It's gonna be alot of fun!

if you are lucky I will let you know what happened. ;)

Happy Summer!

Sunday, we were ready for the final fight! Norway and Romania in the final.  
we met Lena at the arena. Norway lost to Romania again.

After the matches where over, we had “ stalked” some people and GF world Cup was officially over.. It was sad to walk out of the arena.

That evening we went down to the big kitchen on the campground to cook the rest of the food we had left. There were everything to eat.. It was fun and at the same time sad.. the final evening had come to an end..

Monday, only fun thing about Monday is trying to fit everyone and their luguage into the cars. :D
it was a sad goodbye at the trainstation. And I was on my long trip home again..
I ahd met some of my best friends again.. I had met some new people who would become my best friends.

this week can be summed up with the words.. Fishy Fishy Hai hai

 

bye Bye See you netxt year!

Sadurday morning we got creative and made flags of all nationalities. That morning was alittle cold. Windy. Our warm weather had started to go away. L

That day Line a Danish girl was gonna be with us at the games.. she was supposed to stay with us for the weekend but something came up and she was just watching the games with us on Saturday.

Saturday and semifinal day. Before the danmark game they threw out little GF balls and me, meike and Pauline managed to catch one each. J Julia and her sister where there that day,.

After the day in the arena we said bye to Line.. Ulla and that car drove her off to the trainstation and the twinscar went back to the camp ground.. I was making meatballs and fake mashed potatoes that evening before we finally went to the beach.. Everyone liked it it seemed.  :P

Saturday evening and finally we manage to make a fire.. some of the girls had walked ahead to the beach to get the fire going while we others did the dishes.. darkness had arrived.. we came down to a beautiful fire and we grilled our stick bread. That meike had done the day before.. It was awesome.. Megumi ofcourse managed to burn hers. :D
there was a lot of talking going on, some beers where going down random people. ;)
Me and Pauline went trees killing to get some more branches.. I told her the story from the night before when me and meike was killing trees.. Meike had found a brach that she wanted.. only there was like a 2,5 -3 meter high fence there.. still Meike wanted that branch.. so she tried to climb it and I helped her trying to get that branch.. we didn’t make it.. so after what like atleast 15 mins we keept walking.. 2 meters later the fence was only 1 meter high and you could take as many branches as you wanted. :D killing trees just as awesome as it always is.. Pauline and I managed to gather around some wood and went back to our lovely fire.. 

Ulla tried to make a group photo.. It was funny as hell.. it didn’t work out that great I can tell you. :D

Reality was starting to hit me atleast.. next day would be the final day.. Monday I was going home..

 

breakfast and flags

haha I so know Maren is jealous. :D

Megumi happy about getting meatballs?

happy hungry people

fire

ulla trying to get a group photo


Ehm yeah! :D

You know Friday is the day off from handball, this is the day we invade Århus city, Have a big fire in the evening and just have a great lot of fun.

 

So we found a parkinghouse after a while, the thing is, we walked out the wrong way, and didn’t really find the city at first. :D then we find a big shopping gallery connected to the city.. inside Megumi wanted to buy a new memory card for her camera.. Me and Maren found an X-box 360 with Lego Batman on it that we decided to play.. It was so awesome! But Megumi was finished nad we had to go.. only outside  the shop when we had walked for a bit, Megumi saw that it was the wrong tyupe of card and had to go back and change, Me and Maren rushed back to play. :D

This Friday we would also pick up our 9^th camper, Pauline, She is French girl Living in Norway.

Meike had promised Max to get and ice-cream and take a photo of it.. Because the year before the two of them had bought it.. we all ended up buying Ice-cream and Meike took a photo of us!

in Århus we wander around checking out Players as they go shopping too.  We didn’t sit down and eat this time because it was so full everywhere, we did however sit down at a place, and the coffee drinkers got themselves some coffee.

There was a dude walking around collecting Money for some charity of some sort, was it dolphins?  Don’t remember.. anyway.. he first walked over to the first part of our group.. and when he noticed they didn’t speak Danish he got sweaty and started to speak in bad English.. then he came over to us and started in Danish again, and then we said we don’t speak Danish and he was like. OH no! not again! ( but in Danish) :D anyway, we gave him some coins and he happily walked on. :D

We went to pick up Pauline at the trainstation.. the gang stoped to look at postcards and I looked out over the little canal and some birds swimming around in it. :P
some of the girls headed over to a store to pick up some stuff for out evening at the beach and Me and Ulla went to pick Pauline up.

after we had picked her up, we all went back to the campground.. where at the bathroom area we found Big lego! And decided that we would build a house, the kids that we are.. Maren went to put the water on for dinner. Maultaschen..

