Back from Sweden

Jul 10, 2006 15:29

So now I'm back from my hollyday in Sweden - just what I needed! But I could use a week more. But I need to work to get some money. It was really relaxing and I didn't feel stressed for a week - something I havn't tried for a loonnggg time! But already today I feel the stress coming back. I know that there are a lot to do at natmus, and that I need to have some stuff done by friday! And I'm not sure that I can make it! I'm not stressed about the excavation, only about Natmus. The worst part is that I can't make many photo-orders the next two weeks, since the photographers are on vecation... I just knoe that people will get angry at me... But as Thomas says - It is not my problem, I'm allowed to have a vacation. I just can't relax, and that is bad, cause that is what makes stress!!!
But back to the trip to Sweden. We lived in a hotel at Västerås for 5 days. We went to see Swedens largest mound - Anugshög. Very beautiful. Around it there were serval small mounds and some stonesettings. Very odd place actually! And very interesting! In Sweden they are better to give info than in Denmark! This small place was filled with infosigns and so on. I bought two archaeological books about "The Tuna-graves" a few km from Anugshög. They claim that it is a danish lady that is berried there.. Could maybe turn out to be anothe project...
We were in Stockholm for a day. But we didn't go and se any museums - Wich I think is to bad! I would have liked to see there middelage museum and historical museum. But I wasn't the only one on the vacation so...
But we went to Birka/Björkö. I've been there once before.And I think it is a wonderful place, but I was rather disapointed. Not with the island itself or the museum, but we only had 3 hours before the ship left again. We made it to an guided trip (aprox 50 min), saw the museum, had an icecream and home again.. I didn't see an excavation and I know that there was one going on somewhere. But 3 hours wasn't enough!!!!
The trip to Birka was beautifull throug Skærgården! I took 2,5 hour!!
We also saw some silvermines, my father, my brother, Thomas and I went on a trip down the mines - it was really cold down there!!! But funny to see!
We been very lucky with the weather - sun all the time, except for satuday where we went camping of course!!
Some bad things happend! Thomas and I got a parking ticket! How stupid is that!!!?? And someone broke into my parents car!!!!Stupid people! It was funny things they left with: the car radio of course, my fathers cellphone - wich doesn't work out side DK and is very old. A kikkert (don't know the english word), a little makeup wallet with bandage and first-aid stuff, a bottle of wine, the, karklude og et viskerstykke (again the words in english...)Weird stuff to take! My mothe found a dolls dress in the back of the car!!! And belive me that dress is not ours!! Did they bring a child?? I don't understand people who does stuff like that!!! It is so descusting to know that other people have been in our car!!!!
Bvaddr!
But all in all it had been a really nice vecation!
Know I have to look at the money situation. I need to let the girl from BM know that I really want to buy the corset! and I need to get the money for it.. I'm not sure that I have them right now...
