What a great place that hotel/restaurant is. Who is the babe on the stairs ?

 I am shocked they actually have Ikea in Sweden, thought those were only over here.   :P
Yes it is great nowadays. And the food and the vine was among the best i have tasted my whole life.
Wife did not manage to eat the whole steake so she took it in a doggiebag and fed the dogs when
we got home. one of the dogs was so exited that she bit wifes fingers wolfing the steak down

when i was young it was a bit rundown and we used to start
the evening in the hotel bar, I gues i have paid part of the renovation ;D

The babe on the stairs is my wife :)

Someone told me this Ikea is a evil organisation, trying to infiltrate the whole world to rob good mens car money
with the help of there wifes >:( ;D

You absolutely live in the nicest part of the world Heo. As a wee lad, my neighbor had a blown 289 Studebaker golden hawk. Every time he left home he got 4 gear rubber, so whenever I was making my motor noises, I always chirped all 4 gears. Drove my parents nuts.

Thank you Shady, i gues you get kind of blind for the beauty other see when you se it every day
but there is many beautyful places here

Good for you that had a neighbour with a Golden hawk, 8) one of my favorit cars from the 50st
I just had a neighbour with a 2stroke SAAB, that scrambled the TV signal when he drove by.
And he came home from work alway during the childrens show on TV i hated that car
His father though had a -64 Malibu, Gold with red interior as a Taxi. but just a 6cyl fourdoor
He drove us to school a couple of days a week four kids in front and two kids in the backseat
Always sucking on breathmints probably was drunk or hangover ??? ???
Flodström that drove the schoolbus defenitly was drunk.   always sucking on coughdrops smoking his pipe in the bus
One time he was so drunk that he took a wrong turn and got lost in the village :o. A kid asked where he was going,
then he got mad and trew all us kids out of the bus ;D ;D ;D ;D. We saw him riding up and down the streets with the bus
The pricipal came and picked us up in his mustard yellow Morris Marina with diareea brown interior ;D ;D ;D ;D

... mustard yellow Morris Marina with diareea brown interior ;D ;D ;D ;D

That is the proper color combo for a Morris Marina!  I had a girlfriend in high school who actually had one (Austin Marina here in the U.S.).  Good thing she was cute, because that car was bad.

Great stories Heo!  It's good to be a kid at heart.  Yes, you live in a really beautiful part of the world.  It's on my bucket list to get over there sometime.

My wife and I were in Big Sky, Montana this weekend for a wedding.  That too is a really beautiful place.  (Thread hijack - sorry!!)





I have to spoil the scenery with a picture of two random people...



I will make up for it with a shot of a really cool 1930's passenger bus at our hotel.  It's beautifully restored!

Yes it was like the walk of shame riding in that"car" :-[ :-[
Beautyful, dont worry about the highjack.
That look a lot like nortwest from me when you get higher
up the mountains.
We was at a friends 60th birthday about a month ago
he live halfway between me and the higher elevations
so you got some slow rolling mountains with rivers between

This is the wiew from his kitchenwindow early in the morning
When the fog is rising from the Ume river


That is a handsome couple :) But no hat on the lady Bill, what is this? ;D ;D

I guess the bus is a White or International

If you end up in Sweden you are welcome at my place

Oh man that is a beautiful picture Heo!  As for the hat, the ladies in Montana only wear cowboy hats.  Unless there is horse manure on their boots, it's just not honest  ::) ::)

Yes you are correct - The bus was made by White.  Here's a front view:





Oh - And before you invite me to your house, you'd better ask Jay what it's like to have me as a guest!