After a lot of building and rebuilding and more rebuilding, the house, that we named our handball temple was finished. :D

after that we went up to see Maren cook Maultaschen and Meike make stickbread for the fire..

I picked up my videocamera and the cooking show had begun. Sadly for you, you won’t get to see it. ;)

After eating Maultaschen we went down to the beach to get the fire going.. Only we thought we had seen a fireplace before.. we were wrong.. so we started off to walk around on the beach in the dark trying to find a place where we could do a fire.. after a while we found one and me and Meike went off to kill trees.. only thing is.. it started to rain.. and there was no way we could get the fire going..

So we hid all our stuff and went back to our cabins.. we would have to hope for better weather on Saturday night for a fire then…

 

icecream!

Building!

Me in the handball temple. :D

maultaschen!

 

 

That meant football day, also last day of the group play.

Today we would find out which 4 teams we would see play during the weekend. 
Germany was already out, They are going to play against Denmark.
France and Hungary in the other game, not a game we were really interested in.
Sweden had to beat Romania and Norway had to beat Russia.
Romania was already qualified and Russia was already out.
So It was standing between Norway and Sweden.  That was really not what I was looking forward to. See Sweden is MY team, It’s my girls, and I would love to see them go through. But the same time, Norway, Norway is the team that brought us all girls there together, It wouldn’t be the same without Norway.

But let’s get back to the beginning of the day.  You know the breakfast stuff already, no need to keep writing about that..  after breakfast Ulla, Flo and Leti went to the beach, Me, Maren and Meike went to play football, Jen was waiting around for Megumi who was in the Shower, after sleeping Long. I think that was the day Maren and I went to wake her up :P

Anyway We found a football field, this one had real goals, the grass was not the best on the other hand, But you know, it was good enough and it was fun.  Note to self though, don’t play in a white T-shirt.  After their trip to the beach Ulla and Leti joined us on the field and the game begun. Ulla Shot me right in my tummy, or well on the side of it, so I got a big fat ball mark on my T-shirt. :D  Leti who is spansih, score the final goal.. at it was a beautiful one!

I must say, the girls don’t have the most awesome technic when it comes to shot or stop or pass the ball, but I guess that is what makes it kinda fun too. :P I love them though, and I mean, who am I to Judge, just because I have played pretty much since I was 5. ;)

Thursday also meant  Sweet little Danish girls at the Arena.  Julia and Tenna!
Tursday also meant  Megumi still having jetlag after over a week and falling asleep during the France – Hungary game. :D

But let’s start with Sweden – Romania. So we know Sweden has to win to have a shot to reach the finals. We sat with the Parents, We had Yellow Shirts. I had bought some for Julia and Tenna too.  And we manage to get a Draw. Romania didn’t play their best. Sweden did okay.

Then you know. The next game was just really boring. So Boring that Megumi fell asleep. :D

Then it was Norway - Russia, if Norway won, they were through to the Finals. If they Lost Sweden was.  Of course Norway won after making us Nervous for a while.

Then it was Denmark- Germany. Would Germany get a point before going home..  actually no, they got beaten pretty bad.. losing 27-19 in the end. Too bad! I like germany, they have alot of great players, sadly they just don't get it together as a team. :(

It was a yet another great day in the Arena.  And for me it was really great to see a Special friend again.


football! =)

The little ones! :D


and Megumi fell asleep! :D

After breakfast and the usual morning routine, It was gifts time.. I had bought some stuff with me from Sweden to handover to my camping buddies and Ulla had some Sweet Berlin- bears.
I also got some nice Salt from Max. :P Awww how I miss him! I also got a thing from France, It’s a ball you should build together yourself, Something to do on the train back home. J

Megumi brought her crazy hot snacks from Japan and that made Maren so Happy. :D

Ulla fixed an internett pass and we checked the forum and the news to see what was said about GF World Cup, and ofcourse the interviews. :D

After that Ulla decided to head into a nearby “town” to get some money, and the rest of us headed towards the beach!

The beach was located at the other end of the campground. So after walking around the campground, we found a door in the hedge and it opened up to a small walk through the bushes, and then there it was, the beach!  Big, beautiful, windy and just like the beach should be. The seven of us girls walked around, took pictures looked at stones, Megumi and Maren even tested the water.

There was a float dock on the beach that we sat down on. There was a guy out in a canoe.

