    Leg 1 – Arrival in Stockholm

    The night on the ferry was calm, just a few waves, but not too much movement. Unfortunately, I lay awake for too long due to the loud fan of the air condition. Even with earplugs it was a bit noisy. We arrived on time in Göteborg and as the ferry was well booked, it took…

    Northbound

    After one last day in the office I drove down to the terminal. Boarding has already started for cars and the personnel was eager to get motor homes on board as well. The sun has come out as well almost a few clouds and I’m all green for this year’s summer holiday in Sweden!

  • Skansen

    A few images from today’s visit in Skansen. My yearly pass was still valid. It was a wonderful day: cold, sunny, snow – just as beautiful as the city can be!

  • Stockholm

    Left for a long weekend on Thursday. Off to a nice snowy start at the terminal in Kiel. Arrived to a fresh -8° C in Stockholm yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, the previous night was so cold, the water crane was frozen solid. Well, no fresh water in the tank for me, except for a few litres.…

  • Rainy Start in Stockholm

    When I arrived in Stockholm yesterday, it was pouring down with rain the whole day. It was evening, when it finally cleared up. So, I did stay in the camper and had a cosy afternoon. This morning, was a mix of sun and clouds and I decided to go for a short bike ride around…

  • Boren Rundan

    This morning I went for a short ride on my gravel bike round lake Boren. There even was a gravel section. Quick stop at the Borenshult locks in Motala. Still quite windy on the first leg. Took it slow, but I fear I will feel every muscle tomorrow. Last day here in Borensberg today and…

  • Breakfast

    While I am still sitting comfortably in the camper today doing nothing but relaxing, I thought I’d just update some snapshots: breakfast with a view earlier this morning and last night’s highlight: Juno. Juno is one of three ships traveling from Stockholm to Göteborg via Göta and Trollhätta kanal during the summer months. I’ve actually…

  • Borensberg

    Quick update and just a couple of phone snapshots. I took the short drive to Borensberg today. Apparently, people like to be early. Yesterday, most of the spots in Sjötorp were already full. Today, the queue was enormous. A good thing, I had booked in advance. Borensberg has a lock and a bridge and I…

  • Sjötorp

    So, this is NOT going to become a food blog, but today was about stocking food and eating. After getting off the ferry in the morning I went to my preferred supermarket in Göteborg to stock up on groceries. Had to accomplish one other task which – in the hurry I created for myself –…
