Finally, we went on a premiere trip with the campervan and electric bikes. We have travelled with the motorhome several times earlier this year, but this was the first trip with an overnight stay. It was also the first time we had the electric bikes in the motorhome's garage.

First trip with the motorhome
After all the hassle, and not least after we got the problems with the gas in the motorhomeit was really nice to get away at last. We lifted the electric bikes into the the garage that we rebuilt and packed clothes and food for just over 24 hours. Not a long trip for sure, but still fantastic to be on the road again.
Camping at a nature reserve and beach
We chose to roll to a campsite on the coast, within the recommended 2-hour radius. It has great pitches for motorhomes, a nature reserve, cycle paths, a nature trail with information signs and a beach. Where are we? We will tell you more about that soon. We haven't had time to look around properly yet, but on Tuesday there will be a proper report.
Rain and wind
The weather was not exactly fantastic. It was raining when we arrived, and we spent an hour or so filling water and doing other practical things in the car. After a while the sun came out and we went for a little walk ... only to be surprised by rain and wind again fifteen minutes later. At least we were able to see that it is really nice here, so we are looking forward to exploring with the electric bikes in better weather!
Evening in the motorhome
We worked at the computers and enjoyed spending time in the motorhome again. How cosy is that? We started talking about our 1 year long motorhome trip around Europe as we did in 2015. If we ever get the chance, we want to do such a trip again. There is so much more we want to see and experience in Europe!
For now, we are enjoying our relative freedom and the feeling of being outside with the motorhome. We cooked good food (sorry, Peter cooked good food), we drank some wine and we listened to French music. And yes, the gas worked well!
It was a nice and cosy national day. How did you celebrate National Day?

Yes, it was National Day yesterday, yes?
My "celebration" looked like this: pouring rain all day, a little, little sore throat = total isolation, some blogging and pizza for dinner.
And yes, our driver from Sri Lanka sent congratulations on National Day. 🙂

We also do not have any direct tradition around the national day really. A little fun with the driver 😉 Get well soon!

Congratulations to you that you solved the problems that were, packed the motorhome and left. The post feels like it was Birgitta & Matt's instead, for Helena & Peter. We had done the same thing. Have a good trip!

Great that you got away, even mini tours are cosy 🙂 A bit of a shame about the rain though....
Here we had fine weather but there was no real celebration. Just an ordinary Saturday. Well, fairly ordinary considering... Well, you know what.
Have a nice Sunday!

Totally agree, even small trips can be cosy! Thanks for the same!

Here we had time to play 9 holes of golf before the rain came so then it was an indoor day, some crafts in the motorhome and a good fish dinner. Surely it is cosy in the motorhome almost regardless of the weather. Hope you have a nice Sunday!

So good that you got away on a trip. There was a lot to do beforehand.
As for the celebration, I think it is tricky to celebrate something that I do not really know why I celebrate. But regardless, we had a great day with friends out at Steninge Castle and even the evening was successful with champagne and good snacks. But that's how we usually have it on Saturdays regardless of national day. (Yes, it can be any day / any day of the week when it becomes that "little extra").
Wishing you a nice Sunday.

No, we don't have any special traditions either, and you can have a cosy time from time to time! 🙂

How nice for you to roll out again, just for a short trip too!
You don't have to go far away all the time 🙂 .
And I'm glad it's working for you again with Adrian!
Became curious about the place you are in, looks nice actually by water!
Our day yesterday was quiet at home in the rain.
Take care....

Great that you are on the road again! We celebrated the national day on the west coast, more specifically at Skallkroken's car park. The weather was so and so, but what does it do when we are in our house ice????

Glad you managed to get away anyway. The weather was a little better today, at least no rain and the sun shone from a clear blue sky after 17 o'clock so... It will be exciting to read where you ended up.

Can understand the feeling of finally getting out "for real" in a newly fixed and fresh motorhome!

So nice that you could get out and roll a little again. We celebrated the national day by going over Stekenjokk along the Vildmarksvägen when the road premiered. Then there was super good pizza for dinner and then we were invited to a good pastry for dessert.