Megumi layed down on very small dock, and I sneaked up on her to scare her, I tried to splash water on her, but she just didn’t react..

Heading back from the beach we checked out one of the playgrounds. Megumi tried to be a firefighter, that didn’t work out so good. She banged right into the pole and I laughed my ass off.
there was some swing and stuff to climb on.. Not the most fun place in the world but it kept us occupied for a while.. Then it was time to head towards the arena.

 

Tonight was the night of The Norway Sweden game..  And at the arena we also saw Katja Nyberg! Yes Katja Nyberg was in the house!

What else. I mean there is always a lot of talking and so going on in the arena.. And the really not awesome tasting hotdogs.. :P but you know.. It was okay for lunch.

A Danish friend named Christina was there and came over to say hi!

I also got to be a honorary German, we tried everything to help them, it just wouldn't work.

Norway beated Sweden.  Ulla got a Hug from Gro after that. Megumi was torn what shirt to wear, her Norwegian one or the Swedish one I gave her. :P

all in all, again a very great day!

Hot Snacks!

Megumi taking a nap.

 

we played around with stones. :P

Playground

 

Germans keeping the spirit high!

Good Morning Århus! Or at least Ajstrup Camping! :D
I got up and went to the bathrooms, got a shower, felt great! After the morning routine, back to the cabin and got some breakfast. Flo and Leti joined me a bit later, as usual.  And after a while, a car I recognized showed up to the cabin next to us, the Twin-car!
Ah man was it great to see those two again! There were hellos and hugs, and the two of them joined our breakfast table, they had been driving the entire night, just as last year.. So you know, there was a lot of talking, catching up being made, before it was finally time to go to the arena!

The weather was beautiful by the way, and warm, no need for warm clothes! A T-shirt was good enough. J

Anyway, we packed ourselves into the Twin-Car and headed towards the arena.

This year, they didn’t have the scanner for our tickets, so they started to rip them!  Some of us got a little nervous, saying No, no! We need them for the entire week. :D of course I had already put my Swedish jersey on, and of course the dude had to comment on it. This year they checked our bags for food or drinks. I only had my camera bag with me, but I had to open it anyway. And the guy asked if I brought the camera to take a pic of him, of course I sad and started to grab my camera. Then he yelled no jumping away and laughing.  Stupid Danes. ;)

We walked into the hall, and Sweden and Russia was already warming up, seeing the players running around there at the bottom, got me excited, another week of long hours in the arena had just begun, and I Loved it!

Sitting down, a few Swedes walked up to us, they had asked one of the people in the yellow wests, the guides where there seats where, and they had just pointed at us and said sit with them . :D

So I discovered that they were the parents of Angelica Wallén and Anna Maria Johansson.  Really nice people!  After a while Ulla showed up, great seeing her again! J And then Maren and Meike had to go to the station fetching Megumi and Jen.

Sweden won the game over Russia by 1 goal, made by Jessica Helleberg with only a few seconds left! Awesome!  

Mom of Majsan ( Anna Maria ) was not so impressed by Russia’s coach, Mr. Trefilov. He screams a lot, and very loud.  It is pure entertainment to just watch him During a game, I guess she wasn’t used to him, because she said something like, - can’t they give him a Yellow card or a 2 min suspension for all that screaming. :D

Seeing Norway playing was also nice! Gro Hammerseng was back with the NT and back as Captain, Things was kind of back to Normal in a way. She belongs there, the first one in line when the team runs onto the court.

Denmark is also a team I like watching, so is Germany, maybe because there are players there that I recognize.

After a long day in the arena, it was time to get back to the campground, there is just always something  happening when the crazy bunch is united! So back at the campground, our cabins where surrounded by grass, no real rod up to the cabins, and there had been a lot of rain, so Ulla’s car got stuck in the MUD!  We had to go out and push it back on the road so she could drive another way up to the cabin, only thing is, Megumi got sprayed with Mud from the tire!

So she had to go down and wash her clothes at the bathrooms, so that night she was sitting around in a Norway T-shirt jersey and shorts! BRRR! She didn’t want to borrow the offered clothes. :D

after some beer for Ulla and the ones who needed that, some sandwiches and other stuff, it was time to say goodnight after a long day.

