Clarion Sea U

K1

After all the crisscrossing, it felt so good to have a slow weekend next to Araslövssjön. For dinner on Friday night, Linnéa made canard à l'orange, which was simply incredible together with a bottle of K1 Shiraz from Adelaide Hills that I had brought along from Kalmar.

Sticking to the French theme, we then watched both The Dreamers and two thrilling episodes of Lupin, which has become one of the most-watched non-English-language series on Netflix. Set in Paris, the series combines the playful gentleman-thief tradition of the early twentieth century with the legacy of French colonialism in a way that immediately draws one in. As for turn-of-the-century nostalgia, I brought along a box of Mozartkugeln from Austrian Airlines, adding a little Habsburg sweetness to our otherwise French-themed weekend. Now I am on the train to Helsingborg where I will stay at the Clarion Sea U before taking the first morning train up to Gothenburg and my new apartment on Ahrenbergsgatan.
