We are home again!
The journey back home went really smooth. I had prepared myself for a slow pace with the children and explaining everything (especially to Fleur), no expectations and just go with the flow. This worked really well. Ofcourse I was exhausted when we finally landed in Copenhagen, especially beacause the children didn't sleep moren than 3-4 hours during the whole trip (of 29 hours). And it felt really weird arriving in this time-zone, being 6.00 o'çlock in the morning, but feeling like late in the afternoon, the light just wasn't right!
That whole first day here was a blur for me, we just fought to keep our eyes open and waited the whole day to finally go to bed in the evening.
And what have we been doing the last couple of days? Well we picked up the car (wouldn't start at first but did eventually...), filled up the fridge again with groceries, got Loekie our cat back (he had to get used to us again...kids just love that they have their own pet again..), tried to get some sleep (kids waking up at three in the night, can't sleep anymore..). We still have to pick up our plants and our mail from our dear friends who have taken care of that.
At the moment it is still a bit of a blur, we have to adjust again being here and my stomach and my mind haven't really landed here yet. We also found out that our Swedish is a bit rusty, haven spoken only Dutch and English in three months. Nils was a bit shy the first days to speak Swedish again and Fleur still thinks everyone speaks Dutch or English... We will get there again! It just takes time :-)

Wonderful to see the pics and to hear that it IS do-able: I never would have guessed that it would be possible to do that long trip alone with two kids and still keep them happy ;)
Det var alldeles underbart att få träffa er idag: TACK för att ni tog er till gympan och kämpade, trots att ni helst ville sova! <3
Varm kram från oss tre här hemma.
Ps. Ses tisdag kväll :D Ds.
Welkom thuis :-) Hopelijk slapen jullie weer op de juiste tijden ;-) Groetjes!
Knap hoor Eefje, zo'n samengestelde reis in je uppie. Fijn dat Nils en Fleur zich zo goed gehouden hebben.