Happy Parents. Over: mom and Dad Johansson. Under: Mom and Dad Wallén

Me and Meike in our shirts, and Over us is Ulla. :)

 

 

So 1 week ago I was still on my train back home at this time.. Janis wanted an update and ofcourse Janis should have one.. It has just been a busy week with football and work and all that jazz, it's hard to come back to real life when you have lived 1 week in a bubble.. :D

Monday Morning the 20th of September I started my trip Towards Århus in Denmark.. I took the same trains this year and it actually went by smoothly.. Only my 2 train was about 15-20 mins late when we finally arrived In Copenhagen Denmark.. I have learned my way around that trainstation by now and it is no problem anymore.. :)

I had about 1 hour left before my next train would go so I got some Danish Money and Bought myself some McD's to eat.

When I finally arrived in Århus around 5.40pm.. It rained outside.. I took my phone out and tried to Call one of the girls I was gonna live with.. We said we would Meet at the station in Århus.. and when i called, I got no answer.. i texted her instead but still no answer.. I went outside to see if they had allready arrived and waited for me ther.e But noone to be seen, When i went inside again I saw the backside of a person i recognised.. and Sure it was Leti. I got a big hug and she Told me our other friend/ her girlfriend was in the little store to get some food. I went in to to get some food myself.. Then after that we took a taxi to the campground.. we had to take another campground this year.. the one from last year didn't want us back.. because.. wait for it.. We had left the place messy! PFF! My ass, we cleaned it up. they just didn't like us for some reason..

Anyway, this campground was about 15kilometers outside of Århus.. It was really great and the people there was really nice..

The cabdriver was kinda funny.. he had this radiostation with old danish music that he just loved to sing along/humm along too.. and I tried so hard to not start laughing at him.. :D

Anyway we got to the campground safely.. and we found the door with the number we should call.. so while the 3 of us stood there trying to decided who should call, the door opened and a little woman looked out.. I said Hello and that I am.. ( insert my full name) and she smiled and said she had waited for us.. we walked in and she gave us a bunch of information and the keys and all that stuff..

She spoke danish and I got every word of it.. :) Her English was great too by the way..  the funny thing is.. On the trains and stuff, people always speak Danish to me and I never really understand them when they speak longer lines.. But this woman was no problem at all.. Wierd..

anyway we went to our little cabin and Flo and Leti needed the map to find teh bathrooms.. :D

Then we made Dinner.. We ate Rikke Skov's ( Like big flat meatballs) only we called them Rikke Skov's ( Rikke Skov is a famous Danish Handball player) I have no idea why we called  them that.. Wierd tired Humor I guess.

after that we were all pretty tired and went to bed.. The Spanish/Romanian connection took the "bedroom" So I slept in the bunkbed.. and when I saw it it looked tiny and I thought to myself, this will never work.. But damn I sleept good, the whole week.. :)

Sadly, My friend Silke can't come.. Stupid work, always getting away of the fun.. :(
Julia will be there on Thursday and Sunday though.. :) and she is brinnging Tenna!
Rikke will be there on Sunday.

28 days.. That is frigging 4 weeks! :)

I'm just so excited.. I think I have more expectations this year.. since i know the people.. Well Not Jen, but she seems awesome! Maybe since we knon eachother abit better this year, it will be more fun.

everyone is still talking about saving that stupid Cat! I mean seriouslly.. I doubt the cat is still there..  and I wasn't even mean to it.. I just took it away from us before someone hurted it.. (A)

Keep checking in now and then.. the countdown has begun!

I bought my traintickets today.. in 38 days i will be on my way To Århus from Copenhagen right now.. :)

This year we have some new friends staying with us at the campground.. :)

one girl from singapore.. and hopefully my other friend from Berlin.. :)

I might attend a small handball tournament in my city this weekend.. Just to get some spirit up before GF.. :)

in 50 days I will be back in the arena. in the arena that made me faithfull to this sport for the rest of my life.,

in 50 days GF world Cup '10 starts.. I bought and printed my ticket last thursday when they where released.. It's so awesome to sit at the computer with your creditcard in one hand waiting for the clock to tick and the tickets be released..

our little group got tickets near each other so we will all be together :)


I can't wait.. I will by my traintickets soon too.


The waiting is teh hardest part ever though.. I wish it was tomorrow!

But 50 days is nothing.. Soon the High of walking into the arena, hearing the uptempo music blare through the speakers,hearing the scratches of shoes against the floor and the rassling sound of the balls hitting the net as the players warms up for yet another handball party in worlds class..

I can allready smell the smell of Victory!

Time to go home

It was sunday morning.. I didn't sleep  much that night.. there was too much stuff swimming around in my head. at about 7-7.30 I got up.. My clothes stinked like, oh god, i don't have words.. I couldn't use my jacket.. thank god I had packed my fleece so I could use that.. My hat and scarf had been in the car when we were at the pub so they were okay..

