Luther is with us every day in Sweden. The Reformation in the 13th century gave us a new and 'modern' church, with Christianity to be preached in the people's own language and without enormous wealth that only belonged to the head of the church. At the same time, we began to celebrate the ideals of simplicity and cleanliness. The excess of luxury we began to perceive as distasteful and a little too much.

We arrived in Vänersborg by motorhome late last night. It was a good distance to drive and it was very windy. Somewhere after Lidköping we started to run out of diesel in the tank. Does anyone know how long and desolate it is between Lidköping and Vänersborg? When we finally found a petrol station, I think we rolled in on the fumes ...
Read moreIt was a trip to Värmdö! We stayed overnight at the ferry station where you can take the ferry from Värmdö to Rindö. We parked in a car park for "Café Lola's" guests. It would probably not go well during the high season, but now that everything was closed, we didn't disturb anyone ...
Read moreIf you want to get out into nature, without travelling so far from Stockholm, we can really recommend Gålö. Gålö Havsbad is located about 3.5 kilometres south of Stockholm, in Haninge municipality. There is a nice campsite and the opportunity to walk in the forest, fish, swim and ski, depending on the season of course. According to the information brochure, you can also hire a bicycle, boat or horse.
Read moreWe are now at Gålö havsbad and camping, in Skälåker in Haninge. This is a very nice campsite with huge green areas, nice bathing area, many electrical sites for motorhomes or caravans, lots of small cabins you can rent and above all really beautiful nature around.
Read moreLast night it was time for a party in Trosa ... We had planned to start the evening by eating a good fish dish at one of Trosa's all fine restaurants. But then it turned out that almost every restaurant in the entire city was subscribed! After a long walk, we finally found a free table at the slightly simpler restaurant "Fyren". But it was not quite as planned ...
Read moreWe didn't leave with the campervan until Saturday, and everything started out wrong. I had a stomach ache, we forgot wires at home which meant we couldn't play music, the film we rented was shit ... well, you get the picture. We still went to Nicksta camping in Nynäshamn. A rather nice campsite with a nice bath at a sandy beach. It was nice to lie there in the fantastic weather, but ...
Read moreNow we are finally on our way to Europe with the motorhome! We didn't manage to go that far the first night (I'm probably exhausted!), but we got to Trosa, which was our first stop. There was incredibly nice with fantastic weather and full of sailboats in the harbour. The next day we continued down to Skåne.
Read moreNow we are on Blidö with Peter's brother and celebrating midsummer. We came here on Thursday evening. We didn't want to sit on the veranda as it was quite windy from the water. Instead, we pulled out the awning and set the table in the shelter of the motorhome. Very cosy to sit there during the evening!
Read moreYesterday we arrived in Valdemarsvik, south of Norrköping. According to a guidebook we have, there are three sites here with electricity. When we talked to the staff at the boat shop, it was possible to stand here overnight, but we didn't find any electricity ...
