Motorhome weekend in Gävle - 'city camping' in the centre of town

How good you were at guessing! Of course we went on a motorhome weekend in Gävle! We first looked for a place by the canal that is specially announced for motorhomes, but it was full, so we ended up with a car park in the middle of town instead ... But that went well too!

'City camping' in Gävle

The parking lot in Gävle is centrally located by a river, but there are only two places. No wonder it was full ... Since we planned to "do the city" we wanted to be central, so we had to park in the centre. Here we were perfect, close to everything. And here we prepared our Friday dinner: fish gratin with fresh prawns.

May Day celebrations

As we ate, we could sit and look out at all the Gävle residents who were out celebrating Walpurgis Night, or cruising by in their cars... Then it was time for us to check out the city's nightlife. We first went to "Goya" and then to "Harrys".

A guy we talked to asked what we were doing in Gävle and we said we were here in town with our campervan. "Oh, is that what 08s do when they go camping?" he asked. Yes haha, that's apparently how it is ...

1 May in Gävle

On Saturday I had a headache. And when I have a headache/migraine, I pass out and mostly lie still under an ice bag. Plenty of time for Peter to read his book, in other words ... Meanwhile, the 1 May train thundered past just outside. The shouts rang out and the enthusiasts gave impassioned speeches, even after the rain scared away most of the audience ...

We also took a little trip to the city and checked out the shops, but unfortunately it's the same shops everywhere. What fun it would be if there were different shops in all cities and everything was not just chains! I can't say that I was excessively alert, but "Behind my sunglasses..." Well, you know ...