My lungs hurt from all the smoke the previous day,, my head hurted like hell.. and well I could have felt better.
as Much as I love traveling and meeting people, I hate to travel home.. :P and after all the late trains and stuff on friday I wasn't really looking forward to a long day on train again..

so after forcing some breakfast into me.. I heard Ulla waking up.. She was sweet enough to  offer to drive me to the trainstation..

I packed up my bags and sat down in one of the couches when the others started comeing down.. they was feeling worse then me.. I gave Ulla and Silke some painkillers.. I felt so sorry for Silke.. she was really feeling like crap..

eventually I had to take off to the train.. There was some sad goodbyes.. a Big Silke hug and then we were off..

Ulla stayed with me at the trainstation.. after some waiting the train showed up and we had a sad goodbye again..

I was on the first train and a long day had only begun..

trains where on time for once.. the day was un eventfull really. everything went one fine.. Only X2000 to Sweden was alittle late..  on that train I chatted alittle With Rikke and Then Julia.. always nice to have some company even though they aren't right beside you..

then My train in Norrköping was late as usuall.. Mom and Dad had been to Arlanda to pick up my Big brother the same afternoon so I called and said that they could take it easy.. I actually made it home to Eskilstuna Before Mom came into town and got me..

When I got home I was greated by a happy Chomper.. I got food and we talked alittle.. then I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow..

---

I don't know if I can compare this trip with the one to Århus.. there are just 2 compleatly diffrent trips.. with diffrent expectations..

I finally got to meet people I had wanted to see for so long..

I think that everything that happened that Saturday was just incredible..

it's cool how just 1 weekend can make you grow so much as a person.. doing stuff like this makes you find new sides of yourself..

I mean I do stuff that I usually wouldn't dare to do, I came out of my safe bubble and I manage to solve the problems that needed to be solved during the trip..

I mean, I missed a train.. I didn't panick.. I din't break down.. I just took the next one.. :P

I think Iam much thougher then I give myself credit fore. The world out there isn't so scary as I think it is..

I'm happy I have gotten the oportunity to experience this awesome weekend..

I'm happy that people were just as great in reality as I made them up to be in my head. :D

and I can't wait for the next handball adventure to begin

thanks for following me, I think the story of this trip is over for this time.. But you know me and my memory.. there might come a part 9 - the stuff i forgott.. :D

if not, take care, I hope to see you all again soon!

Hugs and Kisses, your handballtraveler Anna....

The pub

so after the game and everything at the Arena we wen't to a pub.. The pub was called Bondestuen. and for me that sounds like Farmhouse. I guess I will have to ask Julia about that one. :P


our cars!


the lovely pub


Anyway.. they Pub.. Was Lovely.. but.. It was filled with smoke.. aparently since it was such a small place people were allowed to smoke inside.. and when the smokers among our gang had to go outside and smoke because it was so smoky inside, well I think you can get an Idea ;)



anyway.. some people decided to get some food.. I had eaten my lunch and wasn't really hungry so i decided to ditch that and eat back at the B&B instead.

so inside the pub there was alot of talking going on.. funny pictures taken and it was really nice..

It's so sweet just hanging out with friends like that.. everyone from diffrent places.. you learn alot.. meet new friends..

anyway.. Funny thing.. Megumi doesn't like weggies.. haha and Ulla had a huge burger..so She decided to just eat half of it.. Megumi who likes to try everything.. was trying to eat a cucmber, even though she doesn't like them.. :P So while she wa sitting there, makeing funny faces.. I decided to show her how it's done. :D

So I picked up the other cucumber and told her.. You just eat it, like this.. :P



and then she tried to force feed me with hers.. :D


Ah man I love this girl!

I mean look at this, here I'm trying to have a serious conversation with Ulla, Cori and Dani, and what does Megumi do, Bunny ears behind my head.. :D



Anyway as if todays game was not enough.. some people decided to watch Byåsen - Larvik.. are you a handball fan, then you are a handball fan.. :D





another funny thing.. people kinda notised that we weren't all danish.. :p and the fact that the man in the bar kinda shouted it out, didn't really help to keep us annonymous either.. :p so one really happy drunk danish dude came over and decided he wanted to have a chat.. :P he walked over to one of the girls that actually were danish, Rikke, and asked in pretty good English.. so, where are you from? and I didn't hear what Rikke responded from all the laughter around me.. But she gave him a pretty good answer in Danish because after that he wanderedon with his beer.. :P


we left the pub around 8th.. because then.. Christina, Rikke and Julia was off with the train home.
and we drove off to the B&B. It felt like the middle of the night though..

