Mini-Sven in Jokkmokk

Posted 6th April 2011
Jokkmokk, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 145,287 miles

Evening all!
I'm back on home turf again and back in Sweden. I've gone right up to the Arctic Circle to a town called Jokkmokk where they have a famous market every February and that's what I've gone to see. There was lots to do and see and lots to buy too. Lovely. I'll have to set my diary to go back next year!
lots of love

Mini-Sven in the Hague

Posted 10th April 2011
The Hague, The Netherlands: Distance Travelled = 146,424 miles

Hello!
I've travelled down to The Hague for a quick trip. It's very flat here and not really enough snow, but it is where the third large city in The Netherlands and where the parliament meet. So it was a very interesting place to go. Visiting The Netherlands meant that I was far more interested in completing a vital teddy bear challenge, read on to see if I completed it...
lots of love

Mini-Sven Meets the Metal Man

Posted 10th April 2011
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Distance Travelled = 146,449 miles

Hello!
I had a lovely time in the Netherlands. I found some clogs that were the perfect fit for me, but to be honest they weren't as comfortable as Swedish clogs, so I didn't get them. We'd been shopping for a toadstool, for Brownies back at home and thought it would make good thing to sit on. When up came another travelling teddy from Germany, so we had our photo taken together. It was lovely to meet another travelling bear. :)
The best thing about this trip was that I managed to finally meet The Metal Man at Schiphol airport. Because we were travelling from/to Sweden we went through the Schegen gates and that meant that it was hard to get to the metal man. Luckily I met a wonderful lady from immigration who allowed me to go through to have my photo taken. So I have completed one of the travelling teddy tasks - to have my photo taken at the metal man! Yay, I'm number five, I wonder who will be number six?
So, where to next?
lots of love
Mini-Sven
