An awesome weekend in Gothenburg

The last weekend was indeed an awesome one. Not only did I turn 30, it was also the time for Fitnessfestivalen 2012. We spent an amazing few days in Gothenburg socializing with athletes as well as raindeers! As promised, this entry will contain a full picture report from the visit. Oh, and I do apologize in advance for the massive amount of thumbs up. It was, however, crucial for the visit! Enjoy!
