We slept well and had breakfast al fresco before leaving Lauenberg marina. John had found an 18th century hunting lodge that was on our route and looked worth visiting. The roads were very busy with lorries, especially around Bremen, but we got to Sögel in about 3 hours and found the parking for Schloss Clemenswerth... Continue Reading →
We’d planned a few places to visit on our way to catch the ferry from Denmark to Germany. Our first stop was Kong Asjers Høj, or King Asher’s Mound. This is a Neolithic burial passage grave, that was so well built, it’s still solid and has needed no reconstruction. The massive upright stones have dry... Continue Reading →
We slept well last night and took it easy this morning, enjoying not having to travel anywhere. We did a last lot of washing for the trip and, because it’s still very windy, we swapped pitches to a more sheltered one where we could sit out in the sunshine. Eventually, we set off to visit...

After a rainy night with some thunder disturbing our sleep, we had a leisurely start to the day. We drove into the city of Køge, a Danish market town and port. John parked Molly Moho and we wandered through the old town with its market square and half timbered houses. We followed a short walk... Continue Reading →
We had a peaceful night’s sleep and woke ready to get on the road again. The plan was to cross the Øresund Bridge from Sweden to Denmark today and hunt for some trolls near Copenhagen. We stopped at Lidl to top up our groceries before heading further south. The smell of the bakery was too... Continue Reading →
From Söderköping, it was only a 45 minute drive to Linköping, Sweden’s fifth largest city, to do Vallaskogen Parkrun. As we approached the old town near the Parkrun, the car park we’d planned to use had signs saying ‘no motorhomes’. Therefore, we went back around the forest to one that had a motorhome sign. This...

We had a lovely drive south to a motorhome aire beside the Göta Canal. Unfortunately, when we arrived on our prebooked pitch we couldn’t see the canal because of the embankment! We could just see the top of the boats as they passed by! The weather has been very pleasant again with sunshine and clouds... Continue Reading →
It rained all day yesterday as we drove to Uppsala, so we didn’t bother doing much in the afternoon, but what a difference a day makes. The sun was shining when we woke up today! After a lie in and leisurely breakfast we walked into the centre of Uppsala, which is a university town and... Continue Reading →
We had a leisurely breakfast before setting off south through the High Coast area and then down to Gävle. The scenery was lovely with hills, lakes, forests, coastal inlets and islands. The only notable feature of the route was crossing the Högakustenbron (High Coast Bridge) which is the third longest suspension bridge in Scandinavia. The... Continue Reading →
This morning, after eating breakfast outside, we dragged ourselves away from the aire at Näske. We really had a lovely relaxing time there. We haven’t moved far though, just half an hour down the road. The aire here is also good, with everything we need, but we don’t have a coast side pitch or a... Continue Reading →
