A trip to Mazar-e-Sharif

About a week ago, I suddenly got a call saying that there were free seats on the German plane to Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan, where the Swedish Provincial Reconstruction Team is located. I accepted the offer and stayed in one of the rooms in the camp and went to the skolmatsal, the church and did all the other things Swedes do when abroad. The camp is actually really nice, so nice that many like to stay there instead of going out to 'the real Afghanistan'. However, the Swedes are among the bravest - the Germans won't leave their camp unless they are accompanied by loads of others.

The city of Mazar is really beautiful with a famous blue mosk in the centre. My camera was not working to well though, so here are some of the few pictures I managed to snap.
