RudyRuth: September 2014

We've just come back from a fab week on Umea, Sweden. This was our belated #honeymoon. It was Alan's idea due to the great music scene that comes out of there and also the amazing artists and crafters that my husband loves. Here's a few pictures from out hollimoon of what we got up to :)

This is one of the may things that I loved about sweden. Everyone cycles everywhere, even to thier festivals. There were seas and seas of bicycles. Only thing is, I always loose my car in car parks. Not sure if I'd be able to find a bike in a sea of bikes :/
This was the first day we were there, the UXU festival. Which is a festival organised by a group of people that have got together to put on some fabulous music for the public.

This is Alan and myself watching #INVSN

#INVSN

We assumed this was where you ou wrote which bands you'd like to see here next year. So Alan did a little bit of promotion for his DJ mate #LENKEMZ
I've just done a translation and it means 'i dream of...' :)

There were lots of other bands there, all amazing to watch. #pheonix was a favourite of mine. #thurstonmoore kicked the festival off which we ate our gormet burger and meatballs.

Here's just a few pictures from the Vasterbottens museum. There was lots and lots to see there, we even had to go over 2 days as we couldn't fit it all in in one day.
Part of the museum is a traditional swedish village. People are dressed up to make it more authentic. If you're there and get offered a walk and talk definitely do it. We did a walk and talk and the guy was so informative and very proud of his heritage. I learnt lots of things (forgot lots now too). I even learnt (please dont laugh) that wolverines are actually real. I thought they were something marvel made up, eek. Such a dufus!
