What an amazing day..and strenuous. To the peak of our highest mountain in Sweden with a Kanelbulle , cinnamon roll, of 2.860 gr.
I am working as a baker in Kebnekaise Mountain station. Today I am 55 years old and by the time I get 60 I would like to have fulfilled an idea, to bake a Swedish cinnamon roll in Everest Base Camp. When the earthquake came I had thoughts about how to help the country that carries my idea and dream, so today I carried ! a giant cinnamon roll up to the peak and served it together with information of my project to raise money for Nepal. In different ways, but the Kanelbulle as the theme. I have contacted Tuki Nepal in Sweden and they stand behind me. It is also them that you can talk to or look up in the internet if you have any questions.www.tukinepal.org. I will learn more about Tuki Nepal and their projects, but for now, they will help me/us.
06.00. On our way
My nice colleagues and friends
together on a mission.
Great...and steep.
We will soon start to climb
but first a glacier walk.
The Kanelbulle securely tucked away in my backpack.
11 pm and up, but still 45 minutes to the peak.
Oh yes.........
12.00. The biggest ? on the highest .....
The Kanelbulle and me on the peak.
We shared the bun with others on the peak and the reactions were great.Thank you!
On our way down we came across this prayer flags,
and as I felt very humble and grateful for the day, I could not but think that this was a good sign.
And finally I give you
this "Förgät mig ej". In English? Forget me not? and lets not forget Nepal and its needs.

P.s In my next posts I will share some of my Kanelbulle ideas D.s
