Friends Visit from Egypt on Volvo Ocean Race.

This is Mahmoud's family, a friend of Elrener from Egypt. The family have been to Finland, Talinn and their final stop to Stockholm for 3 days before they fly back home to Egypt. Somehow Mahmoud is not with them in this trip.

Ellie came to me last night asking if Mahmoud could come here for a week to Stockholm before she started her summer work later. Need to have a discussion with Peter.

The Volvo Ocean Race coinside when they are here in Stockholm and we bought them there to see it. Thousands of people came to the port when the sailing boat arrived in Stockholm. 8 months in the sea and travelling to different countries in the world and finally they arrived Stockholm.




Ericsson 4 is on the top list of 110.5 points.


Closer look of Ericsson 4.



Telefonica is being lifted up for repair.



We stop for a drink as in one of the restaurant and bar. As usual Gabriel always needs his rest after long walk.


Dinner later that night at TGI Friday.


Gabriel posing with the mannequin sailor. There are plenty of activities for children and adult.



Peter and Ahmad compete in The Grinding Challenge for the fun of it. I can see them struggling after the colour level gets higher. This is how tough the sailor uses the grinding each time they changes their course accordingly to the wind direction and they do it so fast and quick with the challenge of strong waves.



Ahmed won!!



Gabriel wants me to take his photo with the Giant Ericsson Dummy Mobile.
