Roadtrippin'...and farewell to a friend :(
First things first.
Silja, you rock babe. I had the most fun ever with you, and I hope that you'll take care of yourself and that we meet up again someday. I'll never forget how much fun we had here in Linkoping, and you have to come and visit me in Australia. Kram och puss!
So we said farewell to a vital member of the B-team on sunday...Silja (duh). We had an awesome time making her a farewell video, which you can view at http://prof3ta.homeunix.org/index.php?topic=videos. Then, on the last night in HG, we had a farewell party for her, which was the most fun night ever! Then of course, the last kravall (Sommer X), a non-overalls party to which the B-Team wore overalls to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the plebs. Worked rather well too. Then after a lovely afterparty in the playground, we all went to bed and woke up the next morning for our roadtrip!
First stop was Goteborg, a really nice town on the west coast of Sweden. This is the second largest town in Sweden, and although it is pretty, our going out experience there was not the greatest. Our hostel was really nice ('Dalagarde'), and we had a great time picnicking in the sun, and going on a very strange boat tour through the canal system (i've never been on a boat tour where everybody had to sit on the floor in order to get under a bridge).
After Goteborg we headed north to some place i can't remember the name of *lol*. We found a camping ground beside one of Sweden's 96,000 lakes (i'm not exaggerating), created a bonfire, doused ourselves with insect repellant (the mosquito swarms were UNBELIEVABLE...and even more unbelievable that i didn't get bitten once!), and sat around the fire drinking beer and chatting...lovely. Poor Jonathan got bitten around 70 times by some mystery insect during the night, and was the only one to have problems with the insects! Poor guy.
Monday we packed up and headed north again, in search of another camping ground. Had an almost disaster when it didn't look like we were going to have a place to sleep, but then a campsite came through for us, and even had mini golf! Of course, we had to attempt a drunken round in the middle of the night (I didn't even come last... okay, second to last, but at least I didn't lose!! Thanks Lex ;) ). After watching a couple of idiotic friends (namely Koen and Gugu) go midnight swimming in yet another lake, we all went to bed, then woke up and came back to Linkoping.
I could explain more, but camping is camping. We saw some things, ate some things, drank some things, and drove. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Knock em' dead.
