Brothers in arms

The best toy is always the big brother, if it weren't for the big brother's toys... or both at the same time. Adam, now moving around, has given a new dimension for Hugo if he wants to keep his toys to himself.


Here "they" are watching Toy Story 2, Hugo's all time favourite. Adam is focusing more on getting to Hugo's new toys, brought home from Disneyland. Hugo is trying to both watch the movie and at the same time keeping toys out of reach from Adam. Not always successful.

It's been a while... Sorry

We have been very lazy when it comes to updating the website for the last couple of months. There will be pictures out from the trips to Sydney and Hong Kong shortly (yes, I know we said that before...) but here is a small contribution from the neighbourhood for the time being.

"Private land ... Trespassers will be prosecuted"

Isn't this an adorable little triangle. Why on earth they didn't put some plants on it we'll never understand. It must have cost more to fence it in. We will try our very best not to trespass...

In the Fragrant Harbour

We're in Hong Kong for a long weekend, and have so far spent a few days in the city. We've gone to Stanley for a shopping raid at the market, which resulted in several costumes to play dress-up with. We have also taken the peak tram up to Victoria Peak, although the view was slightly limited due to the weather.

Yesterday we went on the Star Ferry across to Kowloon, but the waiting line for high tea at The Peninsula was beyond ridiculous so we did not stay for a nibble there. We settled for a more regular 'fika' at the neighborhood Starbucks instead. At least there was no line there... Dinner was found in SoHo at an italian place we found last time we came to Hong Kong for vacation.

Today we'll finish off the stay here on Hong Kong island and regroup for the final part of the trip. We're going to Disneyland!

An update long overdue...

Well, apparently that was March... So what happened during that month? Well, among other things we managed to take a trip down under to Sydney. Gustaf was going there for work anyway, so we figured we might as well go all of us and have a bit of vacation while we're at it.

Unfortunately, pretty much everyone in the family came down with the flu right before or during the trip. Poor Adam was unable to eat for a bit and became noticeably thinner. Not thin, mind you, just thinner. Sometimes that Buddha-like belly comes in handy... but the trip was not a total loss, we managed to get some touristy things done such as Manly and Bondi beaches, Blue Mountains and finally wine tasting in Hunter Valley.

It's getting more and more apparent that we're actually moving back to Sweden soon. We've had a visit from the movers that estimated our stuff to be about 5 cubic meters more than our allowance. *doh* So right now we're working on downsizing our "stuff", mainly by selling off some of the furniture that we considered bringing back with us. There's no way we're paying extra money to ship IKEA furniture from Singapore to Sweden. Period.

Right now we have a visit from grandma Birgitta and grandpa Anders. Tomorrow we're off to Hong Kong for a few days, which will culminate in a visit to Disneyland. More details about that later on. Guaranteed.

And yes, we will post pictures from the trip to OZ soon...
