BOB no 32 - Visit...
a) A safari park
c) A castle
g) The countyside
- check!
I must admit I forget about the things I do in my life that fit the BOB-list. Sometimes I consider not proceeding with that list, but then I think "what the heck" and just leave it.
At least now I have realized I can check some of the things to do on this list that I have done in my recent past.
starting with visiting...
a) A safari park
I took my family for the annual grand opening of Swedens greatest Safari park, Kolmården, on april the 30:th this year. The kids loved it, and us grown ups too. The funny thing about this day was that crowds of swedish celebrities was watching the animals together with us "regular swedes". So there was a lot to see both inside and outside the fences :).
a beautiful peacock was showing off for his ladies
g) the contryside
The company I work for was the main sponsor of the World Plowing Championships held in Sweden between the 13-14th of may this year.
The entire staff was on site to represent and also to watch the competitors from 29 contries compete for the title of The Worlds Greatest Plower. Quite an interesting form of competion I must add.
Sweden competing in coventional plow
About 25.000 people came to the great fields outside Skänninge in Sweden to watch this event, which was won by a scotchman in Reversible Plow, and a young guy from Switzerland in Conventional Plow. Sweden got 2nd place in Conventional Plow and 7nd in Reversible, so we were happy to be able to celebrate in the evening when we visited...
c) a castle
...Vadstena Castle for the banquet in honouring the competitors of this event!
A nice dinner was held in the amazing castle in the beautiful surroundings of picturesque city Vadstena.
Vadstena Castle was built between 1545-1620 and was originally built as a fortress by king Gustav Vasa. The four cannon towers had 58 cannons in 1560. King Johan III, son of Gustav Vasa, turned the fortress into a Renaissance palace. Members of the royal family lived here through the centuries. It is possible to visit a cannon tower, passages, the royal chapel and the great halls. The third floor is furnished the way it might have looked in the 17th Century. Portraits of King Gustav Vasa and his family are also displayed.

Yes, it is quite some activity in this blog right now. I feel a bit restless and a need to be creative. As I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on such things as painting material, photo development or interior design, I think this is a perfect...
