Hydra

We spent Greek Easter on the beautiful island Hydra. Just one and a half hour from Athens one finds a total gem. The island has no cars, just gorgeous houses, bright colored flowers and mountains raising above. On every corner you find small shops, art galleries, tavernas and coffee shops. The little town is tiny and after just a day you feel right at home. We stayed right in the harbour with a perfect view

Sushi

I had sushi three times in Sweden . They have such good and super cheap sushi there. Athens doesn't , either it's not very good or it's very $$ (think Nobu). Sushi is very popular and even in suburbs u find small sushi bars. I love the look of sushi on a plate. So colourful!

Sweden

Jag och min Lilla tjej åkte hem till Svergie på besök. Stockholm var fint och soligt. Men kallt! Våren är verkigen sen i år. Hur som helst var det ljust och solen sken från kl 04 på morgonen . Det blev härliga utflykter, shopping (massor av barnkläder of course) , god mat och mys med familjen och vännerna.

Me and little M went to Sweden to see family and friends. It was sunny but cold. Spring is very late this year. The days are long and light which meant M thought that the day started 5 am... I did lots of shopping , mostly for the baby of course. Lovely to see family and close old friends.

Sunset beach

Vi tog en promenad längs Kavouri straden. Vilken fin solnedgång det var! Doppade fötterna i havet också. Det var inte alls kallt. Tror det blir premiär för ett dopp snart.

We took a stroll on the beach and enjoyed this beautiful sunset. Dipped my feet in the water which was surprisingly warm. I think I will go for a swim very soon. May had been super hot with over 30 degrees !

Greek Orthodox baptism

On a sunny Sunday a couple of weeks ago me and my husband baptized our daughter. The Greek Orthodox baptism is a bit different then a Protestant or Catholic one. First of all the baby should be completely naked baby - symbolizing birth, then dipped in water three times, and having a bit of hair cut off. The ceremony finishes with the baby being smeared with olive oil -  a tradition from the ancient Greeks. Our little sunshine was happy for the most part of the ceremony. Afterwards we have a nice lunch with family and friends. The church is located in the beautiful seaside suburb Vouliagmeni and opened just two years ago. The architecture is very special and modern. I think it is one of the most beautiful churches in Greece, very light and bright . Well worth a visit!
