A trip to Belgium wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the beach, something we don’t have easy access to here up north. I was looking forward to officially introduce Oona to this giant playground of sand, waves and new smells. And boy she loves smells!

On a very hot day, when I felt like I was melting away, we escaped to the coastline where there is almost always a fresh breeze and parked our van and the car of our friend with their noses towards the sea. In between the two cars we installed a little camping table, some chairs and a portable barbecue. The dogs kept some curious seaguls on a distance while we enjoyed a veggie BBQ and toasted to the friendship that brought us once again to this beautiful place.

After this meal, that of course tastes a 1000 times better when you’re out and with friends, the beach was almost empty. Even the last surfer probably got hungry and went home. Time to let our crazy dogs out! Giving them the freedom-word is like popping a bottle of shaken champagne: the dogs run like silly puppies in all directions 🙂

For Oona this wasn’t only her first time at the beach, she also made a new furry friend, somthing that doesn’t come easy for her. Where we live now, we hardly see dogs, so when she sees one it’s big alarm: INVADER, INVADER! But this funny and always happy Vizsla Irko had the charms to be liked right away. She even got so obsessed over him that she forgot to be intimidated by the waves – and I’m glad about that.
Their playful energy was so contagiously that even Ravasz ran with them once in a while! At age 12 that doesn’t happen so often so seeing him this happy filled our hearts with pure joy.

When the sun got tired and went to bed, we went back to the van and turned it into a thee-house on wheels with a floor of super tired dog-spaghetti. We could just fit in all together just like when we traveled together a few years ago. The sound of the water boiling on our little stove, the tea in small cups and plastic spoons, the smell of tea and wet dogs in the van,… it brought back so many wonderful memories of wandering through Norway, Sweden and Finland— and back then we had some dreams but we didn’t know that we would actually move to Sweden.

And as I’m writing this, the sun is rising again, telling me it’s time for bed 🙂
So goodnight and goodmorning and talk to you later!
