Finally, we have a completely free weekend and the opportunity to go out with the motorhome. We have taken a rather short turn and stopped at Bredsands camping in Enköping. Here you stand nicely by the water and the sun warms gently - not bad at all!
Bredsands camping
Bredsands Camping is a fine campsite on the shores of Lake Mälaren, now run by Nordic Camping. Many of the pitches slope downwards towards the water, but otherwise these grass pitches are excellent. There's also a decent service centre, a simple restaurant and WiFi. What we like about this campsite is the relaxed environment and the great location right by the water.
We gorge on seafood
For this weekend we have (finally) got hold of some really nice seafood, so this will be a seafood weekend. Last night we had oven-baked mussels with herb and garlic butter, fresh boiled crab and salmon pate. Not bad at all!
We didn't get any prawns, however, as 450 SEK per kilo is a bit too much ... Our absolute favourites among seafood are crab, prawns and mussels, but we also like crayfish, lobster and crayfish (although we think that lobster is usually overrated). Do you usually eat seafood and what are your favourites? What are you doing this weekend?

Mmmmm.... it looks delicious mussels and crabs :)
We relax by the car, take a dip in the Mediterranean and a spaghetti frutti de mare will be..... little bike rides in the surroundings will also be. This trip is just too lazy so then it will only be known places where we know we can enjoy and relax.

Just Another Crazy Blonde, a little computer damaged maybe...? But who isn't?
😉 😉
Broadband camping sounds like a really high tech campsite. Often the Internet works a little shaky on the cheaper campsites, so it might be something!
😉
Leena, it was very good too! And there will be more tonight!
🙂
Sounds like a very nice trip! Sometimes you want a little adventure and experience new things, but sometimes it's nice to just relax! That's what we try to do on these weekend trips too, even though it might be a little colder in the water here....

Hello Freedomtravel gang! The Loovemachine Olofssons here!
Looks lovely! We have used our motorhome so little this summer that algae grew around the window, disaster.
Changed jobs, the children moved away from home and Little Miss a bit cranky this summer has meant that we did not travel as much as we wanted!
Barcelona next summer is booked, but next week we go to the book fair in Gothenburg. Hopefully we will be a group of motorhomes in the car park that can hold the "positions". Because what is better than buying the books on site and then lie down and read "at home"!
Looks good by the way!
Have a nice continued weekend!
Hugs from Oumberlige Peter and PocketHexan!

Peter Olofsson, a trip to Barcelona sounds wonderful! I've never been to Barcelona, unfortunately, but I've heard a lot of positive things. A trip to the book fair wouldn't be bad either! We usually read a lot when we are out with the motorhome, especially for Peter. He can open a new book in the morning and not put it down until he's finished. Our favourites from this summer are "Mr Clarinet" by Nick Stone (Peter) and "Even Silence Has an End" by Ingrid Betancourt (Helena).
Greet the wife and hope you have a good weekend and a nice weekend in Gothenburg!

We took the car on a sunny Friday and headed to go:teborg to visit my father's grave, eat Indian food at Bombay, Saturday we tried Styr&Ställ cycling (how fun, incredibly smooth and... we ended up before an environmental demonstration on a _bike_) and today Sunday we headed to Nääs castle in Floda and got an absolutely fantastic guided tour as we were the only visitors!
Speaking of books, I actually have some sadness... last weekend I read the absolutely wonderful 'The Hundred Year Old Who Stepped Out of the Window and Disappeared' by Jonas Jonasson!
That was our weekend, also the first completely free in the motorhome since the holidays ended.
