Richard Pantzar in Seattle!

The biggest spider in Sweden

2009-08-20T21:13:00.001+01:00

When did these monsters invade Sweden. This wolf spider is the same size as my hand sized 10. I am scared now. Cannot sleep.

Me, myself and I

2009-08-16T21:55:00.001+01:00

A clunk from the magic fountain and voila, we are now three :-)

Pub crawl

2009-08-16T21:52:00.001+01:00

Now it is time for a break from all the sightseen and hit the pubs. Cheers for a successful day!

Inside Coloseum

2009-08-16T21:49:00.001+01:00

Coloseum is my favorite attraction by far. Imagine all the gladiators fighting, the crowed sheering and the final verdict from the emperor. Will he live or die?

Getto super star

2009-08-16T21:45:00.001+01:00

Found this LA gang banger in one of the allies

What creature is this?

2009-08-16T21:42:00.001+01:00

Walking through the allies in Rome can be both scary and interesting. Here we found a church with sculls and this eagle woman. Very creepy.

The seeling of St. Peter church

2009-08-16T21:36:00.001+01:00

Once inside the church the first we see is the detailed art in the seeling. Very impressive

The square at St Peter Church

2009-08-16T21:32:00.001+01:00

And it is a beautiful day

Look behind you

2009-08-14T11:09:00.001+01:00

Hey Peter, look behind you. It is the St. Peter's

Capitoline hill

2009-08-14T11:05:00.001+01:00

At one of the seven hills in Rome the Capitoline temple is showing of it's face. A great battle did once take place here but not a single trace can be found.

The arch of Constantine

2009-08-14T10:50:00.001+01:00

Next to the magnificant Coloseum the arch of Constantine is shining triumph. 315 a.d.

The Coloseum

2009-08-14T10:39:00.001+01:00

I have no words that can describe how magnificant this gladiator arena really is, you just have to experience it yourself.

First dinner in Italy

2009-08-14T10:35:00.001+01:00

A self portrait of our first meal in Italy. I have high hopes that the food here in Italy will be great but the food at this restaurant was just ok. Maybe we should not expect anything of the tourist restaurants of Rome?

Beautiful Rome

2009-08-14T10:25:00.001+01:00

Rome is magnificant. Full with buildings and artifacts from 300 a.d. or even before christ.

The end of Nora

2009-07-31T02:43:00.001+01:00

2008-01-01T17:02:00.001+01:00

After the first ride of the day me and alexander paused a moment, gazing in the horizon on the rising sun.

Sky phenomena

2008-01-01T16:57:00.001+01:00

Valparaiso at night

2007-11-23T03:35:00.001+01:00

This picture is taken from the roof of where i stayed. This view, me, Lisa and a bottle of wine... Mmm

Quintay harbor

2007-11-21T15:01:00.001+01:00

The Quintay village is famous for their seafood. For over 100 years ago Chile started to fish whales from Quintay. This is the place where many sperm whales were caught. Today the harbor is only a tourist attraction with great seafood and with a beautiful surrounding landscape.

Watch out for the beach lion

2007-11-21T14:33:00.001+01:00

Monday afternoon i was chillin at the nice beach of Viña del mar just next to Valparaiso. A place for tourists like me. You really need to watch out for bag thiefs. Us sleeping tourists are an easy prey for a hungry young thief. But now, there is one new and far more dangerous threat entering the beach...

Viña indomita

2007-11-19T21:31:00.001+01:00

In Casablanca it is possible to experience wine tours a la Chile in one of many mansions. We chosed to visit Viña indomita which is a fairly modern wine producer, started 2001. This tour was everything else but a winner. It really sucked. It would have been better if they would have thrown stones at us or just done something. A good thing though was that the surroundings were beautiful...

After blast ruins

2007-11-18T19:45:00.001+01:00

Chile have alot of gas pipes running under the streets and a couple of months ago a real tragagy appeared when a leaking gas pipe exploded. the explosion killed hundreds of people and totally demolished the whole street, except for one thing. This blue cracked wall.

The perfect breakfast

2007-11-17T18:46:00.001+01:00

On the top floor of my friends resident we having the perfect view with the perfect breakfast. Scrambled eggs, toast, coffe, strawberries and ice cream. Njam!

Stop watching television!

2007-11-16T23:43:00.001+01:00

Here in Valparaiso you can find personal art with connections the artists home. "Shut off your TV and turn on your life".

Garbage can a'la Chile

2007-11-15T22:25:00.001+01:00

It took me several days to understand what the strange cages were that could be spotted randomly on the streets. Not until i saw this cage filled with garbage i finally got it. Yes!

Wall of art

2007-11-15T22:24:00.001+01:00

In the hills of Valparaiso every second wall is covered with some art. The interesting part is that the paintings are very well preserved. I wonder how long a beautifull piece like this one would stay untouched in Sweden?

A stunning view

2007-11-15T19:43:00.001+01:00

Valparaiso's landscape is so nice. It doesn't matter where you look it is just stunning. A panorama view from where i stayed.

Creepy or sweety?

2007-11-15T19:42:00.001+01:00

Imagine to meet this clown when it's dark and creepy. This was during the day and i still think his creepy...
