Stories from my adventures around the world
Today was all about sports. I got up at nine, had breakfast, and then went to Sixt again to collect the car. I was asked if I wanted the flat rate for tolls ($13) but I expected to manage it to Fort Lauderdale without passing any tolls, Google Maps has …
I managed to sleep all the way until nine. Possibly helped by the bar music going on to at least half past one and no workers in the morning since it’s Saturday. Took a really slow morning by watching Örgryte-Brage and the F1 qualifiers. During the second half of the …
When I woke up this morning, it was to the sound of a shredder that workers outside used to shred palm leaves that I guess got torn off by the wind. Last night I also realized that there are two bars and restaurants on the street where I have my …
I did some research yesterday, on what I could do today that requires a car. Since I have it until nine Saturday morning I want to use it. I found another mall, west of Miami called Dolphin Mall. It’s about 30 minutes drive from Miami Beach. So after I got …

I set the alarm for eight so I would have time for breakfast and a swim before heading off to the stadium. Not like a Swedish hotel buffet but it was something to fill my stomach with at least. Put on the bathing shorts and went down to the beach. …
I checked out from the hotel around quarter to nine to get an Über to the Sixt office where I picked up a car, a BMW X3. After extensive filming of the car’s exterior and interior, and setting up the holder for the phone, power cable, Bluetooth, the seat, and …
First I must write something about last night. When I got to bed a loud beeping started, like I need earplugs loud. Felt like a fire alarm but it stopped after about 20 seconds. I looked out into the hallway where another guest said his girlfriend had experienced this at …
