Since we’re celebrating an engagement anniversery over here today, what could be more appropriate than our soft kissing…? This is from summer 2005 at the Medevial week in Visby, a medevial town on the Swedish island Gotland, outside Swedens east coast.

As you may notice, we’re NOT dressed medevial, but in 18th century style. Actually it’s our wedding outfits! It’s the Swedish Royal colors, blue and yellow/gold and with wigs and all. My wig is very high, so I’m having problem not to get stuck everywhere with it… *giggles*

The wigs are special ordered by us and we’ve choosen the hairstyles ourselves. We pointed them out from a catalog and the store made the hairstyle after that, they just ordered the hair from England. It’s very soft and authentic looking. So actually, now and then the wig has to go to the “hairdresser” to be washed and curled again. *lol*

So how come we went to a medevial event in 18th century outfits? We’re crazy enough to be different, to not be bothered if we get noticed among the masses. And we did. Phew. We’re photographed of tourists all over the world by now… *lol* Though it wasn’t that popular among true medevial lovers…

This was only the first day, the rest of the days we dressed properly in our medevial outfits. We bought two different outfits to wear. Mr Lifecruiser is very cool in one of his. There is people that actually lives medevial life for a whole week in tents during that week. We were not that brave…

Now… On to the celebrating and love making….

(Sorry, private party - no soft nudes pic here today ;-)

This one is a Scania manufactured in 1901-1902 by Maskinfabriks AB Scania, Malmö, Sweden and it’s one of the first ones that was made by Scania. It’s also the oldest preserved car of three test models they made.

It was called “a stroller” and was inspired of French car models. It has a water-cooled engine and something called “planet gearbox”: two gears and one reverse. Power is transmitted to the back axle by means of a chain and universal driving shaft.

Effect: 6 hk (hp or 4,5kw)!!!!

Though I must admit, as a woman, my main thought when I see this is the old fashion style that were back then. All those long skirts the women were wearing and the climbing up they had to do in those cars… Oh my.

I just know that I would have stumbled ;-)

This shit is broken…. The shit doesn’t get washed away - what kind of shit is this?

Welcome as guest in our toilet, just don’t make any business like poop in there, because you’ll be terrified! When you flush the water level will rise dangerous high and you’ll still not get rid off your shit! *giggles*

Don’t make me tell you how we got rid off the shit….

We have called the service department yesterday and I just wonder when they’re going to get their shit out of their asses and come here and fix the problem instead of talking a lot of shit!!!!

It’s the same problem with the shower, so we’re very shitty people right now. *lol*

We won’t take this shit any more ;-)

TIP: Don’t miss the Admission round for 13 A-Team Cruisers down below! We’ll have a FUN cyber event later!

Theme: Gross | Blogroll Info | Next week: Broken
Almost the same as the gross Silver fish head I showed last week. But there is some difference actually.

The Swedish word Gross is actually an old way to count:

1 dussin = 12 of anything
1 gross = 1 dussin dussin.

Clear? *giggles*

Gross is 12×12 = 144 is the right answer with other words.

Later on we just started to use the word gross for something that comes in a big amount, not precisely 144 things of something.

Grosshandel = Big volumes of merchandises, what you would call Wholesale I think.

So this is Gross in two meanings.

A lot of gross huh? *lol*

Photo from our trip to Iguazu waterfalls (on the border of Brazil and Argentina) from Estancia Aventura, Paraguay on our South America trip 2005.

Iguazu has 275 (!) waterfalls with an average height of 40 an 80 meters! Much more beautiful than The Niagara Falls! We were visiting Niagara the month before, so we really had it fresh in our memories for comparison.

The Iguazu falls is situated in the beautiful Iguazu National Park, which has 67.000 hectars of tropical rainforest, so it really is out in the nature and not at a city area like Niagara falls.

I think I have to write an own post about this fantastic trip later on… See it in pictures is not quite like in real life, but gives you a hint :-)
