Southern Sweden – Savouring Småland
We said goodbye to the coast and made our way inland through Småland. We found a camping spot on a lake just outside of Växjö. It was a nice badplats (bathing place) with friendly locals taking in the last remnants of the setting sun. We cooked up a simple pasta dish accompanied with a salad …. Read More

On the evening of August 10th we managed to find a nice little spot to free camp in the car parking for Östra Sand badplats. Not the most picturesque of locations but it was only a five minute walk to the beach and there was plenty of flat ground for level camping. The car park …. Read More

Well, it came down to the wire but finally we have Myrtle ship-shape and ready for the maiden road trip! This is not to say the conversion is complete… far from it. We have much more work to do but most of it is aesthetics which will be tended to later. For now, we are …. Read More
