One of our to do list tasks whilst travelling up through Sweden was a visit to the capital city, Stockholm. After ablutions, in the caravan, a rarity, we packed ready to travel to our target for the day, Gränna Camping which was roughly half way toward Stockholm.

When packing to leave, I prepare the outside whilst Kim does inside. My job was much easier as we hadn’t detached the car, nor had an electric cable to wind, nor used the stabilising legs because of our late arrival. Continue reading Toward Stockholm→
Today we are heading for Sweden. We were booked on the 18:30hr TT Lines ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg so we had a casual pack up of the car and caravan. Lutz & Antje had an appointment in Berlin so we said our goodbyes and proceeded into Oranienburg for much needed supplies.

Around noon we were ready to roll and set off onto the autobahn. Almost immediately we were slowed to a crawl by road works and very heavy traffic. There were long sections of quite narrow lanes and 60kph speed limits.
Eventually we started to make good progress, well, 80kph progress which is the speed limit for untested caravans in Germany.
After a halfway stop for coffee we arrived in good time for our ferry, the delightfully named MS Huckleberry Finn.
Thursday morning we set an alarm, a rare event these days, locked the caravan, and set off for Dunkirk for the 10am ferry to Dover for what turned out to be a hectic week!
We were due to attend the wedding of good friends Ray & Denise on Saturday in Wokingham. My brother Steve was coming over to caravan sit.
We planned to visit with as many relatives as possible and do some shopping for stuff we have been unable to find enroute. We were also collecting our new Thule Omnistor canopy that Kim had purchased online as well.
We realised today that we have been more than a little remiss with the blog the last 10 days or so. This has been because we have either been travelling, heading north, or enjoying some good old fashioned doing nothing whilst taking in the sun.
We needed to make progress north to attend a wedding on the 30th, and we still want to visit Scandinavia this summer.
