On Sunday May 24th, we travelled south of the city to Tyreso, to meet up with Kris' colleague, Lars, his wife Eva and his son Vigo. They were taking us to the medieval festival in their town, and they assured us of a memorable time! As we approached the grounds of the castle where it was being held, we entered into history, when knights rode and maidens sang. There was a delicious smell of barbecued chicken, colourful tents and garments on display, and joyful music playing.
The kids tried some of the skill-testing challenges and enjoyed rolling and baking their own flatbread that they ate smothered in fresh butter and honey. We watched the start of the show, the highlight of the day. The knights and their horses were so brightly coloured, and they put on an impressive display of their skill. As the afternoon sun began to bear down on us, we packed up the remains of our picnic and headed back to to Lars' home for a delicious BBQ. Lars and Eva were wonderful hosts, and Vigo played so well with the kids despite the language barrier. Thank you ever so much!
