”Tusind tak for den umage, som I gjorde jer, for at vi skulle få en så dejlig og interessant tur i Småland og på Katthult hos Emil og hjertelig tak for jeres venlige væsen, som gjorde vores tur der til en helt uforglemmelig god tur. Alle sammen var virkelig glade og vel fornøjede med turen, som I arrangerede for os.”

”Wir haben bei Carina und Carina eine Rundtour per Auto ab Vimmerby gebucht, da wir nur einen halben Tag zur Verfügung hatten und per Zug angereist waren.
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen: Wir waren in Bullerbü, in Katthult und an verschiedenen Filmlocations in Mariannelund.”
