On recent trips to northern Sweden and the west coast of Portugal, Courier Ricardo enjoyed radically different climates and landscapes.
Harry and Jimi, 2 cats from London to Sweden
On his journey to Sweden, courier Ricardo had Harry and Jimi for company. These delightful cats made the journey from London to Västernorrland in the north of Sweden, to rejoin owners Clare and Philippe.

Nimbus, a dog from Stockholm to London
Having delivered Harry and Jimi, courier Ricardo headed to the Swedish capital where he met up with Daniel and his white Mini Schnauzer, the appropriately named Nimbus. Darling Nimbus travelled to London, where Daniel is relocating.

Nessie reunited with Sarah in Surrey, ready for her onward journey to Shropshire. Sarah messaged us on FB saying: Huge thank you to the team at Animalcouriers for bringing little Baroness (Nessie) over to the UK for us, she travelled all the way from Sweden, and is settling in quite nicely. Thank you to Ricardo for driving her over and for meeting us in Caterham so we could collect her and bring her home 😊

Difficult to say who had the broadest smile!

They are all so happy. We’ve had plenty of forest fires here.
Bet you have. Do huge areas go up in smoke each time?
Safe traqvels.
Thanks Jovina
The images we see here about the heat are really startling, and I have been wondering how this affects your travels? While the stories and images are amazing as always, I can saw the Swedish lake is calling to me across the generations from my ancestors who must have seen it. Plus a white schnauzer as a bonus!
We do have to keep a good eye out on where the fires are and reroute if necessary. Getting more complicated this summer. Those Swedish lakes call us every time we pass!
What precious pets they all are and they look QUITE happy not just when they are reunited with their families but on the trip itself thanks to Animal Couriers!
Hugs, Pam
They were a happy bunch and good company on the road!

We do have to be well informed of fires throughout our summer trips in Europe. Avoiding tactics are worth the extra miles 😉
A long exciting trip. Great photos.
They were long but rather beautiful.
All such cuties. You are doing a very good job. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks, our pleasure!
