Millionaire? Moi?

Storebælt crossing

With brobiz. £34 for my 8m long 4500 kg lump.
Less than I expected.

How much?

Any delusions of being a millionaire are quickly squashed in Copenhagen.
We took sandwiches.:tongue:
 
Karlskrona, Sweden

£14.70 ish. But you get free washing machines and a free SAUNA!
Right on the harbour so can fish for your supper......wrong kind of sea for me. I tried 6 casts! Meatballs tonight.IMG_20190513_154250.jpg

This is a truly amazing campsite.
About £12 for access to a huge lake as big as Loch Ness,...free rowing boats.
A campsite that could have 1000 pitches but chooses to have maybe 30.
Moose, allegedly, campfire pots. We walked for three miles around the actual camping area.View attachment 71133

What is the name of it please?
 
Ekna Nature Camping

Find it on the Dutch app.
I rate it as the best ever site. There were only two others on the 100 hectare site.
 
Vadstena

Pleasant enough town, parked yards from the lake, but very hot and busy. Compared to the last haven of tranquility this is a bit mediocre.
 
All change for us !

Change of Plan !
I have a "Herring help" appointment at Specsavers on 10th June.
Thus the "Scandytrip" is off ! the plan was for 3.5 months but this would bring us back to UK too late as we have booked flights to Thailand for 25th September. Even just 3 months would be too tight.
So we will do a 3 month trip in 2021 (we hope). maybe the 3 month in EU rule will not be in place anyway..So wait and see.
We will go back to what was plan A . France Switzerland Germany and maybe more. Aiming to return to UK early in September.
Hearing aids need to be sorted now o make life more audible ! The plan for 2020 is Canada and USA and no time for such items.
Changing "Scandy" to Switzerland et all not really a hardship.
I think we will cope !
 
Random wanderings

Parked up outside the place that makes the little red wooden horses that every Swedish home has in their window.
Then wandered up the inland highway and landed near Hede.
Wild and remote with barky dogs and other wildlife making shrieky noises.
Saw first mosquito along with bunch of reindeer.

Wilderness Road opens on June 6th.
Plan to do it on way down.

My plans have evolved.
Up thru Sweden, into Finland for northern push, Lofotens and down thru Norway.

Missing out the Baltics and Poland.

This country is vast.
 
Good change of PLAN

IMHO
Maybe not too much time in Finland
Depends on where you end up in Sweden
No re-fillable LPG in Finland
Very sparse in Northern Sweden
Alta furthest north in Norway
