Next morning we awoke to pouring rain.  I have never been so glad to be in a tiny cabin in my life!  It would have been an absolute nightmare to wake up in the tent and try to pack up camp in the driving rain.  It really was quite relentless and even packing things into the car was difficult (for Steve!) I had other jobs to do as part of renting the cabin such as sweeping,...

Goodbye Sweden. Hello Denmark.  We set off from Kinney’s house with no destination in mind.  We were planning to stay somewhere in Denmark overnight and then meet my friend Gitte and her family the following night and stay at their house.  We headed back over the massive bridge system that links Sweden and Denmark and made it to Nyborg for lunch.  The bridge that links two...

Our Swedish road trip was coming to an end.  We packed up the Vaxjo campsite and headed back to Kinney’s house in Horby.  Before we left the Vaxjo area we had to pop into the castle (slott) just down the road called Kronosberg Slott.  It weren’t able to go into the castle but we had a look from the outside.

We made it to Horby for lunch. It was great to see everyone...

Before leaving to drive to Vaxjo (Vek-sher), on our last morning in Falkenberg, I checked our email and discovered the fax we thought we had sent to Spain regarding our accommodation had not worked. So we set about faxing it again from the camp ground and crossed our fingers that it would work this time.

We had another short day of driving to the Evedal Campsite just 5 km...

Following our lovely weekend in Hono Island, we packed up and moved camp down the west coast of Sweden to Falkenberg.  We chose this spot because it wasn’t a long drive from Gotenburg and guide book indicated that the camp facilities were good.  We were pretty happy with our choice of location with only a 5 minute walk to the beach and equal distance to the local ICA...

Of course we accepted the invitation and now we are part of a team of family travel bloggers that aim to help families with their questions on travel with children of all...

We woke to find everything in the tent survived the night without getting wet even though we’d had more rain overnight.  We packed up camp; spent some time on the internet at the campground office (where it worked best) to book some of our upcoming travel. Finally we hit the road to Gotenburg.  We didn’t have too far to drive and we made it to Gotenburg for lunch.  After...

Leaving Stockholm the only thing we knew was which road we were going to drive on and that we would divert off the highway to Berg Slussar, another town made famous by the Gota Canal and it’s many locks.

We arrived in Berg in time for lunch.  We chose to stop here because Berg has not just one lock, but 11 of them; one set of 7 and then 2 sets of 2 locks all in a row. It...

The next stop on our Stockholm tour was Skansen. Once again, my reading had told me that this was a sight that we must see if travelling with kids; and after a wonderful day of fun I have to agree.  Today we knew where we were going and had mastered the public transport system so we arrived at Skansen without issue.

What is Skansen?  It is the first open air museum and zoo...

We didn’t sleep easily because the room was a little stuffy.  If we opened the window then we got to hear the local hoons in their cars roaring up the main road.  Nevermind. We set off into Stockholm. The hostel was a short distance from train station. We bought tickets for 3 for 75 krona to get just 2 stations away to T-Centralen!  When we arrived there we promptly bought...
