travel day

j1

4:00 am: After 3 weeks of no surf, all the forecasts promised good waves the same day that I was leaving Sweden. I couldnt let this opportunity pass so I grabbed my board and got in the car. I don’t know who is crazier, me going surfing at this hour or Sofia who came to shoot pictures from the stormy beach…

j25:05 am: Arriving at Torö, getting in the wetsuit (still damp from the water ramps). It’s chilly for august.

j35:10 am: first wave, got it like this for another hour before the crowd started filling in.

j58:30 am: Made it back home, time for breakfast and switching the surfboard for my ski bag!

j610:45 am: Back in the car to go to the airport.

j71:20 pm: Bye Sweden.

j9??:??: Me and Oscar Harlaut just after arriving in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 16 hour layover so we went straight for the city to do some sightseeing. Super hot and humid, not a place for jeans.

j1012:30 pm: (malaysian time). Subway portraits.

j112:15 pm: The world’s tallest buildings (until Dubai built their 800 m+ skyscraper).

j124:00 pm: Sweat.

j134:30 pm: Malaysian zoo. Turtles and rabbits together? I don’t see why not.

j17the North American fastfood frog. (Eatus Milkshakus Whopper)

j155:30 pm: pre-flight pizza dinner in the back alleys of Kuala Lumpur.

j162:30 pm: (NZ time) After another 10 hour long-haul and a domestic flight, this was the first thing that greeted me upon arrival in Queenstown. I LOL’d.

Now we’re going to go pick up our rental car and get the heck out of the airport cafe. Then sleep for a solid 12 hours.

stay tuned
