Böda Sand – Swedens Riviera

At last a day in the sun. Böda Sand in the north of ”Öland” (an island of the coast of Kalmar) sun sea and sand and a lazy day doing absolutely nothing. Arrived at 11 and the beach was already busy. Threw down my towell and sat there looking out over the sea and enjoying the scenery. A great mix of young familys, groups of both boys and girls and even some pensioners soaking up the rays.

I lay there listening to different conversations and came to the conclusion that a lot of holiday makers should be prescribed a dose of valium. On holiday you should be enjoying the chance to relax just sitting there and appreciating your free time not sounding like you´re stressed out. A typical example was a women around 35 who turned up with 3 kids her husband (i presume) another couple and what looked like her mother. First she put out all the towells then told everyone where they should sit at the same time put the kids swimming trunks on poured her husband a cup of coffee helped her mother with her sun chair all the time giving everone instructions in a loud voice and telling the kids what they should and should not do. Then when one of the kids answered her back he recieved a sharp ”keep your voice down” no one else wants to hear your opinion. Classic soap opera stuff.

4 hours on the beach two trips into the sea and a litre of water later and it was back down the 136 to Kalmar.

Kalmar FF got the result they needed away to the Moldovian side FC Dacia. 2-0! Goals by Israelsson and Sobralense. Five games in a row Petter Wastå has kept a clean sheet and shown that he still is Kalmar´s no 1 goalkeeper.

Helsingborg beaten 2-1 at home to Häcken is a good result for the chasing sides.

Hammarby in the Swedish cup semi final is a good draw for Kalmar FF.

Soaking up the rays.

Böda Sand a must for 2011.
