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. :)
