Hello again from a Madeira! Today the weather gods have treated us to all sorts of different weather. It is our second day here; there have been moments of enjoying the sun and sights, before suddenly needing to take cover from the rain. As we spent the day in the largest city, Funchal, the weather…
Yesterday we left Sweden and boarded a flight to the Portuguese island of Madeira. We hoped to get away from the darkness and cold for at least a week. So here we are, one day later and are looking back at a new adventure and new learnings. Yesterday was the first time on a plane…
2017 is nearing its end and it’s time for us to write a review of a fantastic year. About twelve months ago we celebrated the new year in Vagnhärad. The plan is to finish this year in the same place where it started. Now we are looking for some time to relax before looking forward…
Hello there! Home sweet home is the first thing that comes to mind right now, after three weeks and a half on the road. It was a fantastic holiday, though. I think that we learned a lot on the way. We also saw some truly fascinating places – from picturesque small German towns to some of the…
Yesterday evening we returned to where the adventure started about three weeks ago – Vagnhärad. Our car has now taken us from Sweden to France and back. It has been a great trip with many interesting stops along the road. We will try to summarize it better later on, here is our last day of…
Our road trip is coming to an end and we are now packing up our things here in Aalborg. We are preparing to leave Denmark early tomorrow. The ferry back to Sweden leaves from Frederikshavn in the morning, meaning that tomorrow is the last day of our trip. The weather has once more made our…
Today we have taken the chance to explore Denmark a little further! We left Kolding this morning and continued north towards Aalborg. We will spend two nights here before we’re back in Sweden. Our initial plan was to make a stop in Aarhus which is about halfway to Aalborg. The horrible weather changed our plans….
This morning we woke up in Denmark, in the town of Kolding to be more precise. Just like yesterday, the sky was very gray this morning and we took our time to pack up our things. It was once more time to continue north, but not without going into the town itself to have a…
We arrived in the German city of Stade yesterday and spent the night in a room we found via Airbnb. Stade was early on our list due to its history as a part of the Hanseatic League. Actually, we left Germany today. We are on our way back home to Sweden after a great road…
On day 18 of our road trip, we continued on our way back towards Sweden today after our stop last night in Quedlinburg. Our destination for the day was Stade in northern Germany and that is where we now are spending the night. On our way here we made one stop quite close to Quedlinburg, in the…
We arrived in Quedlinburg yesterday evening. This is when we noticed that we had booked a really large apartment for the night, what a nice surprise! It might actually be larger than our apartment at home. It also took us a long time to realize that we are now in a part of Germany that was…
This morning we left Lahnstein to continue north, back towards Sweden. We first made a short stop for breakfast at Marksburg Castle, then it was a long drive north towards our stop for the night – Quedlinburg. There are three towns in this area of Germany that we want to visit. These are Quedlinburg, Wernigerode,…
