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.
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.

After sampling some authentic Thai cuisine last night at the onsite restaurant, Mä-Thai, we had changed our minds about moving on and were both in favour of a trip into Stockholm today.
A short 700 metre walk from the campsite is Bredäng Metro station which is perfect for the 10 km journey into the city on the Röda linjen/Red Line. Our destination was T-Centralen, Stockholm City, passing through Gamla Stan, which we would visit later in the day. Continue reading Stockholm→
