I had a short but nice trip to Budapest. I was there sunday evening til thursday morning. Wednesday was Christmas Eve; the most important day of the year for me. Here are some of the pictures made that day:

When we were on traning camp in Italy, San Benedetto del Tronto, our photograf, Charles, took some really nice "model pictures" from each of us. Now he is done with his work, and here are some of the results. If you want to see some more pictures, take a look at my Swedish blog. Enjoy the pics but watch your computer from drooling to much... : )

Yesterday we left to play the cup against Hamburg - in Hamburg. It took many hours with the train to get there, and from there it took some time to get to the hotel as well... and from there to the gym... and back to the hotel... and then to the train station. We played a short game, slept some hours and travelled back again. My life is a big travelling... how effective is it to travel 13 hours for 1 hour of playing?!

Not to mention: Hamburg is further away from here then Budapest is! That means I could go home and visit my family, drink a coffee for one hour and then take the train back here. Well, that´s quite what we did now, except: instead of taking a coffee I played a game... not the same thing? I know, but looking at the time proportions it´s kind of similar!

Can´t all the volleyball players that play in the same league move to the same city?

Then we just had to travel within the city, it would be so much easier... saving a lot of time... I know: I just keep on dreaming...

It is never early enough to begin to think and prepare for Christmas. Today there are 20 days left until Christmas eve, my favourite day of the year. So my friend and I talked and said "Hey why don´t we start baking all kinds of cookies from now on till Christmas and bring home for our families and friends?!". Yeah, why not?

Yesterday all day and today half the day we baked, and here´s the result in pictures:
