This is the begining of our trip .. Anders and Monica picked
us up 09:00 in the morning and be headed south,
|
 |
This is the site of Anders first memory as a
child ... he says he must have been 3 or 4 and remembers
riding a tricycle here. His parents worked for a large
farm close by ... and they lived here. |
|
 |
Anders had booked lunch at a cute little
spot in the country here. |
|
 |
We were early for lunch so learned a bit
about local history while we waited. |
 |
Had to stop by at the home of a famous
Swedish singer .. Per Gessle |
|
 |
This was the lobby of the hotel that we
stayed in for two nights ... A lovely spot in the heart of
Halmstad |
 |
The area is known for its beaches ..
A lovely eating place in Tylösand looked out over this beach
.... |
 |
This is Halmstads main city square ..
decorations by a very famous Swedish skulpture artist
'Carl Mille' |
 |
This was significant in our journey because
it was the place that Anders had his first job. |
 |
A 2000 year old grave field close to the
home where Anders grew up |
 |
Not a good picture --- but Anders was quite
involved in sports ... and this was the home soccer field
when he was young. |
 |
Had a very nice stop and visit here with
Anders father ... and this is the home that Anders spent
most of his growing up years in. |
 |
Hovs hallar .... a very rocky stretch of
beach --- apparently some of Ingemar Bergmans films were
record amongst the cliffs and rocks here. We enjoyed a
nice walk ... and then ate lunch in a beautiful restaurant
looking out over it. |
 |
Enjoyed a lovely visit in Mellby Strand here
with Anders sister ... they have such a lovely home. |
