Småkompisar at a Surströmming party!








Have you ever tried Surströmming? We did!! Today is Surströmming premiere! Surströmming (soured Baltic herring) is a traditional northern Swedish dish consisting of fermented Baltic herring. It is sold in cans, when opened, the contents release a str...ong and sometimes overwhelming odor, which explains why the dish is often eaten outdoors. So, a rather smelly food adventure, but one that was certainly worthwhile!! Try some today! :-)

Baking bread the traditional way







Yesterday we were invited to make some traditional Swedish tunnbröd (thin bread) in a wood fire oven. It was exciting! There are so many fun things to do and we're always happy to try new things.

Swimming in the lake








Småkompisar had a splashing good time today! Småkompisar filled with plastic granules went swimming in the lake. The Small Friends filled with linseed, the landlubbers, are somehow allergic to water and had to stay on shore.

Småkompisar in Hemavan, Sweden









Småkompisar had a fantastic trip to Hemavan, Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve, Sweden. We decided to set off along the first section of the King’s Trail (Kungsleden) - Lapland’s “highway for hikers”! Twisting and climbing through the mountains and the SNOW and through some of the most breathtaking scenery you can imagine. The midnight sun was shining and the sky was blue. We also met some really nice friends along the way!