I have never been so exhausted after just a day in my entire life.. I don't think all the smoke in the pub helped much either..

well at "home" at the B&B Ulla, Silke and I wen't and payed for the B&B. then we sat down in the couches, ate some snacks.. the rest had some drinks, I had some juice.

I noticed that I had a HUGE blister under my foot, this photo is taken on Thursday, and  I got the blister saturday so that is 5 days later..


the girs started looking at photos and putting each others photos on their computers.. and we just talked about the day and life in general.. Ulla again shared her story about her wife, showed some pictures and yeah.. it was a lovely night..

we had some terrible movie on in the background.. and then we found some danish kids channel.. :P and when they didn't show anymore programs at that channel you got to watch the characters sleep while a clock was ticking down untill the programs would start again.. :D

around 1 I headed of to bed..


I can't tell you guys about everything that happened that day, because you know the saying, what happens in Ikast, stays in Ikast ;)

all I can say is that I feel sleep with a smile on my face.. :)

after the game, we it was time to meet the players.. get autoghrafs and photos.
This is when the crazy part begins.. :P I mean seriouslly.. People are like Hawks out there..

Anyway.. I got Gro, Katja and Ingrid Ødegård's autografs. :)

I also got to take some photos for a norwegian girl with her HUGE camera. :P




I also got a photo taken together with Gro.

for once I actually look short. :P


you have to give alot of Kudos to the players for their patience.. I mean people are lineing up well some of them just basicly attacking them to get a photo or a signing somewhere.. and the players just smile, take their time. talk alittle and are just wonderful. I mean they lost a tight game.. I'm sure they are dissapointed and still they are such a friendly bunch.

I mean you would never see a football player like Zlatan, Christiano Ronaldo or whoever else.. Do that.. and they earn more money then all of these players do together.. They could really learn alot from these girls..

Anyway after fighting with " The Hawks" , Me and Julia started palying some handball.. Rikke and Megumi joined in..
and the thing is. You just have to love Megumi. She is the crazies person I know.. and the funniest thing is.. She has absolutely no ball-controll what-so-ever.  just watching her trying to catch the ball and ah god.. It's just so funny. the danish girls on the other hand.. they know what they are doing.. Me, well not so much.. Handball is damn hard.. they just make it look so easy, and I was abit scared I would hurt someone so I took it alittle easy.. mostley standing in the goal. I thought that I can't do too much damage to anyone in there.. :D

I tried to be a wingplayer and score from the side.. But when you are right handed you play from the left side.. and then you should run and jump off your left leg and try to score.. That just didn't work for me..  Julia on the other hand, She scored..

So if I was to play handball.. I think I would be a good lineplayer. just stand there and have like 4 people climping on you and then you catch the ball, wrestle loose from the defenders, turn around and score.. Simple huh?
Or maybe not.. :P

I think Rikke tried to plan something up with Julia there.. she was explaining in Danish.. hehe, Megumi looked like a big ? and I was concentrating to understand what she was saying.. well Rikkes plan didn't work.. :P
I must say, she has a pretty hard shot, being a goolkeeper and all, But she didn't hit the goal that often.. and when she stood in goal, she wasn't really that close to catching the ball either.. don't know if she tried.. But I mean.. I used to be a football goaly.. and for me it is harder to keep away fromthe ball.. because usually when you are inposition.. you just react and your arms shoot out towards the direction of the ball automaticly.. Then i must say.. Football and handball are compleatly diffrent when it comes to goalkeeping.. Even if Julia don't believe me..

Silke gave me a really nice pressent too.. I got the player cards with autografs from the Leipzig team.. and a "musmatta" have to look that up.. ah, mouse pad with Sara Holmgren on it.. ♥

and also when we were playing handball.. I saw Isabella Gulldén, she and a friend was talking to Johanna Ahlm.. But I didn't feel like running and getting my shirt for her to sign.. I will make her sign it the next time I see the NT playing  or if i see a Sävehof game..

anyway after alot of "trying" to play handball.. we eventually had to take off.. we were going to visit a pub.

we gathered around outside.. and sadly the French people had to start their drive back home so we "kidnapped" a couple of germans instead. 2 really sweet girls.. Cori and Dani. They were really sweet.. me and Cori talked alot at the pub.. I really like germans..

anyway.. end of part 6
