Finally we are out with the motorhome again! We left work early the day before yesterday and drove all evening. Only after eleven in the evening we arrived. It is a bit difficult to find a new place when it is dark, but we parked in a car park by the water.
With a motorhome in the car park
We have a really good position in the car park by the water here in Smögen. But we are surprised that there are so few people here. Isn't it high season for seafood this time of year? In any case, it's great to disconnect from everyday life and have a little mini holiday. You don't have to go further away than this! What are you doing this weekend?
Saturday in Smögen and more people. The rain has been persistent all day, but it's still really cosy to stroll along the pier and browse in the fish shops. We had a shrimp sandwich and a beer for lunch at Göstas, and then we collected the autumn's delicacies: crab, shrimp and mussels.
Mussels and crabs au gratin
Tonight it was oven-baked mussels. Very good to gratinate the cooked mussels with a coating of melted butter mixed with crumbled bread, chopped garlic and parsley. The Smögen crabs cost almost nothing (30 kr for two large ones) and had huge claws, but cannot compare with the Irish ones in terms of flavour and quality.

We enjoy the wonderful autumn weather we have here on the east coast, at home this weekend with our little boy but next weekend there will be a mini trip to Öland, it will be nice to get away again as we have not been out with the motorhome since we came home from the holiday. Also in the process of getting some order on all the cards that were taken then.
Looks good what you have set up;)

Oh how good seafood is. Now I was really jealous. I love seafood, it's the best there is. Here we have some family fun with film and popcorn while the rain pours down outside the window. Hope you have a great time!
