Mini-Sven goes North

Posted 5th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Polcirkeln, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 36,918 miles

Good Morning!
I've left the sea and have travelled north, I'm going as far north as I can, but I thought you'd want to see the pole cirle, or the arctic circle. This is the point where the sun never sets in the summer and never rises in the winter. I didn't expect to find a real line! Tee hee! Anyway, I'm on my way north, so I'll blog again as soon as I can!
lots of love

Mini-Sven Climbs a Mountain

Posted 8th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Kebnekaise, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 37,072 miles

Morning!
We're making our way even further north and you can see me here in the Kebnekaise mountain range. It's the most northerly mountain range in Europe, there are no more mountains further north than this. That is so cool! I've heard it said that on a clear day you can see 9% of all of Sweden from up the top of the highest mountain here. That's almost the same size as the whole of The Netherlands! Amazing! Anyway, must dash, we're going further north...
lots of love

Mini-Sven goes to Space

Posted 15th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Esrange, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 37,100 miles

Afternoon!
On my way up north I went through the Esrange Space Centre in Kiruna. It was brilliant! I even got to sit on arocket, luckily it wasn't taking off! We've gone further north now, so I'll write more very soon!

Mini-Sven at the Limit of Sweden

Posted 16th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Treriksröstet, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 37,183 miles

Hej hej!
I'm at the most northerly point in Sweden, Treriksröset, you can see me on the big stone thing that marks the boundary. What you can't see is that it is kind of in the water, so you have to walk along some boards to get to it. It's pretty cool though. I'm enjoying my trip north and I've got yet further to go! Whoopee! I hope it doesn't get too cold though!

Most Northerly Sven

Posted 16th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Nordkapp, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 37,373 miles

Hello!
We've made it as far north as we can go in Europe, this is it, as far as you can go. I'm at Nordkapp. Well, there is some dispute as to where eactly the real northerly point is, but the place that the tourists visit is the picture of the globe and the other picture is further north, so of course I had to visit both! This is the end of my wonderful north tour, but I've had such fun! Although, the weather's not been too great, maybe if I go further south it'll get better again!
Another adventure soon!

Mini-Sven on the Mendips

Posted 19th June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Mendips, England: Distance Travelled = 39,007 miles

Good Evening!
Well, I've travelled down from the land of the Midnight Sun all the way to Merry Olde England. It was quite a long journey I don't mind telling you! It was very strange, because as it's midsummer, there should be no darkness, at least, I've not seen the darkness for a while and here in Engand, it gets dark at night! Very strange! So I'm walking in the hills and here I am on the Mendips. It's a lovely place, maybe I'll stay in England for a while!
Another view point soon!

Mini-Sven on Exmoor

Posted 22nd June 2009 - Journey: 2005
Dunkery Hill, England: Distance Travelled = 39,046 miles

Good Evening!
I've moved onto a different hill, I'm now on Dunkery Hill on Exmoor, which is the highest point on Exmoor at 1705 feet. It's very nice here, lots of lovely views. We've been walking lots and lots, so my little feet have got quite tired now! I think I'd like to go somewhere warm and not so windswept next!

Skiing in Dubai

Posted 25th June 2009 - Journey: 2006
Dubai, United Emirates: Distance Travelled = 42,596 miles

Evening!
Well, I'm not one for hanging around, so I hopped straight onto the next possible flight and have gone to Dubai. I thought it was time to go somewhere a little warmer than windblown Exmoor, although it seems like summer has finally kicked into gear! You can see me at the Burj, the big building that looks like a sail, at the Madinat, in a lovely old pot and .... skiing! It had to be done, skiing somewhere this hot!
It was great fun anyway!
lots of love
