July 14, 2010 Karlskrona - First swim in the ocean!

Girls woke up at 5.30 this morning and thought it was morning - kind of was, just too early. So I told them it was in the middle of the night and they should go back to bed, so they did :)

I have a great place to stay and we get hotel breakfast every morning - I don't have to make it or clean up afterwards!!! Score!!!  Its a hotel as well as apartment hotel and then they happen to have a little cottage in the court yard that I have. I looked up the lady Irene that helped me get it to thank her for her kindness and help. Really sweet lady, her dad used to run it all before her and her daughter actually used to live in the 'cottage' where we are.

We went and applied for the girls' Swedish Passports today! Olivia and Chloe's at least, have to go back for Sienna's in a couple of days. It only takes 5 days for it to arrive and they send an SMS when its ready. I have noticed a lot is with SMS here now. Even the train ticket - you can choose SMS ticket or pick up. If you do the SMS - you just show the conductor your mobile phone when he comes to check tickets. Pretty neat.

This afternoon I spent 3 hours on a little beach with the girls, surprisingly enough the water wasn't that cold. I would have gone for a swim if I had a suit on. We made a whole city of sandcastles and rivers and god knows what. I have sand everywhere now :) Girls are doing great with making friends wherever we go. Normally its Chloe who is very forward and finds them quickly but today Sienna did and she was talking Swedish like a Swede!!! :) :) :)
They also walked around all the flats in the hotel today, to invite kids to 'pool party' - in the little blow up pool. It was cute, nobody was home.... that is when we went to the beach instead.
