up for the wedding from these places, so if you want to drink and don’t want to drive, this will be the option for you…
Well, we all got heaps to do, studying and working, but if you drop by Malmö, make sure to visit us! Hope you are all well!
Take care,
Joe
