Our 6 days in Paris passed very quickly and before we knew it we were on the plane to Copenhagen and from there onto the train to visit our friends in Morrum, southern Sweden, where we will be spending Christmas. Cherryl has known Inga and Phill for almost 50 years and we've had a couple of enjoyable holidays with them at their home in Sweden in 2007 and also in Germany in 2012. The day after our arrival we travelled to the nearby town of Karlshamm (Karls = Charles, Hamm = Harbour) which is about 10km from Morrum on the coast to stock up for Christmas.
The next few days we will be experiencing our first traditional Swedish Christmas. The main celebration is on the 24th December and so far today we seem to have been eating all day. Tomorrow is the 25th December and we will be celebrating an English Christmas, with more eating and drinking.
We are finding the very short days challenging. The sun doesn't rise until around 9am and it's dark by 3.30pm. At least now the days are getting longer.
