Last year, we (me, Peter, Billie and Billie's cousin Pontus) took a trip to northern Sweden with the camper van, and I promised I would show some pictures. In fact, it was really cold in northern Sweden last summer. Fortunately, we found some things to do anyway...

Sala silver mine
The first stop was at the Sala Silver Mine. This was a really interesting visit. We got to go 155 metres down into the mine and see the suite where you can actually stay one night. We also got to hear about the life of the miners in the past, and you are glad that you were not a miner in the past ...
Orsa Bear Park
The journey continued to Orsa where we visited the Orsa Bear Park. Here we got to see Siberian tigers, polar bears and cute little bear cubs.
Idre mountain
On the campsite at Idre we were fine with the motorhome, even though it was cold. There were plenty of reindeer here and we almost collided with one on the way up from the ICA store ...
Beaver safari in Lake Grövelsjön
In the picture below we were on a beaver safari in Grövelsjön. It was a nice canoe trip and we also learnt a lot about beavers. However, I have no idea where the beavers were staying ...
Horse riding in Idre
Peter on horseback in Idre. Things got a bit dramatic when Billie's horse thought she was going to back up, and didn't see the ditch behind her. I don't know who was more horrified, Billie or the horse ...
Rafting in the river Vindelälven
This is how happy I looked BEFORE the rafting. Now I can boast that I've done it, but I'm not going to do it again. Of course, that's because I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to water. The others would certainly do it again. Exciting and lots of adrenaline!
Pite sea baths
Pite Havsbad was nice, but what do you do at a bath when it's freezing cold ...? Maybe play adventure golf indoors? We did, and we also tested the artificial sun terrace.

It was amazing that I missed you by such a small margin! But I have to blame myself for being so bad at keeping track of my phone :/.

Camilla, I promise we thought it was a bit of a bummer too! Maybe our fault as well that we were a little unclear that we would leave so soon. Then you also had a restless 14-year-old who wanted to leave ...
