Thursday Thirteen - July 12 - 2007
For facts about the Channel, see RennyBA’s post about the Götakanal.
Well, that is the shortest possible background of TORdays sightseeing. You are invited to follow with 13 small pictures.
1) I wake up before our host - who happened to be laying over Anna
2) What - this is a Farmland - of those Swedes. Have they wheels on their boats?
3) Of course - this is a Farm - The boats must have been pure fantasy
4) Yes, it's true, It's a farm. You can even see the Swedish farmers with their hens
5) The Swedish farmers are very clever to keep used equipment in good shape
6) But the Farmerboy is well equipped with a modern Nokia Mobile. As you can see, he is a happy youngster. What is he waiting for?
7) Boats approaching a bridge - mostly from Sweden but also many Germans, some Danes and a very few Norwegian
8) Bellevue - what a ship for a Honymoon Cruise. Gliding through the farmland. Time for lovers. Guess who took that cruise for HM? Our gentle hosts, of course.
Renny and Diane went on Honeymoon cruise with this charming boat at the channel. Quality time together, which Renny so often refers to.
9) This is the old packhouse by the channel - were goods were stored for export and local import.
10) Inside the Packhouse is a great collection of rural home equipments. Here you see the famous Spinning Renny.
11) After boats, farmers, museums - we found a local Paradise. In fact run by a couple of Norwegian ladies.
12) Who is sitting there? Looks very familiar
13) Yes - it's us. At the end of the day - the sightseeing part - 3xCoffee and 1 mineral water. Was that all? Oh no - we had apple pie with hot vanilla sauce. What a grand finale.
Have a journey with other Thursday 13ers

I take it ya'll are great friends. Mahalo for sharing the photos! I've spent time in Sweden before, but never Norway. I didn't know the channel existed. Yes, GREAT minds think alike. :-)
Looks like a very nice get together ! I wished I could be there too, I have never been up north !
Oh lovely pics. Hope your holiday together is so fine.
What a lovely place you went to. I enjoyed the illusion of boats in the field!
Happy Tor's Day, Tor!
Now, I understand better why yesterday Renny said:"Tor sitting beside me." I tought you were always in Mariestad!"
It's a very interesting post about Göta kanal and farms. So I will come back to read all. Now I'm waiting for the plumber!
If you have a time have a look on my post with Mar and I' m curious to know I you can reconize the pic i show. Next posts will talk about it!
Terrific Pictures. Makes you want to go there.
Happy TT!
Renny is the bomb and any friend of his is a friend of mine,,,better still; FAMILY!
What a great place Tor...has a great ambiance. Looks like you all had great fun. You took great pictures.
I really like the picture of the boats approaching the bridge. It is such a unique color. And the picture with the boats that look like they're in the middle of the field. hehe :) Happy vacationing!!!
Everything looks so little and quaint. I love it all. You guys better be careful of those bunk beds!! LOL!
The fun you're having guys, unbelievable!
I want to see Norway too...I wonder how it would be draggin 5 kids and a husband?
I love the photos! The farm is beautiful. What a vivid red on many of the buildings! It's fantastic. Is that the wood or have they been stained or painted that color?
It certainly looks like the fun continues. :)
You and Renny are two Muskateers! I love how you are able to share you lives (but not your wives!) together. :)
Wonderful reports Tor!
I hope you mean that you ate vanilla sauce with apple pie and not the opposite. The apple pie shall SWIM, no be DROWN totally in vanilla sauce - in a deep plate preferably.
