Mag here, Vikx is having an relax and letting me take control of today's post :)
So yesterday started much like the past couple of days we updated the blog and got ready for the day ahead. We both woke early and decide to get up and do stuff , we had breakfast. I had the Swedish staple of Muesli and milk with pouring yogurt that we got the other day, we chose banana and vanilla falvour which we should probably do a food blog about Swedish pouring yogurts, then we both had bacon sandwiches Scandinavian bacon is not much like bacon in the UK the closest thing is Oscar Myers bacon to my mind which is a streaky bacon they don't do back Bacon, we then got packed and went out for the day.
On the way to our destination for the day we needed to get fuel the first time since we left the UK.
We had done 520 miles when we filled up and we had another 50 or 60 miles to go. Petrol out here is mostly from self service that are automated which I have to admit is intimidating when you don't speak the language.
I had to make a phone call to my Parents to guide me though the process but I managed it and we left the station having topped up with fuel and made our way along the back roads to Borås taking us through some very pretty country side. We arrived in Borås about 12:00 o'clock and parked near the Textile Museum which I would have loved to take Vikx round it but it is closed for Refurb at the moment.
We wandered around the center of Borås exploring what is to see we had limited parking time. After a little while we found a nice quiet spot next to river which had a couple of benches and a cool sculpture set in to the water which vikx took some pics off see below .
Funny fact about Borås is that it is know as one of the most boring towns in Sweden. Yay.
Once we finished our walk and returned to the car we headed out to Kannleland which is a shopping complex on the out skirts of Boras. We had a wander round and explored the shops, we didn't spend much and wandered around mostly.
We left Boras via the maxi ICA where we picked up some fresh bread and bits and piece we need but then we had the best surprise when wandering the fruit and veg section we found a Starfruit which vikx has been pining for ages. We have not been able find these in the UK.
We have a Food Blog in The works describing the the awesomeness of the wraps we had for lunch.
Just been reminded that i got a bit lost while exiting Boras we ended up near the horse training school! We got turned round and then found our way to the supermarket. we then had and uneventful trip home.
When we got home we had a relax, watched some Family Guy and simpsons on TV and had a sauna one of the benefits of being in Sweden :) After the sauna we had dinner and then chilled out some more. We watched naked and afriad, first time we have managed to watch this as we do not have sky at home. Was rather amusing.
Moose (Elk) Watch - Zero although we came close when we saw a plastic one in a toy shop. (does that count?!)
lots of other wild life seen though
See you Tomorrow
