Absolutely NOT counting calories tonight
I have arrived in Stockholm this afternoon. The drive up was uneventful except for the short stop to go grocery shopping. Which I shouldn’t have done. It was crowded, of course! But in hindsight you’re always cleverer afterwards. I had to drop into the city centre quickly, got my new book and a very short…

Morning on the ferry
About an hour left before arriving in Göteborg, the darkness is fading away slowly and I was testing the phone camera’s low light sensitivity. 😉 I’ve had breakfast already and now I’m just relaxing before the drive up to Stockholm. Traffic is probably going to build up through the weekend, so I will just take…

Heading to Sweden
On board the Stena Germanica heading to Göteborg in just a while. I’ve almost never just gone through check-in and went right onto the ferry, but it seems like it’s a bit quieter than during the summer. My winter holidays start now!

Lunch Time

Sunshine in Sweden
I have arrived at my destination in southern Sweden (Jönköpings län) just shortly after noon. It’s been a nice drive up from Malmö, where I arrived early this morning. My first stop was at the ICA Maxi supermarket to get some groceries. Duh!! Obviously I always enjoy to get couple of things not available at…

North bound

I’m still struggling with pain in my back, but the mountain bike and my hiking boots are packed in the camper. Which, by the way, is connected to electricity on board the ferry.…

Hadrian’s Wall
Today’s stop, and the last one of my trip, is a cute campsite near Hadrian’s Wall. The drive down to northern England was wonderful already. Even with the tips in clouds and patches of fog along the way the green hills of the Scottish Borders gave a charming farewell. Arriving on the site I was…

Goodbye Edinburgh
It’s a cloudy, overcast morning on the campsite in Edinburgh. Last night’s raindrops are still running down alongside the camper and wet mist is keeping the air damp and my clothes wet. I’ve cleared up in the campervan and will disconnect the electric in an little while. Then it’s goodbye for this time. It’s been…
