Hello, well we have now left Kamlar and yesterday travelled to Vimmerby where we attended the district conference, gave a presentation, met up with our friend Charlotte who was on the D2410 GSE team who recently came to Australia. We had a tour of the town of Vimmerby which is the home of Astrid Lingren, the author of Pippi Longstocking.
We then drove on to Oskarshamn where we met with our new host families, we are all at different homes now.
I was picked up by Jerker, he is married and lives in a very nice home right on the water, it is a beautiful spot and today the weather is about 20 degrees, the picutres I have attached (boat and rocks) is looking straight out the door of the house.
Jerker (Jac) is a hunter so I have been treated to some smoked deer he has shot and may have some Moose tonight!! I have also tried pickled herring which was very nice.
We just went for a drive in his sports car to a nice river (pictured) where many men where fishing for salmon, some of which get to 25kgs, it was beautiful country and I saw many deer in the forest.
Jerker has a yacht and sails a lot to nearby islands, I have been told to take a jacket for an activity later today that is being kept secret so I have a feeling we may be going sailing. Will keep you posted!!
Love Christie.
