20.06.23 – Towards the Sea

Today we woke up to an incredibly humid heat in the morning in Verdun which led to the decision to drive to the coast where it’s cooler. We started driving at around 12 and had a long way ahead of us. During our trip we passed through many small french villages some of which looked like out of a cowboy movie. But also many empty and rundown. We arrived at the sea at around 20:30 after a day of driving and then started searching for a spot to stay over night. In the end we chose a camping spot 200 meters from the beach where we could stay. And with 10€ per day, it isn’t really expensive. After parking we made some Ravioli again for dinner. As it began to rain again, we couldn’t really do much. We wanted to explore the small town a bit though so we got our rain jackets and made a little walk in the rain which was fun!Shortly after we went to bed and got a good amount of sleep as the temperatures were much nicer here at the sea.

18.07.2021 – By the Seaside

As we are on our mission to reach Gothenburg, we drove further up north along the coast. For our next stay we found a nice little spot right next to the ocean and only a few hundred meters away from a small sailing club (that we weren’t allowed to stay there only occurred to us the next morning). First wanted to stay directly next to the sailing club on dedicated pitches so we could use the showers and bathrooms, but unfortunately were all occupied. Because of that we drove to the parking lot a few meters up the street.
After we parked and enjoyed the view for the short while, we began to search for a nearby geocache. We found it relatively quickly in the bushes behind the sailing club and after that walked further up a small path that led us to a labyrinth. We all expected to find a mansized one out of hedges or so, but it actually was just a small pattern of a labyrinth made out of small stones on the ground. It still looked interesting though. After a small climbing session on the nearby rocks we went back to the camper. For dinner wie cooked Spaghetti again but this time made our own sauce with fresh vegetables. After watching a beautiful sunset we went to bed and listened to „Die Drei ???“ before sleeping.

The small labyrinth!

17.07.2021 – The Wooden Fortress

Today we said goodbye to Häckebergasjön and drove further up north-west. We passed Helsingborg and drove until we stopped in Jonstorp to go shopping. After that we ate a delicious pizza at Pizzeria Mona Lisa. We even could speak in german to one of the workers because he has lived in Germany for 10 years before moving to Sweden (he told us it’s less stressful here than in Germany).
After finishing our pizzas we drove further up in search for a place to stay until we arrived at Himmelstorp. There we stopped and hiked to Nimis, a really interesting place! It can be best described as a wooden fortress built only out of wooden planks and sticks – and one can climb through it. It felt like a „Wilde Kerle“ movie!
After climbing through the wooden construction we had a beautiful view over the sea. After inspecting another small mysterious ruin a few meters next to Nimis, we hiked back to the camper. It started to get dark by now so we really needed a place to sleep. And this place turned out to be a meadow next to Ransvik Havsveranda, a cute little restaurant located directly next to the sea. As we didn’t shower since leaving Hamburg (the swimming sessions in the lake only count as half-showered), we hoped to find at least running water in a public toilet, but we were unlucky.. But the beautiful evening at the seaside and our nice sleeping place under the stars made up for it!
