Kailing's visit, together to BBQ and nearby towns

2 days before i went for the east europe expedition, Kailing ( from crescent) and Cheryl ( From NJ) came from london to visit me in my town. And, me together with my roomie and my 2 hong kong friends prepared a BBQ and a visit to a nearby town called Granna. Then, from Granna, we took a ferry to the island in the middle of a lake, Visingor.

The weather of the days that they were here were not very good, it kept drizzling and was cold.. so.. the BBQ was cold and didn't last very long too. "A pity!" We brought about a quarter of the food back to our homes to cook for dinner..

The next day, we went to Granna. it is about a 45 mins bus ride from my town. Granna is the town that first produces this particular sweet that is now available all around the world. In swedish, the name of the sweet is called Polkagris. It is the red-and-white striped candy. A famous version of it is the candy cane. (ring any bell?)

Then, we proceeded to the island in the middle the biggest lake in Sweden, Lake Vattern. This island is called Visingor and has many trails left behind by the Vikings. ( you know, pirates-like men.. haha..) Yup, it was very quiet there, probably cos it is not summer yet.. so, we only stayed there for a short while.

Yup, anyway, posted the photos as well. You can see the ruined castle at Visingor and the famous sweet that i am talking about.
