Motorhome and travel year 2017

The year is coming to an end, and we feel it's time for a little year-end recap. We can conclude that in 2017 we have visited twelve different countries and tried a number of different adventures. New for this year are diving, climbing, mountain biking, helicopter rides and sailing school ships. What a year! Now we're looking forward to an exciting new 2018, where we hope to inspire you to have small and big experiences. We hope you'll join us!

January: Austria

We started the year with a ski trip to Alpbachtal in Austria, together with our friends Lennart and Beata. This was the first time in the Alps for us, and it was a great experience. We can highly recommend the village Reith and Hotel Pirchner-Hof.

February: Caravan Stockholm

In February we hung out at the Caravan Stockholm motorhome and caravan fair. We photographed lwicked motorhomes in 360 (so you can scroll through the images) and did a report on the topic of 11 hot camping gadgets for spring. In addition we lectured at the fair!

March: Boat show and diving course

In March we went to both the boat show and the wilderness show, which was even more fun than expected. At the boat show we photographed everything from luxury boats to vintage boats, and we also listened to female solo sailors. When Peter tested scuba diving he was immediately hungry for more, and shortly afterwards it was dive course.

April: Malta and Tallinn

We started the month of April with an adventurous trip to Malta and its sister island. Gozo. Here it was diving, mountain bike and climbing. Later that month, we set off to discover Tallinn. We got to experience, among other things two cool hotels, and different guided tour and dinner at restaurant with a 20s atmosphere.

May: Sailing and Amsterdam

We started May with a pattern on the old the school ship Gratia in Nynäshamn. How cool is that? We had a marvellous experience and learnt at the same time both about the the vessel and how it works with sailing courses. A little later that month we travelled to Amsterdam for a cool concert and a bunch of experiences in Amsterdam.

June: Helicopter, Ringsö and Czech Republic

We started June with an awesome helicopter ride over Stockholmand then we went out to Ring island in Mälaren, where Peter would later work. Then it was finally time for our motorhome trip around Poland and the Czech Republic! During June we visited among other things Adršpach Rocks, Kutna Hora and Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic. What cool places!

July: Czech Republic, Poland and Tylösand

We continued our motorhome trip and realised that the Czech Republic has so much to offer! Among other things, we visited castles and vineyards and the water-filled cave Punkva Caves. Then we continued with the motorhome to Poland where we visited everything from Krakow to the wisps (!) in Bialowieza National Park and they Masurian Lakes. As we rolled into Sweden, we had time to visit the centre of Tylösand.

August: Switzerland and Wismar

In August, we went on a fantastic trip to Switzerland, where we tested driving, among other things. downhill mountain bike in Zermatt and eat raclette for dinner. We also took the motorhome to Wismar in Germany, together with a bunch of other happy motorhome drivers. We experienced the city of Wismar, Sweden Festival and Baltic Sea campsite. Thank you to everyone who took part in the trip!!!

September: Mediterranean cruise and Greece

In September we tried a cruise for the first time, with Royal Caribbean. On board the ship were everything you could wish for (including an ice skating rink!) and we also had time to visit the Marseille, Nice, Rome and Vatican City. A little later in September, Peter went on a press trip to Cassandra in Greece.

October: Jogersö, Femöre and Västerås

In October we drove the campervan to Jogersö camping and sea baths with the motorhome. During the same trip we also had the opportunity to enjoy the sun in Femöre in Oxelösund. A few weeks later it was time for a motorhome trip again, this time to Västerås and the fine the car park at the guest harbour. On the way home we also had the opportunity to meet three ghosts on the Engsö Castle.

November: Event in Stockholm

During the month of November, we most in Stockholm and went to various events. Among other things, we visited Travel News Market, and so we joined forces with the journalists in the Swedish Tourist Journalists, during a lovely evening at Stadshuskällaren. With Helena's job, there were also trips to Jönköping and Norrtälje.

December: at home

During December we have really only been at home in Stockholm. We have spent a lot of time cooking good food - everything from incision to soups. We have occasionally gone out to look at a favourite Christmas market or some ship in town, but mostly we have ... travel plans! On 30 December we are going to Israel. We are really looking forward to this so much!
